Kek's slumped form is set out on the floor at the entrance, a clean hole has ironically gone through the circular sun at the centre of his costume. Unfortunately, his heart being higher in the abdomen than in humans and his intestines being lower means the impaling has only destroyed his reptile liver and is yet to kill him outright from bleeding out. He lays in a pool of his own poisonous blood, half consciously staring about.
Naksprite, while better off, still bleeds translucent blood from his explosion wounds and remains staring down own the tattered heir. He seems even more conflicted about forcing himself to prototype with the doable mordererthan with omega, probably because he's not even sure if he's even facing a living entity here.

RN and ON quietly started walking towards the LoIaR HQ, although they didn't know it as that.

The trip seems to take not very much time at all and before they know it, the two of them are in front of the place.
Upon arriving though, the building reverts back to when it was under construction, and only the house right next to it was built.
There appears to be a rocketscythe on the ground nearby, recently used it seems. It probably still works.
There appears to be some shapes of people inside the house, though there are also shapes of underlings outside the house.
Oddly well manicured gardens seem to stretch on for miles.
What will you do?

There appears to be a storm upon the horizon.
Thunder and lightning begins crashing down.
The cogs embedded in the fields begin levitating and spinning in midair.
The rain begins falling hard.
A strong dark aura is leaking from the stairwell in the center of the field.
At the castle, the walls seem to be getting taller and the room much darker.
The starry floor tiles glow in the dark as the red stained glass momentarily flash red light into the ballroom with every lightning strike.
The dead seths still remaining are afraid.

Raine starts to worry...There is a storm brewing outside and considering this is Seth's mindspace...Something bad might have happened...
She can't stall for time anymore.
She calls to the depths of her heart, a weapon. The silver mace appears in a flash, glimmering with light.
"No more! I won't let you hurt another soul!!"
She dives, charging straight at the tattered heir.
As soon as she gets close enough, she swings the mace in a complete sideways arc, making an audible sound as it moves.
Meanwhile, a Kat makes their way outside. It was Antheia.
She observes as the space around her grows dark. She notices the billowing darkness pouring out of the stairwell in the middle of the field.
She thinks to herself, maybe she can find out why it's become so dark here.
She would rather be erased looking for the truth then be erased in a futile battle.
She makes her way to it.

A torrential downpour beats down upon everything the sky touches.
It is ice cold.
There is a strong sense of fear.
The stairwell seem so far away, but with enough determination it seems it can be reached.
After getting about halfway there, it almost seems like, the staircase wants to be reached almost?
Perhaps something is being projected here, but the feelings are very strong regardless of their direction.

Antheia keeps going, not only out of a sense of curiosity, but out of duty. Something was there, she thought. Something important.
She can't take the coward's way out.
Not again.

The stairs lead down into the darkness.
Deeper and deeper they go down into the abyss, until sight can no longer be trusted to guide forwards. There is nothing but black.
Only what can be felt can be used as a guide now.
Despite the lack of sight, the stairs stretch onwards down into the endless night.
Eventually, you reach the bottom of the stairs.
Something can be heard.
Something from the left, and something from the right.
To the left, the turning of gears and the roar of a machine's engine.
To the right, the quick and steady beating of a human heart.
Still, nothing can be seen with the eyes.
Which way will you go?

Darkness.
A darkness so deep you would almost consider that you might not even be able to get out of it anymore.
Surprisingly, Antheia manages to keep herself calm up to this point. Not to mention she never tripped on the stairs. Lucky chance, she believes.
But now it seems she must make a choice.
She was never really good at those. But it would be best if she made one now.
She decides to follow the sound of machinery.

{Optional bgm:}
Chrono Trigger - World Revolution remix - "But the Future Refused to Change" )
The ground seems to be made of a hollow metal, as each step echoes down the corridor. As the path continues onwards, the engine seems to be so loud that the heart is completely drowned out. At a certain point, flames begin to flare into vision, momentarily lighting the path before consuming themselves back into the darkness. It seems there is a perilous grated walkway with many twists and turns up ahead. There does not appear to be a bottom far below from what can only be seen every few seconds. The weight of sins that may not even be your own keep you from being able to lift off of the ground. There is no railing, and the path is only about 2 feet wide to walk on. Beyond that, there appears to be some sort of solid ground, but it is hard to tell if it is truly even there or not. Can it even be trusted to be there once it is reached? |

She notices the heavy burden that has now been placed upon her as she catches a glimpse of what was to be passed through.
This was a trial. A trial she must pass through in order to find the truth, whatever it was.
She ignores the fact that she may be suspended in some indescribable height and takes her time moving forward. A slow pace, step by step. Using her feet to check if she was going to step in solid ground.
She can't fall here.
There is always a path forward, she just had to find it.

