Taisuke's heart

There's something humming inside of you, a strange new power etches itself into your heart, something you can't quite sense what it is but can feel it's importance. An endless sea of stars stretches before you, shining brightly, but despite the beauty of the scene there's a yearning deep in your gut. You need to go, you need more, you need to move. As if in answer, one light shines brightly in the distance and calls you forward, blinding you as you reach towards it--

[Then I will laugh and duck my head for you]

This heart is still small, but outside that door it's... Hmm, it's friendship and hopes and trying hard and stuff.

... Those sound like they'd be good things to boost.

Yeah. I... I try and keep all the bad stuff out of the way, so it won't be hard.

[:|a]

Are you sure you don't want a seed? Ah, to keep, instead of putting somewhere else? It sounds like you're really important too.

Well yes, I am important... Alright, if you think I need one, I'll take it.

I don't know about need, but it would help, right?

[holding it out!]

[Reaches for it, the seed starts glowing and there's a warm breeze that sends your hair flowing all shoujo like, uwaaa~

The wound in his chest heals.]

[u-uwaaah doki doki]

—You're not hurt anymore! So that helped?

That helped a lot!

I'm glad.

[How are you so cute]

Thank you.

[I was just born that way]

You're welcome. Ah... I guess I should keep going? You'll be okay, right?

I'll be okay. I've gotta keep an eye on the others, make sure nobody gets into trouble. I know you'll do okay.

All right. See you later.

The room you arrive in is so warm. It feels nice being here, a stark contrast to the earlier room you feel comforted. Here is safe, here is where you are loved. It's just a simple apartment, a table with the homework of three people, pens and calculators strewn across it. There are comfy looking chairs, a plate of snacks rests on an end table next to a lamp and wide open windows showing a summers day. Faintly, you can hear sirens outside, but they're so far away are they really a concern? Portraits line the walls, pictures of Citrine having their campfire, the people in the clinic tending to a patient, the knights giving out fun quests, Sapphire having an eating contest with Coral, Kunzite providing the tea, Turqoise getting themselves into trouble again, dozens of cute Aather scenes mixed in with pictures of people you might not recognise at all. Taisuke's sister, and his friends from home. There seem to be an awful lot of pictures with Taisuke getting bullied or teased by them, but more often than not he's smiling. Dozens of the picture frames are empty, blank paper inside. There's a doorway leading to another corridor at the end.

[o-oh this is a nice room ////

looking over the paintings, but... sirens is a little concerning. Looks out the window!]

[An ambulance is rushing by.]

[oh damn that's a moodkill]

An— that's not good—

[HEADING OUT INTO THE HALLWAY I can come back and boost the comfort room later]

[You walk into a shrine. Suddenly you're outside? But there are still doors around, the one you came from and one on the other side of the courtyard, slips of paper are tied to trees and over in the distance you see Fire, still in middle school, ringing a bell with his friends as they pray. After they're done, they fade away like ghosts.]

[w...watches... but if they've faded, then they're probably not whoever needed a heart-ambulance!!

crossing the courtyard!]

[No! You can't cross the courtyard without finishing your math test!]

[... what math test!! what if I skipped the lesson]

[You're sitting at your desk, the clocks ticking away, you only have half an hour left and everyone is scribbling so furiously and... And hey, you know this one!]

[--what really

awesome

IF I KNOW THE ANSWER I WILL WRITE IT DOWN *_*]

[And you now the next one too, you can probably figure out the one after that... Okay the next one is hard, but if you skip it you totally know the one after!]
