'Through me you enter into the city of woes
Through me you enter into eternal pain,
Through me you enter the population of loss.

Abandon all hope, you who enter here.'

It's reminiscent, isn't it?

It is the truth here.. until a simple pleasure distracts the pain. The joy will overcome it for hours, days, while the darkness waits.

Though I am

And in which level do you reside?

[satsujin_ai]

Oh I consider myself a free agent, thus far.

[ys_cant_die]

That's not playing by the rules.

I would be a bleeding tree.

[satsujin_ai]

I might have guessed..

Yet you live, child.

[ys_cant_die]

You must be one of those clever cheaters, who doesn't get caught...

Unfortunately.

[satsujin_ai]

Oh, do you believe so? It's true so far.

This is simple enough to change.. though you would only return to life.

[ys_cant_die]

I could tell.

That doesn't change anything!

[satsujin_ai]

Nothing lasts..

I could take your life, if you wish.

[ys_cant_die]

You can't promise me I won't come back.

[satsujin_ai]

Is this what you dislike..? The process of return.

[ys_cant_die]

I despise it.

[satsujin_ai]

You wish for true death, then?

I cannot give it to you. This place will not allow.. but if you'd like, I could give you its best imitation, in whatever form you wish.

[ys_cant_die]

Which form would you choose?

[satsujin_ai]

Oh, I'd have to think about it.

Would you like it to last..? Or would you like quickness, mercy for yourself?

[ys_cant_die]

No mercy; that would be appreciated.

[satsujin_ai]

May I ask the reason for your choice?
