[ The room is BRIGHT YELLOW, as all the rooms you will enter are. Black tiles make up the floor, changing to your unit's color when pressure is placed on them. There is a button in the very center of the room standing on a podium; it's slightly smaller than palm-sized.]

Duality vs Nychta

Stay there, kid.
Re: Duality vs Nychta
You're Silver's...
Re: Duality vs Nychta
[ immediately walking towards the button, eyes still trained on him. ]
And I'd say you guys owe us this one after your moron tried to kill Talon.
Re: Duality vs Nychta
That... that was Kharg acting on his own. We would gain nothing doing something as lowly as attacking someone. What he did was inexcusable, but don't you dare lump the rest of us in with him.
Re: Duality vs Nychta
Too bad.
Re: Duality vs Nychta
... don't die. Silver would be upset.
Win: Nychta
After about thirty seconds, if the winner does not proceed to the next room, the floor tiles will start moving up one row of tiles at a time, starting from the back wall - they tilt to a steep angle that rounds at the edges, even gaining a slippery quality to ensure that none may be able to get a grip on the tiles or move backwards. The winner will eventually be pushed out of the room and into the next one. (To be unlocked when the next round unlocks.) ]
Hallucinations - Duality, cw burning, impalement, strangulation
You really were! What else were you supposed to feel, after all, when you were tossed aside by the people you were trying to save? You were called a monster, a savage, a wild flame that must be snuffed out. A demon, masquerading as a hero.
Those who you wanted to protect hated you because despite your strength, you couldn't save all of them. But that's unfair, isn't it? Because nobody can save everyone, as much as they'd like to try. So why, why why why why would they lay those lives at your feet? You tried! You failed, but anyone would've. So yes, of course you were angry. Anyone would've been.
And because of that anger, the charred, still smouldering bodies of those you called your friends now lie around you. The scent of burning hair and skin and flesh rises up into the air, the billowing smoke signaling your crime to all who can see.
You were angry. You could have stopped, and honestly, you should have. You couldn't hear their voices as they cried out to you, first in sorrow, then in horror, and finally in pain.
You accept your punishment, then. As a fallen hero like you should. It's the least you can do for those you failed to save. It's the least you can do for those who you murdered.
It's the least you can do to prove you aren't exactly the same as your father.
That thought is all that gives you solace as the bucket of boiling hot water pours over your head, searing and scarring your whole body, your nerve endings set aflame. It's all that helps you cope with the pain of the jagged icicle that comes crashing through your gut, impaling you. It's unfortunately not quite enough to help you overcome the fear that shoots through you when you feel those hands around your throat, and yet even as your windpipe is crushed you still don't die - and then the hands let go, trembling. There's more cries declaring your monsterhood, but you don't know where they're coming from anymore. Another attempt at strangulation is made, and your chest constricts. You struggle, and struggle, and it takes so long but eventually darkness begins to find you.
The execution is neither clean nor swift, and your father's shadow can never be truly cleansed from your horrid little soul, but at least maybe you can find the slightest bit of peace in the cute little kitten that rests against your chest, purring as it blissfully ignores your struggles and broken gasps for air.
