persephone heart game, run 2

In the flicker of a candle-flame, in the stir of still water, in the fluttering of flower petals, there is a voice...

Once, there were...
...shadows in the window.
...footsteps at the gates of life.
...whispering at the door:
"Should I live or die? Am I living or dead?"
"To know the world is to choose it," says the Void.

[definitely dry. it seems that whoever was tending the garden has just...neglected them, after a while.]

[ time to wring hair water at the base of the wisteria tree then ]

[the wisteria perks up immediately, looking healthier. both your efforts seem to be helping a lot.]

[ hummm

wringing out the water from his clothes near another one. we'll just tend to flowers for a bit nbd ]

[ gardening is very fun and very nice.

let's water all these nice flowers. ]

[thanks to your efforts, the flowers are looking quite lively and happy. as happy as wisteria flowers in Persephone's heart can, anyway.]

[ pretty satisfied once they look livelier ]

Shall we go?

Mm, I think it's a good time to do so...

...is that his home village, ahead...? I think it might be.

It does look familiar.

[ offering his hand to shrike again ]

[ she takes it. hold hands for safety.

let's go to the village where nothing bad will happen, surely. and time to listen very carefully as they go. ]

[ hold hands for safety.

quiet too, listening himself. ]

[you can't really hear anything. a thin echo of a familiar melody but it's being suppressed. the path is very scenic and leads you to a village by the river.

the village is very peaceful. The architecture is very Sengoku crossed with cottagecore: since you were in Amaranth's ideal world, you recognize the place as Sange Village. Everything is neatly kept and looks to be thriving. in the distance, outside the village and near a larger and more secluded part of the river, is a shrine: but closer yet is a house that's somewhat nicer and bigger than the other houses and somewhat set apart. Like still part of the village but it's one of those 'this clearly belongs to someone of high rank' here kinds of places.

The house is where the wisteria path is leading.]

That's his singing, I think... I can't tell where it's coming from, though.

Maybe the shrine?

We can ask, right?

[ looking around before cupping his free hand to his mouth ]

Kirsi-san—!

I'm here. [and he's perching on the edge of one of the roofs, long legs dangling.]

That is the house you're speaking of, right?

That one over there? [pointing at the Nice House.]That is the one I mean, yes.

Mm.

Is it fine to go there, instead?

[ pointing to the shrine ]

Or is Persephone-san in the house?

Edited 2021-01-28 03:03 (UTC)

You can...try to go to the shrine, but you won't be able to.

I see.

So that's how it is. Thank you, Kirsi-san.

[ turning to shrike ]

There you have it.

Edited 2021-01-28 03:05 (UTC)

Ah, well—

[ with a slightly... weak, concerned laugh— ]

...I guess we know where we're going, then.

This isn't Amaranth's house, though.

That's how it is, unfortunately. You can try, though, if you'd like?

Mmm.

[ looking to the house ]

. . . I imagine it must be his husband's home.

...probably.

Persephone is... quite sure that his husband killed him.

. . . Mm. I'd imagine as much.
