idolpro | Vergil's heart game r2

You feel weak, your body won't move no matter how you try, and you are falling, away from everything you know and love. Away from everything you need to accomplish. If you could just reach out, maybe you could hold on to it, claw your way back. But it's a useless endeavour, you fall unconscious, and your mind goes blank except for poetry and a familiar voice.

O mother Enitharmon, wilt thou bring forth other sons?
To cause my name to vanish, that my place may not be found,
For I am faint with travail,
Like the dark cloud disburden'd in the day of dismal thunder.

My roots are brandish'd in the heavens, my fruits in earth beneath
Surge, foam and labour into life, first born and first consum'd!
Consumed and consuming!
Then why shouldst thou, accursed mother, bring me into life?

You wake on the ground in a cave, cold, wet, and sticky. It smells of rotting flesh. Your objective is clear, but you can't recall a name or face. Nothing else about your memory of him is changed, but for some reason the name "Vergil" just won't come to you, and you couldn't describe how he looks if your life depended on it. But at least your body starts to respond to your will, slowly regaining enough strength to carry on.

"The point is the same, no need to diminish it. But you're here with things to return, I see. Unfortunately we can't get inside right now, the door is locked..."

Can I blink in or break the lock?

[ and yes, totally ignoring that the point is the same - because she's right ]

She laughs a little. "Unfortunately no, I don't think so. But - I think Hades found the key. My amulet should fit in the door. You can wait for them here if you like, or leave all that with me until you're ready."

[ he has to actually consider it. Waiting here would be nice - this would mean she wouldn't stay alone. But he did promise Vergil he'd come back. ]

I'd leave these with you for now. Take good care of them until we can place them where they belong.

"Of course. The gate is nearly ready to open. They're in the throne room if you want to meet them. That's just through the library."

That depends.

Is Vergil with them or is he still in the Library?

"He's with them, you're very determined not to leave him alone, aren't you? That's sweet, I'm sure he will remember that even when this is over."

[ Oh no. Called out immediately. He's totally blushing but he pretends he's not totally embarrassed ]

It's nothing.

I'll be seeing you later. Thank you for your company and for keeping care of these.

[ and he'll blink away to the throne room in utter embarrassment before she can reply ]

there's no armour anymore.

Or rather there is but it's all just massive heaps of parts, nothing living.
