Mori's heart

[idolpro]

All at once a rainbow of bright lights feels as if it is bursting through you. It is an intense experience, but not an unpleasant one. As the colours burn through your skin, and lighting begins to spark through your veins, you feel stronger, you could take on the world right now.

Faintly in the distance, beyond the iridescent light show that overwhelms your vision, you can just about make out some silhouettes, but they’re too blurred, too indistinct and too far to tell anything about them. You can’t see them, but you know they’re welcoming you. You’re wanted here, you’re needed here, and the light is guiding you where you’re meant to go.

"Take the same door you came in through!"

He calls back. You guys are free to leave at any time.

[waves]

Thanks! Good luck with your battle! I'm using my paid time off for a vacation!

[annnnd he's gonna slink. slowly. towards the door. he'd stick around if Hiryuu or King or Gold were in actual danger, but they're just fighting dumb clothing so ya know]

[idolpro]

They'll be fine the clothes are in way more danger.

Upon your return, you see several more doors have appeared in the walls.

[. . . ah?]

[hesitation, before Mars meanders towards the rooftop door. is he able to open it?]

[idolpro]

He is able to get it open, but Inko panics when she sees him do so.

"A-Are you sure you want to go through that door?"

[foolmetwice]

[pppauses, hand on the doorknob]

. . . it was this or disaster relief, but this one's label is struck through.

[of course mars would choose the doors with high threat level ratings]

What's wrong with the rooftop?

[idolpro]

"You're going straight for the most reckless options..."

She looks down solemnly.

"That door isn't a place good for anyone to see."

[foolmetwice]

Yeah. That's the kind of reckless person I am.

[SLIGHTLY WRY]

Why not?

[idolpro]

"It... It's a bad place, Ren."

[foolmetwice]

[hhhha]

I'm built to handle bad places.

[idolpro]

"I... I don't know that it would do you any good."

[foolmetwice]

It's there for a reason, though. Isn't it?

[idolpro]

"...It is."

[foolmetwice]

So even if it won't do me any good, I don't want to ignore it.

[. . .]

You said you're here to offer support, right?

[idolpro]

She nods, "You're very kind, Ren... That's my job here, yes."

But at the end of the day, she is still a heart construct, and limited by what Mori's heart will allow him to deal with.

[foolmetwice]

Then support me while I'm there, all right? I'm tough. Whatever it is? I can take it.

[and with that? he's heading through the door to the rooftop]

[idolpro]

Inko takes a deep breath, and looks him in the eye.

"Okay. Good luck."

You walk through the door.
