Early heart run.

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.

"I am the bishop."

... the bishop, huh? But you're Sion, too.

He shrugs at the distinction.

"Why are you destroying things?"

I... well, I went in and it seemed... really bad in there. I thought... I should do something to fix it, and when I touched the memories on the altar it was just too much so I thought it had to be suffocating you, right? And I set it on fire... but...

[looks down, ashamed]

I screwed up, didn't I?

"I cannot say."

[coughs again, and then remembers the window, so goes to find it and open it]

How come?

The room starts to air out a little.

"I do not know what it will do."

Is there anything I can do to fix it a little, or clean it up?

[peers into the closet]

The altar is merrily ablaze along with the items on it. The walls are still covered in pictures and that awful headache inducing noise and scene.

"I thought it was fine as it was."

N... no. No, even if I shouldn't have burned the table, that whole scene is really fucked up. It's not healthy, for you or Kazuki.

[sighs]

Besides, it's on fire and even if I put the fire out it's still gonna be burnt. Do you know how I get to one of those command things?

"I see nothing wrong with it."

He shrugs and waves a hand. The menu from Heliodor opens.

Thanks.

[types "bucket of water"]

Are you sure you're not hurt? You're bleeding...

"I am unharmed."

A bucket of water materializes!

Is it because of Mira, then? She did something to you, I know...

[takes the bucket and goes to douse the fire]

"Love has been corrupted."

The fire goes out with more smoke. It's a bit of a soggy mess now. And that noise is awful :(

[ughhhhh]

Love, huh... well, the rest of the place seems okay, except this closet. That damn noise is driving me crazy.

He shrugs. "It's an error warning."

No shit. Dammit... would it be okay if I tore this place up and then fixed it? 'Cause I think this is the corruption.

"This has always been here."

Well, what else could the corruption be?

He shrugs. "The wall has not always been a display. But the rest has always been here."

Okay, well... let's deal with that first.

[heading into the closet to touch the wall with the video display]

The wall is solid but the display is holographic. Touching it however means you're living the scenes it's playing, viscerally.

[swears and draws his hand away quickly]

Where the hell is it projecting from?

[looking around for a projector]

No projector. The walls are just covered in Kazuki pictures....
