[He's never died before. He's been warned that it can happen during games, but he never expected it. He thought he could handle it, that it would be fine because he wasn't really dead, not when someone from Pep could just revive him. He wasn't prepared for how it would actually feel.

The blade sunk into him like his skin, muscle, and bones were liquid. Blood welled up in his mouth and he has to remember how to breathe. He feels like he can't because his heart is beating so fast he can't keep up. He can feel the blood soaking his shirt, making it stick to his back.

Luna...

He can't even speak, a liquid-gurgling noise escaping as blood choked off his words. All he can do is stare at this girl while he dies.]

[ As you bleed out, the world around you becomes darker and darker, dissolving as if it were just a dream --

Unfortunately for Noctis, he finds himself just back at the start again. He'll remember everything that happened, and there'll be a scar on his chest from where the sword went in, but otherwise? It's like he never got stabbed in the first place. ]

[Well. He's back. He's also really annoyed.]

Hey.

[Thanks for stabbing him. He's going to stay several feet away from you now.]

[ she smiles at him as if nothing ever happened! ]

Hello. I was waiting for you, you know.

[>:(]

Right. You kept calling me Somnus. Who is that?

[Still staying physically distant from her. Nope. Not getting stabbed again!!]

[ she tips her head, seeming a bit lost. ]

Did you forget your own name?

[Ughhh fine if she won't answer...]

You said it was God's Decree before stabbing me. Is that what happened to Ardyn?

[ There's pain on her face, and she looks to the side. ]

... You should know better than I.

[So he's right.]

This place is important to him. Why? You told me this is where everything changed. You mean when he became the way he is now?

[Well, he's probably prying and Grandpa is probably not going to like it but... he's here. He wants answers.]

[ Grandpa will not like people poking around his heart at all so it's kind of a losing game from the start!

Aera doesn't reply; she looks to the side, her face downcast. ]

... Will you sit with me?

I'm not falling for that a second time.

[Crossing his arms.]

Tell me what happened here.

You should know, more than anyone else.

[ her voice is a whisper;

and this time instead of holding him in place, there's an arm grabbing Noctis around the shoulders from behind, the sharp point of a sword going through his chest once more. ]

[He struggles, of course. He lifts his arms and tries to jerk away or pull at the arm holding him, his breath coming out fast and panicked as the sword plunges into his chest again. It's just as quick as before, just as terrifying too.]

Stop-

[It was already too late.]

Edited 2021-01-29 02:09 (UTC)

[ It's already too late. The sword tears out of him, too, leaving a gaping bloody wound in his chest just like before.

Aera pulls away only then -- her own chest has been pierced through, but there's no physical pain on her face. There's remorse, a resigned sort of emotion to how she looks down at Noctis. ]

I'm sorry.

[ -- before he'll find himself back at the central area again, with another lovely scar! ]
