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...

Re: Stage
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.
But you already know, don't you?
Re: Stage
time to go down ]
Re: Stage
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.

Re: Stage
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.
Re: Stage
we are, actually, going over to the body to drop the fragments onto it ]
Re: Stage
Slowly, his eyes open, a glint of gold in the otherwise coldly lit room.
He’s alive.

Re: Stage
...You really saved me this time.
Thank you, Ayumu.
Re: Stage
[ but, reaching out for his hand ]
Re: Stage
[Taking his hand.]
The chemistry really gave you trouble though, huh? That was a close call.
Re: Stage
[ but there's no heat even as he's grousing, and he's moving to lean against him ]
Re: Stage
I think you're overestimating how much power I had here. I tried to help a little more when I heard your voice, but... I've been losing ground quickly.
"He's" been trying to bury me for a long time now. And "He" almost succeeded.
Re: Stage
Re: Stage
The part that "believes he is already as good as dead" and the part that "wants to be saved despite that."
1/2
Re: Stage
Re: Stage
[Not. Even arguing to defend "himself."]
...But all of this helped. The more people help him - the more people save him - the harder it'll be for him to deny it.
That there are people in this world who consider him as someone precious.
Re: Stage
maybe, a little uncharacteristically, giving a little smile ]
Good. He'd be better off not denying it.
[ does that mean he'll remember the secrets said though. ]
Re: Stage
Still... you looked like you were deliberating on a lot when you were working on those books.
Would you like me to bring them here so you have a little more time with them?
Re: Stage
Re: Stage
...The books in that library are just the things he knows and believes. About general knowledge... but also himself, you, and your relationship.
There's really nothing else you'd like him to understand better?
Re: Stage
If I could get him to understand me perfectly, that would be easier for me.
But if I did that, then I'd just have manipulated him into what I want him to believe in, in the name of "getting him to understand better". I wouldn't be any better than my brother.
It's hard and I'm not great at talking, but that's how it should be.
Re: Stage
I really don't have that much power... Even if he knows that information, how he chooses to interpret it is still up to him.
All I can do is give you opportunities. But whatever ultimately manifests is up to you.
