♔ SECOND LAW || BACKDATED TO THE FIRST

[refutavi]

[There’s a quietness you may notice, when the feed starts. An emptiness. Before the video sits both the King and Queen on their own respective thrones, faces grim and stern. Behind her mask, the Queen lays a hand on the King’s, looking over to him gently before they both nod and begin speaking- the Queen by voice, the King by Teneka.]

Wait, what's going on? What I do you mean wake up?

And people...people were killed?

[ Smiles. ] You woke up from your dream. You're home now.

[ Her smile fades, however, at the question. ] While you slept, a dangerous man escaped and set creatures on the city. He was recaptured, and while measures were taken to protect the citizens, the creatures he set on the city killed some of them. But never fear; they will return soon.

I woke...

You mean Kinkan Town was a dream? Mytho, Fakir, Rue...?

[She laughs a little.]

No way! That's ridiculous. There's no way I could dream all of that up.

[dissimulavi]

It may seem ridiculous, Ahiru, but it is true. Others from your dream may wake up and return to reality as well, when they are ready.

How do you know my name!?

[dissimulavi]

You are a citizen of this city.

[There is a pause as the King blinks, and then smiles warmly.]

Ah, you are one of the newly awoken. Welcome home.

Yes, unfortunately. A prisoner escaped from the Unnatural and cause damage to the city. Most were kept safe indoors, but some were not as lucky, despite our best efforts to reach them. They will be returned soon enough, as they were before the incident happened.

...Returned?

But how can someone return if they're...dead?
