Solstice Heart

Entering into the heart, you feel a strong sense of resistance pushing you away. It’s easy enough to overcome if you push back, but it soon reverses and you’re pulled into an unfamiliar mansion.

[IRC: #truthless, heart starts at 4pm EST!]

edit: I'm a dumb and forgot to add in the LIBRARY segment: [On the left is another doorway to a staircase leading down.]

I want to be with Solstice.

[now argue with me]

Do you want to be with him so badly you'd hurt him?

[POINTED LOOK plz don't break my detective :(]

He's already hurt.

I know. But this could hurt him more.

Kaito? Or Aoko?

Eh?

[blinks, surprised, pointing to himself]

Me? I'm Kaito. Aoko's not-- she's not here right now.

[and she gets a sour look on her face, to Solstice:]

Who are you?

[He's just been kind of watching them in mild terror, guys why are you here pls just go]

[He looks at Luna after that question, shakes his head and looks down.]

[now, she's quiet and stern . . . and going to start going forward on the glass once more]

-Don't, it's too dangerous!

[Despite that and the ominous creaking, the glass seems to be holding.]

I'm not scared.

[keeps on walking]

[It doesn't take long for her to reach him. He stares up at her, afraid but relieved.]

Luna. . .

I found you.

[going to sit down near him but not touching]

. . .

[He looks down with a light scoff.]

No. . . you still haven't found me yet.

[He reaches into a pocket, wincing at the movement with the blade in his chest, and holds out a key.]

[But then this happens.]

[is tossed out onto the glass with a yell, the anxiety and fear effect from earlier spiking]

-- what the hell, lady?!

[shit shit shit this is bad this is bad this is why he wasn't walking on the glass no how does he stop this. trying to scramble to his feet and scramble over to Luna and Solstice at the same time]

Get off the glass!

[calmly watching that]

He can't move.

[reaching out for the chains attached to Solstice's wrists and legs. are they locked? can he pick those locks. . .]

[ALSO LUNA HOW ARE YOU SO CALM]

We have to free him!

[because i am a trained soldier, and we have a mission here]

He'll come free when the glass is broken.

[They are locked. You can try, but you may not have time. . .]

[Solstice takes Luna's hand and shoves the key into it, then tries to shove her toward the door but it's weak since can't move much and all]

Both of you need to get out of here, now!

[no]

[his instincts say no, that this can't be the way to help him, because this is a shitty way to help someone]

So do you!

[S. . . STUBBORN]

[nods]

We won't be hurt. Not here. [jinxjinxjinx]

[you guys!!1!]

There's no time- you have to leave me here! Take that key and go find the rest of me!

[The woman has resumed her piano playing.]

[ffffffuck]

[his grip tightens on the weight briefly, before he forces himself to release his grip]

[he reaches out to snag Luna by the arm, prepared to pull her off the glass if she won't go on her own]

How is this going to affect you?

[twisting and rotating her arm to break his grip with a frown >(]

[He gives Kaito what would be a reassuring grin if he didn't look kind of terrified]

Don't worry. I think I'll be okay.

[The cracks have nearly covered the entire floor. . .]
