TEN. ✿ || [Video;] [Backdated to much earlier today]

[bufudynes]

[Mitsuru's kneeling next to her father's body, clinging to his eyepatch and shaking slightly. She can't seem to move, it's a miracle she can remember how to breath. All she can do is look at his lifeless body, fighting desperately to keep her tears back. There are other people there, figures that can't quite be made out, they're crowded around her

Mitsuru!! [And he's off. He has no idea where she's at, where this weird crap is possibly happening. He's just hoping he'll know it when he sees it.]

Mitsuru! Whatever's going on, it's not real! You have to hear me! It's just like at the hotel! It's not real, Mitsuru!!

[His rambling continues, his insistence that none of this is real, in various ways.]

[bufudynes]

[Now he can see her and the others tied to crosses, having been knocked out by Aigis. She's opening her eyes slowly and sees her father struggling with Ikutsuki.] F-father!

[tobestronger]

Mitsuru!! Can you hear me?!?

[bufudynes]

[She blinks, almost like she recognizes something, but then she turns away to look back at the scene unfolding below her with her father. She struggles against the chains, trying desperately to get out and to him.]

[He's confused by much of what he sees unfold, except that an obviously insane man is threatening to sacrifice them, and then...the one-eyed man must be her father...]

Mitsuru...I am sorry...

| Video; |

[bufudynes]

[She doesn't make any indication that she's heard him, instead she just struggles against the chains that are holding her up to the cross.]

Father!

[doesnotbrood]

[His heart goes out to her, but he doesn't really know what to do.

But he does know one thing. This place is much like the Fade.]

Mitsuru. You must hear me. This is not real. It is not happening.

[bufudynes]

[She blinks, the voice sounds familiar but...] Father? [The sound of a gun being fired can be heard and she flinches.]

[evokemydread]

Senpai!

[Where ever she is, Minato's trying to find her.]

Can you hear me?

[Video]

[bufudynes]

[The scene has repeated through completely, leading back to the part with her kneeling next to her father's body. She doesn't look up and doesn't even seem to have heard that he's spoken. She just keeps looking at the body.]

[Video]

[evokemydread]

[He looks back at the screen from time to time while searching.]

Mitsuru-senpai, Arisato's speaking!

[Video]

[bufudynes]

[She blinks, almost like she's heard something, but she's not sure what. She goes back to looking at the body, like she's in some sort of trance.]

[weaktobullets]

[This-- so that was what happened after his death? Watching it, knowing it, felt almost like swallowing ice. This was all wrong.]

--Mitsuru... [--he shook his head, speaking more sharply.] Mitsuru, where are you?!

[Video;]

[bufudynes]

[She's kneeling in front of her father's body again, she's clinging to the eyepatch and refusing to look up. If she moves at all she's afraid she'll start crying and she can't do that. She has to be strong.]

[Video;]

[weaktobullets]

[And a quiet curse-- obviously she wasn't really there-- But where had he seen her last? He'd start looking through the house before moving from there, keeping the PDA on all the while.]

Mitsuru, answer. [Maybe she could-- respond, who knew. He was still trying to figure out how all this worked.]

[Video;]

[bufudynes]

[She looks around, almost like she heard something, and then goes bak to leaning aginst her father's body.]

One time, my fahter made a promise. He swore that he would atone for endangering our generation even if it cost him his life...
