Izanagi's Heart Game - Session #5

They say
that snowdrops were formed
as a gift from an angel
bequeathed unto Eve
a symbol of hope and rebirth...

As you near the stage, the Fragments suddenly dip, pointing at an untouched square of stage. Actually, on further examination - there’s a thin line forming a square in the wood, and a hole one might use to stick their fingers into the piece to pull it off.

[ :o

going over to the hole, and pulling the piece off ]

Pulling off the piece reveals a long metal ladder that extends down into utter darkness. Looks like the stage was hiding a trapdoor all along.

The Fragments are still pointing into the depths of the hole. If tested, the ladder seems secure and sound, even if there’s absolutely no indication to where it might lead.

[ well!

no point in dallying. making sure he has all his stuff and then going downnn the hoooooole ]

As you descend into the darkness, you become aware of a consistent, shrill sound... It seems electronic in nature, and it grows louder, though never overpowering as you descend rung by rung.

Eventually your foot meets a tile floor, and you find yourself in a dark hallway. Enough illumination comes from a door at the end of the hallway to see that the walls and flooring all seem to be a sterile white - and whatever’s in the room has got to be the source of the sound. The door is ajar, although there is nothing in particular visible from this part of the hallway.

The Fragments float up again, pointing towards the door.

[ ahhh

let's open the door. ]

You enter a hospital room.

The heart monitor is flatlining, leaving it droning, a consistent and inescapable whine. Laid in the bed with white sheets drawn over a hospital robe is the thin and pale body of one who you may know better as Izanagi, eyes closed and unmoving.

Oddly enough, the light no longer seems as consistent - in fact, the Fragments are pulsing now, blinking in a steady beat. They seem to be tugging towards the body... and with a soft click, the badge loosens from your clothing, leaving the badge sagging.

It seems it may now be removed, although no matter how it is moved, the Fragments will continue to pull on their chains as they point at the body.

[ he doesn't really care to keep it anyway, he's going to go over there and offer the fragments to the body ]

The Fragments continue to pulse, steady and strong, the light growing stronger as they near the body. Once close enough, the Fragments begin to lose their color and shine - but Izanagi’s body gains it instead, skin flushing as the blood flow resumes once more.

Slowly, his eyes open, a glint of gold in the otherwise coldly lit room.

He’s alive.

[ reaching for his hand, holding it with both of his own ]

. . . Izanagi-san.

You really did make it here...

Thank you for saving me, Lucifel.

I had some help along the way.

[ handsqueeze ]

How are you feeling?

...Still weak, but getting stronger, thanks to all of that. "He's" been trying to bury me for a while now.

"He" thinks it will hurt less if he doesn't wish to live.

That hasn't really been working out for him though, has it?

No. But he wouldn't trust anyone to help him with it, either.

I can't say anything bad about that, since I'm the same. Still, I hope this much helped him, even if it's just a little.
