WEEK TWO: EXECUTION

EXECUTION: MARIE AMABUKI


Sunday morning starts peacefully enough, until around noon, when alarms start going off on your phones. The dreadful noise is accompanied by a reminder of the execution taking place in the Central Node. You can snooze the alarms at first, but they begin to get a little more insistent. If you're being stubborn, you can probably hold out until exactly 1 PM, when an archway opens right in front of you and pulls you in.

Today the Central Node is eerily quiet and empty. There are a few blankets laid out on the grass for those of you who wish to sit instead of standing the whole time. No refreshments have been provided, but the Residents are already there waiting for you.

As the last person enters the node, an enormous archway suddenly opens. This archway once again leads to an area which is pitch black inside, with white and grey dust falling softly like snow. The chilly air feels even colder than before, and you instinctively know you must not approach it. If you try to push through anyway, something is blocking your way. Smaller tears to the same space open in the air, at the very least. You can see what's happening, even if you can't follow.

Because - once the archway is open, Marie alone will begin to walk through as though drawn. All you can do now is watch and wait.

It's an execution, Kumopi. You sure you want to see that?

[ he doesn't sound that worried, really, just checking. ]

[... Well no he doesn't want anybody to have to go through this at all. But... Even if they look away, it's still happening.

He reaches out for Kazunari's hand.]

[ squeezes his hand and gives him a wink. ]

Okay. I'll be here with you the whole time, 'kay? You can look away whenever you want.

[A small nod.]

Yeah.
dms: (oya?)

Haha... So that's how it is, huh?

[ the prism throwing her memories of friends back in her face... damb. ]

It's cruel.

[Isn't it bad enough she's getting executed? Why is it rubbing salt in her wounds too?]

[ as she cries for itsuki, kazunari looks away and squeezes kumon's hand a little tighter, eyes squeezed tight so he doesn't have to watch. ]

[His eyes are squeezed shut, as he tightens his hold on Kazu's hand.]
