Solstice Heart

[dramatispersonae]

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.

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

It’s strange, with her gone. We didn’t always talk, and when we did I was sometimes… er, rude. But I enjoyed the times that we got along. She was always there for the team. It’s not the same without her.

[There's a beep again, but you can end the call without saying anything as well.]

[what if, for the sake of convenience, he just calls all the contacts ... without leaving messages ... to see what's said ...]

[then I have to do a lot of copypasting is what]

[Calling Kaito results in the message ENTER PIN: _ _ _ _ popping up on the screen.]

[Kira] A witch, of all things. The idea that magic- actual magic, not the stunts Kaito pulls- exists in our world is troubling, to say the least. But I wouldn’t say that to her. I may find it unnatural, but for her it’s a part of her identity. She’s a witch, and my friend. But she gets on my nerves sometimes too. Don’t talk about me like I’m some hero. I’m just one man trying to do what I can, and I make mistakes. We all do. But when I make mistakes, people die.

That time that we… that her ‘charm’ affected me. I thought that maybe, maybe I wanted to be more than friends. It was probably just the charm talking. Besides, there’s already someone I…

[Aoko] It seemed like too much of a coincidence. It still does, really. A boy who looks like me and a girl who looks like Ran, all from the same place. But Berry- Aoko is Aoko. She’s stronger than I first gave her credit for, and she’s been there for me even when I didn’t deserve it. I hope she’s doing well. I still don’t think she should be helping Kaito, but I don’t think I can talk her out of it. She’s as stubborn as he is, if not more.

[Luna] I’ve never had such a hard time understanding someone. Every time I think I’ve figured her out, she proves me wrong. Her sense of morality could use some work… but she means well. I think she’s changed again since I’ve been gone. I don’t know what she thinks of me anymore. But I care what she thinks, that much I know. I’ve lied and gone my own way for this long. I’m not a good teammate. But I want to be, for her sake.

[Eclipse] We’ve had our differences, and our similarities. I still remember when he first joined us. I thought his attitude would be good for the team. It was. I’m the one who's been messing things up.

I’m still not keen on this vigilante heroism business. But I- ha. I have faith in him, where it counts.

[Night] He’s been here the longest out of all of us here. I know it’s been hard for him, to watch the people he cares about leaving or being taken away. I think my return helped, but I didn’t have any power over that. I wish there was something more I could do.

[after a moment, he closes the phone and sets it down, leaving the room to head to cell 1.]

[It seems you missed out on a party out here; the doorframe to Cell 1 is still there but the door itself has vanished. There's a small trail of blood leading from there to Cell 2.]

Re: CELL 3

[lettersbound]

... All right.

[he heads to cell 2, then]
