[ Hm, what's this?

Whatever you were doing before, you're sent to the Game Tower now. It looks like you're the only ones here, though—?

You'll find yourself in a spacious cave with a skylight. It's dark in the sky right now, but there are soft star-like lights hovering around, harmless to the touch. The ground is carpeted with soft moss and grass, and despite the size of cave, it feels rather homey and comfortable. Even if there is a massive feathery beast in the middle of the cavern.

It glows, not so brightly that it's hard to look at, but a soft chromatic light that pulses with its breath. Currently, it's perched on a nest made of . . . books? Books, jewels, clothes, parchment—all valuable things, to be sure, though some are odd choices for hoarding.

It lifts its head, looking toward you with a gentle, intelligent stare, before directing its head to an off-shoot cavern decorated with a banner of your unit's color. ]

[ Your cavern offshoot is still rather spacious, even with a human-sized egg pressed to the farthest cave wall. It's also surprisingly accommodating: the ground here is carpeted with lush rugs as well as pillows and blankets.

The egg is surrounded by a number of colorful smooth stones, most small enough to hold in one palm. There are eight colors in total, though multiple of each color. Hold a stone and you'll be compelled to speak honestly about the corresponding emotion.

You'll quickly find that your offshoot seems to have reduced echo, or perhaps even sound muffling—from here, you can't hear anyone from any other unit offshoot, and you suspect they can't hear you, either. ]

Oh, this is like that cooking game! But better, cause dragons.

It's not better, we're raising a child.

Not really...

Augh, now that you put it that way, I can't stop thinking about it that way! I can't raise a kid! I have no positive role models!

How are we possibly supposed to raise an emotionally healthy child...

My dad was a fucking awful person who tortured and manipulated us, got one of my siblings killed, got another one stuck in the future, and then drugged my sister and lied about it to us for our entire lives. Mom was great, but also a robot.

Like, I don't wanna put that on a kid?!

Mm-- Wait, direct those feelings towards the egg, talking about those things definitely counts---

That's like, the worst thing to give the egg??

...We'll call it "boundries", and the egg will be fine.

[ UN...SURE... and then snatches up a Fear stone ]

My dad was a terrible role model who never actually cared about us and only wanted us for the greater good, but even though he was a fucking awful dad we still always wanted his approval and we never got it, and I'm scared I'm going to fuck up someone else the same way.

I've never met a dragon before! Sea gods, certainly.

You mean before coming here or in general? Cause I'd argue that Pentium counts.

I suppose that's true! He doesn't ping as purely a dragon though. I got the feeling he was a bit more than what meets the eye, if that makes sense?

I gueeeeess?

[ HE WAS PRETTY DRAGON ]

I also didn't really get to "meet" him before he left. I was aware of him though.

Yeah, he's pretty hard to miss.

You miss him, right?

I miss lots of people!

I'm ... not from a world with any sort of supernatural creatures, and so ...

Do you wish you were? From a different world?

...

No, I don't think so.

In that case, I'm glad.

My world has demons and ghosts and gods, but...I can't imagine a world without them. My best friend, my familiar...they're not all bad. However, I can imagine it would be hard to go to my world from one without those things.

...

In my case, I'm sometimes envious of the people from Eichi's world. I'd like to be from his home, but ...

Mm, there are people from my home that are too important to me. My brother, the members of my unit, the fans of TRIGGER ... I lived my life entirely for them. I wouldn't exist without them.

Isn't it fine to be of two worlds?

...Mm, it is. I would get scolded if I were to say I didn't belong in both, after all.
