Izanagi's Ideal World | 8/8
You wake up in a typical Japanese high school classroom to the sound of a bell.
You are dressed in one of two uniforms* (*Please button up your jacket properly!) - whichever your character would feel most comfortable in. The bell was apparently the signal for the end of classes for the day, because everyone else is getting up from their desks and mingling with their friends, making the motions of preparing to leave without quite going yet.
Among them is Izanagi, surrounded by a small group of students and chattering away energetically. There are two exits, one at the front of the room and one at the back, both of which lead to the hallway. On the other hand, if you want to try understanding what you’re doing here, this is probably the best opportunity to talk to Izanagi or talk to your classmates. You can also, of course, find each other and compare notes. There’s a bag hooked on the side of each of your desks, and inside are the typical supplies you would expect most students to carry: writing utensils and notebooks. These can be used, or not, as you please.

And of course they do. Why wouldn't they?
Re: FINALE
. . . What about your parents?

They left early. That's not so strange, is it?

Are you enjoying this?
Re: FINALE
But I know the Producers are.

Re: FINALE
Besides that, I'd rather have reality than live under a fake truth. You and I both lived like that for too long already.

[Any pretense of politeness, of cheer - it's gone now, his voice becoming a growl.]
Face it, Ayumu-- there's nothing for me out there. There's no point in me returning to that.
Re: FINALE
You and I have the same thing—nothing! In the cold hard truth of reality, I've got just as little as you do! All we have is each other, and I lost you before!
But I'm going back out there—I'm going to make my own happiness, and you can too! With me!
Re: FINALE
If we take the wish, we're stuck as demons anyway. If we go home, all there is is death.
I'm tired, Ayumu. I don't know how much more of this I can take...
Re: FINALE
[ trying to pull him closer, if he can ]
When we wish to go back, let's wish to go back to the period of time on Earth where they've gotten more clone research done, where they can solve our problems.
They never said we can't choose when we go back to.
Re: FINALE
...And the curse?
Re: FINALE
Don't despair waiting for it to overtake you. Do what good you can—live your life and do everything you can to keep yourself.
That's what I told them. I can't save them from themselves, and neither can you.
Re: FINALE
Do you really think... there's a single good thing I can even do?
[He doesn't remember it. He can't think of any instances where his existence brought about more good than it did pain, to himself or others.]
Re: FINALE
[ gently, ]
It's fine if it's not saving the world. It's fine if you're not the devil. You're just human, Hizumi—just like I am.
All that matters is that you keep trying.
Re: FINALE
He gets a huff of an almost-laugh for his efforts. It's followed by another moment of silence, but once he's had that time to gather himself again:]
...You still owe me a date.
[He's not actually looking Ayumu in the eye, and it's not a direct answer, but...]
