The new seth looks up at the two of them. Theta tries to loom as ominously as he can, hood pulled up so only his glowing blank eyes can be seen.
For a moment, his eyes still appear to have life.
"Hello Seth. Welcome to the end."
Upon seeing Theta in full reaper mode, he shudders in fear as his eyes turn blank.
Seth knows the truth now.
"..."
He is dead.
Theta takes off his hood. He seems quite excited and proud of himself.
"Sorry if I'm a little scary, just doing my job. I do have to say I've gotten it down pretty well at it around here."
Link Seth speaks up, facing Medi.
"...Raine, is that you? What happened to you?"

She looks at him...She's shivering. Her eyes fill with static.

Link Seth blinks a couple times before answering. "Well, it looks like I just died. It doesn't make any fucking sense though. Usually when I lose all health I just get kicked back to the beginning of a dungeon!"
Theta glances at his directory for a moment. "It says here you were possessed when you died. Considering you were physically in a coma around the time of this part in your life, I can see how it could have worked out."
"...seriously? You're saying some asshole ghost jacked my body while I wasn't using it?"
"That's very likely. Because your connection to the world of the living weakened during your in-game death, it was enough to sever your ties to your body and allow whoever took it to gain full control."
Link Seth takes a moment to process that.
"That's just completely unfair. Also, does your shitty book say who made off with my body?"
Remembering how things went during his adventure with alpha Seth, Theta is 90% sure he knows the identity of the spirit that took over his body.
"I believe I know who it may have been. It was Chronos. He stole your body."
Link Seth sits there, still looking at Theta and Medi.

Medi backs away. An expression of absolute horror on her face.
She looks down, at her mace, then glances at the Link Seth, then back at her mace.
She's shaking. The static in her eyes is heavy. The area glitches even more.

Link Seth and Theta look at her, and back at each other.
"What the fuck do we do now, Death?"
"Please call me Theta. And... I'm not sure. I never got this far in my studies..."
"What do you mean you never got this fucking far?!"
"I'm still taking classes for this reaper shit!"
Link Seth is honestly afraid right now. Not only is he dead now, but the girl he once knew has something wrong with her.
Then, he notices it.
"...the mace! That was the mace from the same fucking guy! It has to have something to do with this!"
Theta looks over at Medi and her mace. It all makes sense now how she was able to break the egg open early.
It was all a fucked up escape plan made by Chronos!
"Oh no..."

Medi...doesn't look so great right now.

She drops her mace, it makes an unnaturally loud and echoed noise as it hits the ground
Her body slumps down, arms limp, legs bent. Like a puppet.
"T̨̧h̨͡i̶̶͘s ̷iş̷̕.̕͞.͡..͏.̡̛͞m͠y̛͠ ҉̸f̵̴a̸͜ú͠҉l͢҉t͞..͞A̛͝lĺ̀ m͡ý ͏f̡̡a̕u̢̧lt͠.̧.̵̕.͟͠.̡͠"
She stares at the ground.

Link Seth wordlessly stares at Medi, unsure of what to do for her.
Theta appears quite nervous, frantically checking his notes in his decomposition notebook for any clues on what to do next. He has yet to study an event like this quite yet.
He's starting to wonder if taking her here was the best idea.
While visiting dying memories is what usually works with most seths, she's clearly not one of them. She has different needs than what Theta is used to accommodating for. This is probably why a license is needed to become a reaper.

Medi remembered everything now.
And it was too much for her.
"W̷̨̧̕͜h͏҉́́.͘҉̷͜.̸҉̸̛.̡͜Y҉͘.̸̡́́͢.́͞.̶̷Ẃ҉̧H̸̶͞y̸͜.̧́́͟͡.͟.̧̧̀͡͡.̛͝.̵̀͠͏͘.̸̛͟͝҉W͏̶̸͢h҉̴͘͟͡Ỳ̶̨͞.͘͞.́͘.̶̨.͢͠"
Her legs buckle. Eventually her whole body falls, slowly her form goes back into a minuscule soul.
Meanwhile, the mace moves on it's own. A phantom can be felt holding it.
Medi's voice is heard, but not from her.
[Why...Why are you showing me this...? Why...]
[...]
[Answer me...Why won't you answer me...?]
[Please...Let me hear your voice...I...I Don't want to be alone...]
[Don't leave me...]
The phantom holds the mace close.
Sobbing echoes in the room.
After what seemed like an eternity, the phantom breaks off two clock hands from the mace.
One in each hand, they slowly move them to their neck.
The room can barely even be called a room anymore.
[I'm....I'm sorry...]
And in an instant, the phantom was gone.
A red stain is all that's left.

