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?

[ This explains the notes with the changing vase. That poor young woman who longed to be someone special. She was even willing to be a part of something twisted like this program if it meant having that chance at living as that dream. Short-lived, as it's all for a killing game of entertainment in the end, but still a life lived in a way that exploited the ... For what? What's so fucking

This is beyond inhumane. It's wretched. If she lived in a world where this was this source of entertainment, he doesn't blame her desperation.

But the manifestation of that world's callousness trouncing on her like this once she was no longer worthwhile of prop even here... needs to fucking go. He's furious. ]

You deserve to live whatever life you wish. What you believe in to move forward. That is not, and can never be a falsehood.

[ Yi Sang charges in and stabs the Ultimate Maid (19). ]

But this pretense that deigned you as a prop in their eyes needs to fucking disappear...!
