Skylark's Ideal World | Session 3

Once, there was a maiden...
...who was driven from her land.
Great black stags chased her, and their eyes shone blue.
Monsters scrambled after her through the bush, though they found her not.
Stumbling on a log, she fell and thought to surrender, and end the torment of the hunt—

... ... ...

You're so, so tired.

Why carry on?

... Surely, it's okay to take a break—

"I see."

Gently, serenely, with the same placid expression.

"While hurting him may be inevitable—if that's the case, then I have nothing more to say or give to you."

So you do know you're supposed to be fucking dead.

[touching the side of his head, mirroring where the flower is in her hair]

Purple--that's for Endings, isn't it?

"Well, all of us know this is not as it should be."

That's a 'yes', probably.

And here I thought his mom wouldn't want to be doing anything that hurts him. Guess I was wrong about that, huh?

"I'm not really her, you must realise that."

Something sure is happening.

"Oh dear..."

Maybe not. But you're still something made in her image.

Do you think he's better off this way? Thinking that he can have you, and Lancelot, and Crane. Just one big fucking happy family. Someplace where death doesn't exist.

"What do you think?"

[crossing his arms and leaning back against one of the pavilion columns, looking out over the sea]

Death is inevitable. Running away from it doesn't make that any less true. And it won't make the real Fluttering Moon any less dead, either.

"That is true. ...He is just too tired to have to grieve for 'me' a second time. How unfortunate that it is being taken advantage of."

"Tearing this dream apart is the 'right' thing to do. However—I want him to return with renewed will and hope for the future. Even if it's painful, right now."

"Isn't it disgraceful for someone to shatter this world, yet not take responsibility for it?"

The entire time, she doesn't stop smiling serenely. Not even once.

Well, that's just fucking selfish. Now I have to give him a reason to live and break this shitty fucking dream? It's not like I can give him hope if he doesn't fucking want it. And if he already does, what the fuck else is there for me to do?

Anyway, I don't have shit to give him either way, and you should know that. Except, there's a real fucking Crane and a real fucking Lancelot out there, and they're both waiting for him to keep the real fucking promises he made them, even if he can never keep the one he made you.

"Well, I am a part of him, after all ♫"

As if to say, what else were you expecting from her?

"Perhaps it's better to say it's not so much 'a reason to live' and 'hope' as he needs some solace once in a while. You can't make a long journey without rest, no matter what kind of promises you want to keep."

...

She tilts her head.

"You don't consider your company something that can be given?"

I'd say I spend more than enough time with that fucking pipsqueak. Someone else can pick up the slack.

"Then, let me ask it another way: do you think he enjoys spending time with you?"

[I don't like where this is going]

He must get something out of it, or he'd shrink me to stick in a fucking jar or something every time I got too close.

"Sweetheart, have you perhaps ever considered that he likes you?"

[don't call him sweetheart while wearing your mom's face Lark!1]

Is that fucking relevant?

You've seen Lark's memories, this is just how his mom talks!

"Well, I can't exactly accept that you're going to break this dream without some assurance that he'll be okay afterwards, hm? Is that so unreasonable?"

Which is to say, yes, it's relevant.

[yeah but this isn't Lark's mom this is ?Lark? pretending to be his mom,]

I can't guarantee shit, and neither can anyone else running around in here, so yeah, it kind of is.

Do you really want to test that, Valor.

"Not even a promise to spend a bit of time with him after all this?"

Is that what you want? Fuck, sure, he owes me a fucking game of mahjong anyway.

"Promise?"

Were you expecting anything else from someone that has his mom's face.

You know it's kind of fucked up that you're using your fucking dead mom to ask me to hang out with you?
