Early heart run.

[restorefromsave]

As you step through the door a siren goes off, the sound echoing in your ears for several minutes as the world goes completely black and empty.

You’re not falling but you’re not really standing on anything either, and all that you can percieve is the sirens still blaring, loud loud loud in your ears--

There’s an explosion so huge you don’t see or hear it so much as feel it through to your very bones. You feel an impact, strange and unsettling, and you think you might be dead? Because you can’t feel your body anymore.

Slowly the sound begins to fade and light and feeling returns, allowing you to see where you are. You’re also alive, good for you.

You end up here at the end. Unless you're Yuki, who ends up here.

[Ducks his head, again he looks a little transparent, or was that just a trick of the light. He reaches for his tea, which he has to kind of comically lean waaaay forward for, and mumbles a little shyly.]

It's okay... Um. Did you want some tea...?

Re: ???

[telepathetically]

Oh, um, sure, if there's extra.

Re: ???

[restorefromsave]

[He slides off the couch and carefully gets out a tea cup and the tea pot. He um, spills a little. He's young! But he serves it and offers it to Yuki.]

People don't usually come here.

Re: ???

[telepathetically]

Thank you.

Is um... that good or— sorry for intruding?

Re: ???

[restorefromsave]

I don't mind if it's you.

Re: ???

[telepathetically]

Ah— t-thanks.

Re: ???

[restorefromsave]

[Climbs back on the couch, this time next to Yuki, picks up his own tea and looks down at it. He kind of goes a little transparent again, and kicks his legs before he seems to remember that isn't proper and goes still.]

[Awkward silence.]

Re: ???

[telepathetically]

...


So.



Um.

Where is "here"?

Re: ???

[restorefromsave]

Um... I think I'm what they call the true heart...? Or do you mean something else...?

Re: ???

[telepathetically]

R-REALLY!?

Re: ???

[restorefromsave]

Yes?

Re: ???

[telepathetically]

But— just like that?? I got here that quickly!?

Re: ???

[restorefromsave]

I-I'm sorry, did you want to go somewhere else--?

Re: ???

[telepathetically]

N-no, I'm okay! It's— UM!?

[GRABS THE TINY'S HAND DO YOU HAVE EMPATHY TINY I AM SUPER TOUCHED RN]

Re: ???

[restorefromsave]

[Oh.]

[Oh.]

[His eyes get all watery.]

Re: ???

[telepathetically]

D-don't cry, you'll make me cry!

Re: ???

[restorefromsave]

S-sorry! Sorry!

Re: ???

[telepathetically]

Y-you don't need to apologize...!

Re: ???

[restorefromsave]

[Wahhh crying.]

Re: ???

[telepathetically]

[I WARNED YOU]

Re: ???

[restorefromsave]

[I guess we're sobbing pathetically on each other.]

[Winners!!]

Re: ???

[telepathetically]

[[can i just pick the tiny up and cry in its hair i think i will do that]

Re: ???

[restorefromsave]

[Yes you can. He clings to your shirt and sniffles and wails and his hair is super soft downy fluff.]

[He feels less than solid though.]

Re: ???

[telepathetically]

[SNIFFLES ON THE TINY ;^;]

Um... um, are you o-okay?
