EVE'S HEART

[aprettygirl]

A dark veil slips over you, obscuring your vision; it’s cool and clinging, and blocks out all outside sensation. You drift downward . . . as you do, you grow more and more aware of the pulse of your own heartbeat, until it’s a ringing, unpleasant throb in your ears.

. . . after some time, it’s interrupted by a soft splash, and you feel solid rock underfoot.

Something white is offered to you: a pale mask that gleams in the moonlight, made of something hard and polished.

...Is that the thing that's been brushing past me all the time?

[Well whatever, if it's being offered, I'll touch it, I guess?]

"No...that was me."

You gain the memory of a conversation with a red-haired girl in a hospital bed (Read from this page until page 4 of the next chapter.)

[...Do you want my opinion on this? Do you really want my opinion on this?]

That's... so stupid. That's not coexistence, you even said so yourself. That's just turning people into things on both sides.

[It's probably a good thing that I don't know that the antagonist in my series's goal was to make a 'paradise where everyone is happy', or I might have even stronger objections.]

She's silent; possibly because she has already stated that her opinion on it matches yours.

Then, with that kind of situation... Nothing's going to get better while the empress is around, but things will get even worse if the empress leaves?

"War and destabilization, at this point."

[...You really worked yourself into a hole, didn't you? How am I supposed to figure out a way out...]

No matter how you look at it, the basic rule behind it all has to go, but...

Re: blood (by nightlight)

"Mmm . . . it's a tangle."

Re: blood (by nightlight)

[mirroredvalue]

[...You know I can't think of any way to fix that either. I really hope you're not expecting me to have some sort of revelation there.

I mean, I'll try anyways, but...]

Nnn....

Re: blood (by nightlight)

[aprettygirl]

"...it's all right."

Re: blood (by nightlight)

[mirroredvalue]

...Yeah. Sorry, Star's no good at this kind of thing...

Re: blood (by nightlight)

[aprettygirl]

"It's a relief to have more people know, at least.

Would you like to go, now?"

Re: blood (by nightlight)

[mirroredvalue]

Guess so? Unless there's somewhere else Star should check out?

"Well--"

But the beach is fading.
