dramatispersonae

PERIDOT

You're standing together on what seems to be the main street of a small village, paved with cobblestones, with low buildings standing silent on either side. If you look in any of them, you'll find them dark and empty.

In contrast to the Ring, it's rather chilly. The sky is slate-grey, and it seems like there's snow falling, blanketing you and the village in pure white. On closer inspection, the snow turns out to be ash – but the bleaching is literal. Even when you brush it off, your skin, your hair, your clothes, and your keys remain ash-coloured.

A single, feeble light flickers further down the street.

[ I'm also filled with impotent rage but now my tears have dried, so what if I just. Vent this rage. By pulling you into a big hug!?! ]

Even though you weren't meant to be the one who took that... that was really brave! We'll make it up to you for sure!

[BUT I . . . I AM SO ALONE. THE WORLD IS BLACK. LIKE MY FEELINGS. Obviously this has to be some kind of fake put on!!

p. puts a hand on Mirage's head]

You don't need to lie to me . . .

[ What if I take that hand and hold it. ]

I'm not lying! I'm really, really, mad. But I'm not lying to you!

[I DON'T BELIEVE YOOOOUUUU]

It's okay . . .

It's not okay at all! You shouldn't feel like you're responsible or anything.

[what if I just start crying]

[ I am here for you! Brushing them away for you! And Rose isn't because she sucks. ]

It's okay!

Why are you being so ni-i-iiiice?

You're already my precious comrade, after all! We're in the same situation.

But I'm so useleeeeesssssss

You're better than some people.

I know I'm the worst . . .

That's just the status effect talking. You barely know anything about yourself!

[ And man the rage is really helped when the person in question is now absent, just saying. ]
