WEEK FOUR: EXECUTION
EXECUTION: TRIAL BY COMBAT
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, Atsushi and Vin alone will begin to walk through as though drawn. All you can do now is watch and wait.

I'm kinda surprised he's lasting this long...
[Also said quietly. He assumes the compulsion that drives their refracted will kick in sooner or later. He just hopes there's no overpowering backlog or something when that happens.]

Despite his concerns, though--there's something soft there, a pained relief that they seem to have had a chance to say everything they wanted to say, just in case they don't get the mercy Percy and Vax got. There are worse notes to die on.
He rests his head on Kashuu's shoulder, quiet.]

He gently bonks his head against Yasusada's as it rests there, his breathing and expression even despite his tangling emotions. It's difficult, all of this, but he hopes that saying anything at all will hurt less than leaving things unsaid. For both of them.]
