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.]

[YEP! As soon as the glass breaks, SHIELD IS UP ACROSS THE FLOOR.] Hurry! [You got a few seconds you two.]

[The last weight was around his ankle, so that would've been bad if not for sudden shield. He uses that brief time to cut the last chain and climb on. sword, skateboard, same difference]

Go!

[Exactly! Let's fly this thing back to the safe space, then.]

[After Kozue flies out of the room with Solstice in tow, the door shuts and vanishes completely, leading a doorframe with an empty section of wall inside. If anyone was watching, they would have caught a glimpse of the woman smiling.]

[Solstice stumbles off the sword and onto his butt, still bloody and still with a blade stuck through his heart, but well, you saved him, good job???]

....so which part of Solstice are you and can we get that blade out without anyone dying?

[. . . Kaito was watching, and that just makes him frown again]

. . . do you know what we did?

[stepping forward to examine that sword, to]

[Well that's good, because I'm going to have to unsummon the thing now. Uuugh, I probably shouldn't have pushed myself so hard. Still, it was worth it.]

We saved a part of himself he wanted to get rid of, right? But just getting rid of things doesn't actually help anything.

[coming to sit near him]

Solstice . . .

Ow. . .

[That's mostly from falling on his butt, but when he sees Kaito come close he grabs the hilt of the blade, holding it in place (even as doing so makes him grimace).]

Don't. Taking me out of there was risky enough, I'm not letting you take this out.

[. . . pulls back]

Risky how? What did we change?

[why was that woman smiling]

You do seem to not be thinking of your own good.

If you don't tell us, we'll have to assume that's continuing.

You won't die?

That's where he's always kept. . . guilt and fear. But without me there. . .

[well. looks at where the door used to be.]

. . .

[shit]

[lifts a hand to scrub at his face]

. . . were you keeping it from getting out of hand?

Or were you the one who suffered the punishments he wanted to give himself?

[rude, kira]

I can't say for certain. I've been in there a long time.

[I KNOW YOU BOYS.]

Well, considering the LAST guilt room I went into and how very much not in control of his guilt Solstice is...

What does the sword do?

. . . oi oi.

[Kira. . .]

[oi oi]

[still not taking his hand off the hilt, at any rate]

It's guilt.

[stern with a serious tiny face:] You won't die?

Not like this, no.

Okay . . .

[slapping him hard across the head before petting his hair]

Come on, we have to find Solstice.

[kjsdfh ow]

. . . You're taking me with you?

[also you probably have blood on your hand now, sorry about that]

[#kanyeshrug, offering him a hand up]

Yes. I want to.

[hesitantly takes it, eyeing the door to cell 2 warily]

I'm not sure if that's a good idea, but. . .

[like I was even able to get you guys to stop saving me, gosh]
