[Final Day] Endgame

[arsgoetia]

And just as suddenly as everything had began, the demons are gone—all of them. Not a single crow feather remains. As if being sucked backwards out of a vacuum, sound and light flood into the room and the hallway, crashing down on you. You are back in the real world, with noise and physics and sunlight streaming in through the window.

You are also left with two bereft Bellcourt children, the older of which is suddenly doubling over in his wheelchair and shouting in anguish.

...Do you think we'll be back in two months...

[tsundeargodwhy.livejournal.com]

I—I hope so . . .

[bestest]

They really can't do anything without us...

[tsundeargodwhy.livejournal.com]

I wish that wasn't the case . . .

[bestest]

...I guess it would be nice if they just stayed normal for five minutes.

[tsundeargodwhy.livejournal.com]

It would be nice . . . for Miss Lucia and David.

[bestest]

Bastien too, getting trapped and everything...

[tsundeargodwhy.livejournal.com]

And Kit as well . . .

[hrrgh wrench of guilt right through my heart]

...Nothing actually... happened to Christian, right?

[tsundeargodwhy.livejournal.com]

He—was fine before we left for the hospital.

[bestest]

Sera said he was okay too, just worried... [biting his lip :/a]

[tsundeargodwhy.livejournal.com]

He might still be at the graveyard . . .

[bestest]

[uuuuu...]

...I didn't really do anything to help...

[tsundeargodwhy.livejournal.com]

It still worked out—didn't it?

[bestest]

[ducks his head]

--It's fine. Just, I don't think he really has any reason to talk to me.

[tsundeargodwhy.livejournal.com]

But you're—close, aren't you?

[bestest]

[glooooom] I kind of abandoned him...

[tsundeargodwhy.livejournal.com]

There—there were other matters to attend to.

[bestest]

...If you say so...

[tsundeargodwhy.livejournal.com]

It's been—an event, to say the least.

[bestest]

Mm... I wonder if Lucia's house is so busy all the time or just when we're here...

[tsundeargodwhy.livejournal.com]

I—I would hope that it's not always this busy . . .

[bestest]

[sssiiiiigh] It's because we all always show up at the same time, everything gets crazy...

[tsundeargodwhy.livejournal.com]

I—I'm still glad that we do . . .

[bestest]

...All show up together?
