WEEK FOUR: EXECUTION

[saturations]

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.

[ His own anxiety spikes and now, somehow, he's feeling Anxiety Two. It's not better than Anxiety One. It's worse.

Could this happen to him too?

His breathing is getting ragged, fever coming to the forefront. ]

[ nooooo his kumon. ]

H-Hey. Kumopi, just breathe, okay? You'll be okay.

[ His rolls are terrible this weekend.

But he's always been an obedient child, as he does his best to keep breathing and not faint. ]

[ he's trying to scrape that sense of calm back together - if not for himself, then for kumon. he takes deep breaths along with him to try to shake the anxiety. ]

It'll be over soon...

[ hopefully without everything else they had to deal with last week on top of it. ]