Slowly but surely, the path holds the weight as you carefully make your way towards the end. Stressful isn't even the first word to describe it. But with patience and precision, it is eventually conquered.
Your destination is finally reached, the ground beyond the metal pathway thankfully being genuine keeps you from the risk of falling.
From here on out it is a straight shot obscured once more by lack of sight.
No thought is even required to follow such a simple path, right?
There seems to be a peculiar feeling that emanates from further up ahead. A sense of obsession, juxtaposed with a desire for greater. The power to destroy any fear or threat that may ever cross your path.
But still, it cannot seem to quell the greatest fear of them all.
That the road may one day end.
Despite this, it seems to stretch onwards.

Antheia was relieved to know that the perilous and winding road is finally over, but can't shake off the feeling of dread.
These were someone's feelings...These trials, and the emotions they bring are the experiences of one person.
It was Seth's mindspace, after all.
But this seemed to be different from what she saw about the only living Seth...
And then it hit her.
The sound of machinery. The weight of unshakable sin. A desire of power stemming from fear, leading to obsession.
The fear of oblivion.
Antheia had only heard of the small hints of their connection to the Alpha, and that connection is what lead to this strange darkness plaguing the land.
She believes she now knows whose feelings these are.
But the only way to know for sure is to reach the end.
She braves the straight and dark path with resolve and determination.
Whoever this was may fear the end, but Antheia was willing to risk herself to seek it out.
Whether the end would bring her the truth or throw her into oblivion was still uncertain.

Eventually, you reach a room that should be larger, but isn't.
There is a presence in the center of the room, seated upon the seat of consciousness.
There are screens that cover the walls. Despite the footage being visible though, the rest of the room is still pitch black, unafected by the light of the scene being displayed.
In addition to a multitude of diagnostics messages and various computer programs shown to the side, front and center, the only thing that can be seen on screen is a terrifying mass of forsaken souls, bent upon destroying anything they touch. One of which in the dreadful pile seem to be highlighted.
An elf with a link-style hairdo, brandishing a bow and arrow.
He knew that elf before.
On a further screen to the side, a blurry scene involving large amounts of dangan-rompa pink blood plays over and over. It seems to take place on some sort of gray platform, in front of an oddly colored tree-shaped structure.
The presence in the center cannot be seen, but can clearly be felt.
He is angry
He is afraid
He is desperate
He is not going to let that terrible thing destroy everything.
But, amidst this, there is also something else.
He doesn't just fear for himself, but for others too.
Especially Her.
There is another screen showing a familiar scene of ballroom dancing. A very familiar girl in his embrace, yet so far away.
Raine.
That screen seems to illuminate just a bit more than the others, but it's light cannot seem to go as far as it wants to.
Even if he is wracked with all these things, he must continue.
He must do what he can.
He must.
There is no other option but to go forwards.
Even if the darkness takes him, maybe he can still bring hope to those still firmly planted in the light.
If there are even any left.
The entire situation is quite bleak.
Only a fearsome forbidden power could possibly save them all from the greatest enemy.
The immediate scene on the screen facing "outside" seems to be playing out in incredibly slow motion.
What will You do?

Antheia was wrought with worry.
There was a chance that he would destroy himself. Or worse...
She can't allow that. Not after all that's happened before then.
Even if he may be doing this with good intentions, that may go too far.
She calls out.
"Can you hear me...?"
She waits, but decides to keep talking.
"You mustn't risk your very being for this...There is still hope. I can see, I can understand that there may not be an option left...but please, do not let yourself fall into that dark place again."
She clasps her hands in prayer.
"The person you want to protect is fighting her own battle as well. But what would she be fighting for if she finds you gone the next moment? And if you do fall into that path again...Would you be able to stop yourself from hurting the people who care for you?"
She was just as afraid.
Perhaps there is no hope.
But that didn't matter. She had to do something.
"If you can truly hear me...Please...Stay determined...!"
