Kirumi Tojo's Palace | The Ultimate Maid's Failures

[kandata]

By now everyone may be used to find themselves in bizarre locations, between going into palaces and visiting Nekyia. It might not come as a surprise that it has happened again.

What might come as a surprise, though...is how empty this place is.

All around you there's nothing more than a large, gray, featureless expanse. In the distance there seem to be bars, curving upwards to gather so, so high above you, possibly hundreds of miles above, so high it’s hard to distinguish.

It’s a cage. So unfathomably large. You could escape, were you to get to the edges of the cage, but...it would take forever. No matter how you look at it, you're trapped. The atmosphere is so...hopeless. Devoid of anything even remotely positive.

Not that you want to hang around for long, do you? After all, this is someone's palace. Not a place to stick around at. What to do, though?

It’s all so...empty. Silent. Featureless. A flat expanse of hard gray tiles.

Gather together, everyone. Gather and choose a direction. North, East, West, South. All directions look completely identical, but could it affect your time in this place, somehow? Probably not. But all treks start with the first step. Perhaps, if you get moving, you'll progress?

[ He will rest a gentle hand on her shoulder. Argenti is certain she will not wish for so much of a big production to be made, but he will give a showing of understanding support - not willing to hold that back..

But not only that, of course. As Sayaka speaks, he too has words in turn: ]

You are most certainly right.

We cannot let her be submerged in this struggle alone. Even now, like this, I am certain she would wish for us to assist her.

[ Before, Kirumi may have faced the situation she was in alone. He does not doubt there will be possibly even more to be revealed, but just like before, he intends to stand steady. ]
