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?

...So she acted on something that was threatened too, huh?

[No sense in hiding it. Everyone likely knows her from the anon post now, and there's no sense in playing coy about the fact that it was her actions that set everything in motion.]

I understand. She always had the weight of the world on her shoulders, it seemed like. I can only imagine what was used against her.

...But let's make sure she's okay. She deserves to understand that there's better in this world beyond that game, too.

we can live in the past here it's fiine

'The weight of the world' sounds about right, yes.

[ He does know about what was leveraged against Kirumi, though he's not going to spill the beans on it if it can be helped. They're invading Kirumi's privacy enough as is. ]

So let's go find her, and let her choose again. For herself.
