❧ 009 ❧ Audio
[Having died again, Sandrath was without his memories once more. He didn't understand why he felt so strange and sick in his current body. Unlike the previous time, he did not flee from his room. He was distracted by the candle that was lit in his room and the endless darkness that surrounded him

San?
What do you mean, a test? Are you well? You are by some source of light, yes?
[There is worry in Aara's expression. Light fear in her eyes, but now her gaze burns with worry for her friend, and unanswered questions.]

Y-Yes... I am... fine and by... some 'light'.
[He pauses for a moment. Contemplating that the darkness around him and the cut-off from above wasn't a part of a text.]

You are certain?
[She certainly seems doubtful, though she doesn't want to worry him with her tone.]
Please stay by light--or fire--until the darkness lifts. Bad things will happen, otherwise. I think people have... disappeared.
What do you mean, a test? It is not something anyone here should expect. It will be over soon, but...

I do not see how it can be. This is not what you would expect, Sandrath. It is something else entirely. This place is... something else entirely, let alone the odd occurrences that come with it.
[Suddenly Aara realizes why this feels so wrong to her. He is asking questions as if he has no memories of this place. Her heart plummets.]
San--oh. You have company, then? Someone you trust?
Reply
I heard the same thing from the woman... staying with me at the moment. I do not know her.
[For now.]

I am sure you have friends here, though. At a time like this, it is best to have at lease one friend at your side.
[Worried Aara is worried.]
