[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.

"Look," David says patiently, "I'll do chocolate with strawberries, and you can just eat all the strawberries off my pieces."

"In . . . theory, my birthday will be right after—well, in two months." David's voice is a bit quiet.

In two-- ...oh.

David doesn't say anything for a moment, then sits up straighter, looking straight at you and smiling, even though he's trying not to flinch back from the amount of light in the room.

"So we'll just have to make sure I have things worth celebrating," he says.

[virtuallyroyalty]

Jeez. I didn't even NEED that incentive!

"You're being selfish again," David murmurs. "You're not the only one here."

[virtuallyroyalty]

...Lucia?

[arsgoetia]

"Dumbass," David says, leaning back a little. "Heh . . . anyway, you go make nice with Yuki. I've got some things to take care of."

[virtuallyroyalty]

[:T punches David lightly again, then moves away to go hang with Yuki all awk]

Don't call me selfish and a dumbass IN A ROW.

[arsgoetia]

"I'll call you what I want~"
