Vingt-Et-Un † myself in the reflection that i must not meet
[Action]
[1. Mayfield High - Hallways. It started after lunchtime. It's still during break while she's making her way to the faculty office, when she starts hearing things that should not be there. Eyes wide and suddenly stopping dead in her tracks, she promptly drops all the papers and folders that she was carrying in her arms. ...Well, it's more ( Read more... )

She recognizes that name. It's her own.
She recognizes that voice. It's from someone she met here.
Someone in her current present, not a ghost of the past that she's personally violated and bled like a lamb.
Someone who's afflicted with Immortality, and well understanding of the burden that it signifies.
In other words, a sliver of reality in a terrible nightmare that she can't turn away from, but also an anchor to hold onto precisely because they understood what this may be like.
Shaking, she scrambles up and tries to stand.
Where are you going?
...Ah. Is it a new plaything? If so, then make sure to greet it pr--
Gritting her teeth, she grabs her left wrist in her right hand and sends another jolt of lightning to course through her body.
Don't look a w a y.]
M-Mokou...san?
[You CA NN O T look away.]
Nngh... Please.... wait...!
[I am the SIN that you cannot era--
She has to find her now
Loud clattering can be heard from the back. She's knocking shit over ad she doesn't care; normally she'd want to hide even more, but this is the one exception that she'd embrace the chance to meet face to face now.]

At least it did help clear her head, for how brief this may be. She then quickly makes her way to the front, to see the other woman who does appear to be worse off than she is.
...
You're getting grabbed by the shoulders and shakily shaken, Mokou. Her grip isn't the most stable thing but hopefully some physical contact can bring you back here. And do please ignore the fact that her shirt is torn and bloodied all over because it is rather badly stained...]
Fujiwara-san!

She'll dig her nails in her shoulder and squeeze with considerable, enough to likely cause a yelp of pain within any average person.]

But you can hear me, right? Can... Can you see me, Mokou-san?! You're... in the Church right now! [A quick beat as she rakes her brain for the information.] This may not be your home world in Eientei, Gensokyo, but you still have friends and acquaintances, here in Mayfield!

[Her head falls to the side, and the glossy look in her eyes seems to fade.]
But I don't...live in Eientei...
[She blinks a couple of times.]
No...churches in Gensokyo...
