Week Three

[letsplayamod]

A new week rolls around. You are three people lesser than you were at this time last week. No owls mark the horizon, or tall goddesses stroll the pavilion. Wherever Athena's gone, it seems her promise to return promptly hasn't met with success... or worse.

What's more, Typhon's presence now looms over the island. His twisted game now fully realized: if you really wish to leave here, you'll need to get away with murder, and one of your own already failed and reaped the consequences. There's no change for Crito or Sayo's statues on the pavilion. They simply stand silent, watching the rest of you go about your lives as fresh godlings.

It's not all bad, however. The clouds that marked the sky as near-perpetual overcast have started to wane. Stars and sunlight have started to peak through. Within the temples, the strange force keeping you from taking those mysterious stairs has finally vanished. You're free to move to the next level of whatever this shimmering palace has to offer.

Mutsumi Wakaba. I thought-

[Blink. Blink.]

...oh. That's why...

[cannotunravel]

Yes.

[Misane nods]

Mutsumi, are you aware of what happens while you're not, erm... [How to ask this...] ...the one piloting the body?

[That's the best analogy she could think of]

[threeapplestall]

...not this time.

Mortis, she... decided to keep it hidden.

[Mutsumi's fists clench.]

But I still want to know how she...

[cannotunravel]

...I could answer questions to the best of my ability. Not all answers are out there, but I can tell you what you want to know.

[........]

As long as you promise to stop listening if it becomes too much for you.

[threeapplestall]

...was it... peaceful for her, at least?

[cannotunravel]

You mean, her...departure?

[Her death, more like, but Misane is trying to be thoughtful with someone who already is gloomy]

[threeapplestall]

...how... she died.

[Well, it looks like Misane's intuition was once again right on target, since Mutsumi wilts just by saying that.]

[cannotunravel]

It was fast. Sayo didn't suffer nor was forced to endure long torments.

[That may be a miracle on its own way, really]

That might be the best one can aspire to around here, so please take solace on that it might have been as peaceful as it could be in these circumstances.

[If you look it in a certain way, at least. Misane feels she's stretching the truth a little, but oh well]

[threeapplestall]

...mm. Okay.

It's... [Mutsumi's hesitancy in even voicing this thought is ironic, given how readily Mortis acknowledged it.] It's going to happen again, isn't it?

[cannotunravel]

I'm afraid I think so. [Can't lie to you, Mutsumi] It's likely to happen again.
