Game 50 • Ayame's Heart

The air here is cool, and the grass under your feet is slightly damp. You can hear birds singing in the distance, but you can't tell where the sound is coming from. This appears to be some sort of forest clearing; there are trees all around you, but the area you're in is flat— the trees and dense shrubs have been stripped completely bare. There are two buildings off in the distance, past a thin line of trees.

The buildings appear unremarkable, set equidistant from each other and the clearing. If you listen, under the birdsong, you can hear the faint sound of bells coming from the one on the right.

If you turn around to face the other side, you can also see a dense, dark path through the underbrush. You cannot see what the path leads to.

I'm not sure, I--I picked up this feather, and you appeared . . .

Rabbit-san's teammate said he thinks these represent people who've died--who Coral let die . . .

Don't be stupid, I'm not dead.

Well, that's true . . . and I can't really claim to know anything about what he's talking about, but since this is Aather, I thought it might be possible.

If I were dead, I wouldn't be talking to you now.

Yes, but people don't stay dead here, usually . . . don't you remember that?

Tch. I suppose if you want to put it that way.

It does sound a little strange to me, too, whenever I hear it or say it.

Oh, and--let me help you out of those ropes! I'm sorry, I should've done that first.

[looks blank.] What ropes?

Eh? The ones you're tied in . . . *Tryin' to pull at them!*

Ow! What the hell are you doing?!

Ah--I'm sorry! The ropes, I was trying to untie them, but . . .

There are no ropes! Stop that!

I can see them clearly, but if it hurts, I'll stop. Speaking of which . . . are you feeling all right? You're bleeding . . .

[He is in fact bleeding from his lip, his ear, his chest (right over the heart), his stomach, and all down his back in two lines.]

I'm perfectly fine.

But you're bleeding so much . . . ! Can you not see that, either? *Looking around for things that might be used as bandages* *spots the sheets*

*. . . this is a strange moral dilemma . . .*

I'm not bleeding, dammit! I'm fine!

You can't see it--so I guess you can't feel it, either . . . all right. If you're sure.

*Looks down at the feather he sprang out of . . .*

I guess I should ask . . . do you know Rabbit-san? When we came in here, you warned us not to mess anything up. You seemed . . . protective.

Of course I know Rabbit. Would I be here, otherwise?

Well, that's true. Maybe I was reading too much into it, but I was wondering if you were a friend of hers from before Aather, maybe.

Of course I was.

I wonder why you look like this here . . . and why you can't tell. *This is a hella worrying thought, man*

Oi. I look perfectly normal.

. . . Have you actually seen yourself, though?

*This is a longshot, but she's pointing him towards the mirror so he can see his reflection*

[looks in the mirror.]

Yyyep, still fine.

*Sigh, thought so*

Well . . . sorry, this must be confusing for you. But that really is what I see when I look at you--you tied up, and bleeding from several injuries.
