You feel lost, moreso than you did when you first arrived to Imeeji. For a moment you're almost convinced you've forgotten your name again.

> Take 2 Damage.

...only to be brought back to this world, this time, your identity as Eclipse who is now on AlcheME!, by the opening of the door behind you. It's a maid who looks like Silence, albeit with long wavy hair, who looks over you with concern.

"Are you okay? You walked right into this room. It was strange."

[ That was a trip, and Eclipse wipes at his brow. Its really more just to confirm he's still here. Then he turns to look at who just came in. ]

I...well, I've been wandering around lost.

You'll find she has a badge on her shirt that reads [Echo the 545th.]

"You sound like our mistress... you have my apologies."

She opens her hand, and holds out a Crumpled Flower like she expects him to take it.

Literally, I'm lost 'cause I don't know what's where in this house.

545th...?

[ Look he had to address this, then he takes the flower. ]

She blinks, looking at him, then down at her badge, like, oh, right, he's not a resident of this house, of course he's lost and questioning the number. When your hand touches the crumpled flower, you're struck with a memory.

Before you is the scene of a memory, of a long-haired Song wearing a patched-up dress, sitting on the bench. You can see as day changes to night, over and over again, as seasons shift several times, but Song remains the same—until you notice her talking to someone through the tiny barred window.

"I… My name… is… er,

what…

is...

my name?

I can't remember. I'm drowning… in all this noise…


The scene blows away like a wisp of smoke.

[ He blinks. Turns to look back at the prison. ]

That was...

Calmly, placidly.

"Song. Before she was ever placed on this program, she was already an amnesiac. She was destined to forget herself no matter what."

...Is that related to why she and Silence share a body?

She considers this.

"Yes, and no. Song has a connection to the Abyss—and her connection is what causes the amnesia. It corrodes her mind.

She formed a contract with a creature that created personalities in its targets... and could very well do so in Song's body as well.

These personalities were created to take the strain of the Abyss's corroding powers, even if it meant breaking all of them."

So...Silence and -- all of you, you're those personalities?

She nods. Her face is emotionless—very deliberately so.

"We die quickly, but Silence has lasted the longest..."
inspiteful: (You can't unsee it)
