WEEK 7.

[trustwellness]

WEEK 7 Oerba Dia Vanille, Phi, and Gangrel have joined the deceased, dropping your number even further. This is the second week that the death toll has risen by three, just by way of murder alone. With well over half of your number deceased, how much longer can this go on? Saturday is given to regrouping and rest; on Sunday morning the clock chimes as it always has, but at least there are no bodies to find today. It seems you're safe for now. The night before wasn't necessarily a peaceful one, however; you'll probably feel a bit groggy when you wake up, and it seems you've regained something that you didn't realize you'd lost... As before, it seems that door at the bottom of the stairwell has been unlocked, allowing you to descend even further into the depths of the university; perhaps the new floor holds something promising for you. Or perhaps you'll "christen" this one with another murder. Given the current pattern, that probably wouldn't be a surprise. APPRENTICES REMAINING: 12

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[foundfate]

...no? I want to live anyway.

[Well perhaps it could be looked at in that way, but he certainly doesn't see it like that.]

[matchbreaker]

But that isn't your wish.

[ Her eye narrows. This mood is suddenly very different. ]

[foundfate]

No, but my wish is for her not to disappear. So I'll keep living, until I see her again.

1/2

[matchbreaker]

[ . . . ]

[matchbreaker]

... Your reincarnation thing, right? You intend to see her soul's new vessel.

[foundfate]

...yes.

[There's no point in denying it.]

I doubt even she has enough magic to bring herself back to life, so it would have to be reincarnation.

[matchbreaker]

That won't be her.

[ If she understand it correctly. ]

[foundfate]

It won't be the same 'her', but it will still be 'her'. And just knowing that she's alive and living a good life, that's enough for me. She...I owe her everything.

[matchbreaker]

[ Humans might be alarmed by that. He's right that a lot of his friends would probably try to talk him out of it. Hell, those who heard him before probably already have swore they'll allow him to go back to "normal."

To Elda Marker...

She respects his resolve and has a different enough perspective to instead ask: ]

Will it be decades, or centuries?

[foundfate]

Given that at least a century has already passed- [He's assuming so, he's only at the very start of those 100 years memory-wise.] -I'm betting centuries. Not necessarily for her to be reborn, but for her to be reborn in just the right place at just the right time to find the shop. She might go through more than one lifetime before I see her again.

[matchbreaker]

[ wow, that's- ]

... Yeesh. If she isn't family, I feel bad for Orihime. That's some stiff competition.

[foundfate]

[Well that's kind of awkward.]

We're not blood-related, but what I feel for her is closer to what I would feel for a mother, not for a girlfriend.

[matchbreaker]

[ Look, what else is she supposed to think?

... But she nods. She nods, and then glances around the hall. She sees no one there, and leans in. She needs to yank him down by the collar, given their height difference. And she whispers: ]

I can visit you, every ten years, once we're out of here. Call it a wish.

[ It's not quite gentle, but it is...

Well, in her mind at least, it's affirming ]

[foundfate]

[Well that's surprising, to say the least.

He is definitely yanked down, he doesn't even try to fight it, especially not after hearing that wish.]

That's really what you want? When you could wish for literally anything?

[matchbreaker]

Oh, I didn't realize I was limited to one. [ . . . Elda is too selfish for this. But she laughs, still holding him, still whispering. ]

That said, other than being able to hop worlds, what I wanted to wish for in the first place... Well, one of them no longer is a problem.

[foundfate]

[...oh you. That actually gets a smile out of him. A real smile at that.]

You know, the price to hop worlds is pretty expensive.

[matchbreaker]

I only need to move between two. Hell, I might only need a one-way, if Hanyuu's powers get stronger.

[ Namely, to get to his. ]

[foundfate]

Hanyuu? What do her powers have to do with this?

[matchbreaker]

She can move between dimensions.

And we're both from dimensions, right? So I can use her, not you, for at least some of it.

[foundfate]

It sounds to me like you're trying to get out of paying for a wish.

[He's teasing her here.]

[matchbreaker]

Well, who doesn't like discounts?

[ HAHAHA.

HA.

she lets go of his neck, but she keeps whispering so she sort of hopes he crouches. ]

[foundfate]

[Wow rude, keeping him leaned over like that to listen.

But yeah he's going to have to crouch eventually, leaning over like that hurts his back.]

Be careful with those discounts. Even if you're not paying the price, someone is.

[matchbreaker]

But as long as it's not someone I care about, it's no consequence of mine.
