interlude snack; nothing will reach her any longer.

[ In this dream you might find yourself in a big church, so big that the size might just overwhelm you for a moment before you can orient yourself. The church walls are lined with neat black brick rows, and the floor paved with similar grey tiles. Beyond the big stained glass windows on the wall a red light - perhaps the setting sun - seems to burn

[ As nervous as Rock was about his surroundings, not even he could keep his guard up as the volume of the music continued to rise. If anything, it was starting to physically hurt, his hands coming up to his ears as he tried to muffle it out. He even opened his mouth to ask Kyouko where the music was coming from, but the words died in his mouth when he saw it.

The statue. The way it was regaining color. The way it raised its sword.

And then the wheels falling right in front of him.

It jarred him enough that he couldn't help but lose his footing and fall on his rear as it all happened, music momentarily forgotten as his wide eyes simply watched the spot where Kyouko had been standing. And for a couple of seconds, he didn't actually say anything. He just... watched. And then it started to hit him. ]

K-Ky... [ He had to gulp down the lump in his throat, his mouth suddenly feeling completely dry. ] ... Ky..ouko...?

[ And then she suddenly appeared before him. As if nothing had happened. As if that one blink of light had made everything go back to the way it'd been when he walked in, down to the music being at a low volume. ]

W-What just...

Huh?

[ She raises an eyebrow at him, looking genuinely curious. ]

Hey, what are you sitting around on your bum for? This isn't really a place to just go sit down quietly, y'know!

[ Considering her attitude is just as usual, it's likely she doesn't even remember what just happened. ]

[ For a second, he couldn't help but simply blink at her attitude, genuinely dumbfounded by what he was hearing. Was she seriously acting like nothing had even happened? Why? Did she even realize what happened? Or did it happen too fast for her to notice? But if that was the case, then how did she come back? Or did she?

Did it even happen to begin with? Or was it all just a figment of his imagination? ... No. He wouldn't have imagined something like that. Kyouko dying like that, crushed before his very eyes... he would never have imagined something like that. ]

I-I... [ Whatever he planned to say, it died at the tip of his tongue, his mind still too jarred to actually form any sort of coherent sentence. ] ... You're.. okay?

[selfished]

I'm feeling just fine.. [ And with her tone it's easy to tell she's a bit confused by his behaviour, really. ]

What's up with you, either way? Did you hit your head or whatever? There's nothing here that would make me not okay, right?

[ The giant statue behind her looms over them, but it's still just like what it was in the beginning - just a statue, the stone cold to the touch. ]