"Raine!" Link Seth goes to rush towards her, but Theta holds him back. "Let go of me!!"
"D-don't interfere with the process! She has to face her demise to accept it!"
"You really think making her go through this shit is the right thing to do?! She's in pain!"
"She's dead. You're dead. We're all dead here."
"It doesn't fucking matter! She deserves better than this!"
"It's hard when what she had before was destroyed by the null!"
"The null? That fucking scary power Mike used to have?"
"Yes, that one."
Link Seth stops struggling and just stands there in the chaotic pocket of space that was once a room.
"Seth, she's lost nearly everything. I'm trying to help her get a fresh start on the rest of her afterlife. I'm trying to help her grow after she lost half of her soul for fuck's sake!"
He then finds the strength to speak.
"Theta. Do you really think, making her experience her death again, is going to magically fix her like some kind of fucked up wizard spell? Shit doesn't work like that. All you're doing is causing her pain. If anything, you're probably stunting her growth due to the sheer trauma! What do you have to say to that, fun size?"

Silence.
Medi's soul just sits there, motionless.
There's a strange sense of...stagnancy in the room.

Theta doesn't know what to say, so he looks over towards Medi. He's shocked to see that she has gone dormant, maybe even donetier.
"Look at what you've done! Look at the shit you've caused! I hope you're happy about this!" Link Seth yells at Theta before pulling out an ocarina and playing Manbo's Mambo.
He successfully warps away, leaving Theta and the soul of Medi alone in that dark, and ambiguous pit together.
Theta looks over at her.
Where did he go wrong? He did everything he usually did that often worked.
He can't just leave her like this.
But what can he do?
What can he even do...

Meanwhile, Link Seth has been wandering around the 3rd floor of the tower for a little while now. He had found a weird as fuck elevator at the bottom of the mountain and with nowhere else to go, it seemed obvious to take the elevator.
Where the fuck is he now though? Is there anyone in this fucking dump?
For some odd reason, he doesn't seem to have the energy nor care to go past the 3rd floor.
Maybe he'll just stay here a while.

The elevator arrives. It's doors open and out comes Eniar, stumbling out in a cold sweat.
The ludicrous speed of the elevator's descent was a bit...No, it was definitely terrifying.
"...siht ekil rotavele na etaerc dluow namdam fo tros tahW"
He clutches his head, still dizzy...Probably gained a headache as well.
But he had to recover.
Ikin is still on the loose.

Link Seth can sense a member of the living in the room.
He makes his way towards this person and... oh fuck, it's one of those weird bizzaro puppets. But wait, the first puppet was non-living, right? Then again, Marin was rumored to be a puppet as well, and she at least seemed alive. Only one way to find out, and not much else to lose, right?
Eniar encounters a boy wearing a red tunic with horns and blank eyes. Probably others similar to him have been seen before though this one doesn't have his hat on. A red ocarina is in his hand.
"Okay, I want some answers and I want them now. Who the fuck is the puppetmaster pulling the strings in my dreams? I think I deserve to know that much after dying." He glares at the mirror person.

Eniar eventually regains composure, his breath normalizing. As someone appears to be walking toward him, he glances up. He frowns from seeing their horns...He can never escape from this, can he?
The fact that this ghost of Seth is demanding answers definitely isn't helping one bit.
But it is something he may as well answer. Or at least try to.
Eniar takes out a small machine and starts to speak, the machine playing back backwards so that they'll understand. He seems to stutter at the middle of his speech.
"That would definitely be obvious. Those horrorterrors are the ones responsible. After all, you were a potential danger to their kind. Ou-Err....His traits are a part of you, so of course they had to contain you somehow."
He had almost spilled something he would regret mentioning, but had narrowly saved it somehow. Revealing their failed project to any Seth would be disastrous...
"...Why are you asking me this?"
---
And still Medi does not move.
The area goes from a dark dreary to a pristine white...Well, as pristine as a white abyss that's tainted heavy with glitches would be.
The red stain slowly spreads.
