It’s A New Day | Finale

Time had passed in the waking world. Even after being awake, the students were kept in the hospital for a week, primarily for observation. Although most seemed okay, the remnants of the game were still readily evident. Phantom pains, uncertainty, anxiety, trauma. No one was safe from it.

But only so much of it could be treated by a hospital.

Nurse Fujimoto offered to bring in counselors for everyone to talk to, and even Kuroda hung around to talk to anyone who would listen. His motives satisfied, he only offered a friendly ear to anyone in earshot.

Finally that day came, the day when you all were to be discharged. One by one, Nurse Fujimoto came by to check up on you one last time.

“You’ll be alright, I know. Physically, everything’s okay. But you can get through the rest. I just know.”

“S-So… If you ever need anything, just come see me, okay? Anything at all…”

With that, the guards at the door of the ward opened the doors for you, and you worked your way out as a unit. The rest of the hospital was bustling, but your trip wasn’t too bad. Most of the paperwork was taken care of ahead of time, and your belongings were provided for you back in your rooms. Just a quick stop at the front desk in the lobby and you were free to go.

As you headed for the door, Kuroda stepped towards you.

“So that’s it, huh? Heh heh heh… You’ve got your whole lives ahead of you now. Soon this’ll all be a blip in your memories, when you’re old and stiff like me. Heh heh heh!”

Chuckling, he turned away, crossing his arms.

“Even now, I think I can rest a little easier. And so can she…”

Huh… he sounded oddly serious. But this moment of clarity was short-lived - he looked back at you, chuckling.

“Now, now, don’t listen to the rambling of an old man. Go on! Get outta here!”

With that, you said your farewells, passing through the front door to the hospital. The day was bright; sunlight beating down on you as the sweet smell of fresh air met your nose. Overwhelming sensations, but not unpleasant. Out front you saw more men in suits, complete with black cars. A short explanation told you that they were here to take you wherever you wanted to go - back to campus, to your home, anywhere.

As the time comes to depart, you turn around to look at the hospital one last time. Fujimoto waves, a bright smile on her face. Kuroda waved from inside, cigarette in hand. But standing by the doors, you think you spy some other familiar faces…

Was that Smallchan? And… Tallsan? She was waving at you, a cheerful smile on her face. Off to the side, Tallsan cast a sidelong glance at you, although there was a faint smile on his face. Were they… watching over you?

You still weren’t certain who they were, but in the end they tried to help you survive. Whoever they were, they meant well.

Would you see them again? Who knows…

Can't We All Just Get Along | Mitsuo | Re: Kuroda, Elijah, Greg, Everyone Waking Up

Honestly it was more Kuroda’s use of the term ‘head case’ that had raised Mitsuo’s ire than anything else. He’s still a little confused that Kuroda would latch onto Daisy as the prime suspect despite admittedly not having known anything about the other girls or the one they’re looking for. What had made her jump out? He almost wants to ask but he’s already halfway out the door when he hears the man’s response, and that’s confusing as well.

So many questions, and Mitsuo’s so sick of it, sick of all the confusion and the pain and the time wasted, so when Elijah yanks his hand away and speaks out sharply… he probably should’ve seen that coming, really. Mitsuo flinches, turning to stare at him with fear, oh god, please don’t be mad at him please he can’t take it.

“I didn’t- I didn’t mean… I never said we should treat her like an angel, I… I mean if she is the one responsible then I’ll be pissed at her too, I only meant…” Now Elijah is talking like they already know for certain and Mitsuo is confused again, is he missing something here? Probably.

It just doesn’t seem fair. They’ve all been through so much, they’ve all done things they regret, they’ve all made mistakes. How can they jump to condemning Daisy so quickly, without having any proof it’s her? She’s just a kid, and yes she’s fucked up but who among them isn’t at this point?

But the last thing he wants is a repeat of the second trial. If it’s a choice between defending Daisy, who for all he knows could be guilty, or losing Elijah… then it’s no choice at all.

Elijah draws their attention to the commotion suddenly going on outside though, and Mitsuo looks out at the flurry of activity in a slight daze. Someone else is waking up? Who? What? There seem to be teams of nurses going into multiple rooms… Mitsuo starts forward and overhears something, someone saying 'all of them’ or 'everyone’ or something like that.

“Holy shit.” Mitsuo is stunned, caught between shock and relief. Is that true? Are they all back? Is it finally over…? Mitsuo takes a step towards his own room, where Michi must be waiting, finally awake-! But then he stops and looks back at Elijah, Greg, and Kuroda. “Are we still going to bother with Fujimoto? Or should we just talk to the others?”

Upon returning to the Academy, Tallsan did not lead you to a room, no. Instead, he led you to one of the other doors. What was going on here? Before you knew it, you were back on the same city block, with the Train Station and the Convenience Store. He led you across the street, before stepping inside… the Comedy Emporium?

There was nothing odd about the place, it was awfully quiet now, though. He continued past the stage, through a door leading backstage. Laying on a couch backstage was…

There had been nothing heard from Smallchan and Tallsan since you last saw them running off. That was when the hell started - fears, your worst fears came to pass in this dark forest. You had your own problems to worry about, it was quite fair to say.

But eventually, the voices, the mirages, they faded. The forest fell quiet. The worst was over. As you tried to calm yourselves down and collect yourselves, you picked up on soft footsteps approaching you from behind. Turning to face this stranger, you found yourself looking up at…

Tallsan.

He was carrying the small girl in his arms. She appeared to be fast asleep, and he had a gentle smile on his face.

“It… is that time. Come. Keep your voice down, she doesn’t need to see this.”

dreamsofdxxth:

Akemi’s death had no effect on Mitsuo whatsoever. He couldn’t even feel any relief that she was gone. There was just… nothing. Like the pain over Yora’s death had completely eclipsed his ability to feel anything else. So he doesn’t ask questions, doesn’t have much reaction at all, he just continues to cling to Elijah, rarely leaving their room except for the occasional basic necessity.

For the second time, Mitsuo has made no effort to explore a new area- though this time it has nothing to do with the area itself and everything to do with the fact that he just… doesn’t care anymore. Why bother? Everything is clearly hopeless. The harder they’d all tried to fight, to believe things would be okay, the more he’d seemed to lose. He’s done. He just wants to curl up with his remaining boyfriend and wither away.

So it’s strange to think that he’d find himself wandering into the new area, still hand in hand with Elijah. Maybe it was some instinctive sense that something was about to happen- it was the right time for it, at least he thinks so. It isn’t like there’s a reliable way to track the passage of days here, but it feels like the same amount of time has passed. Another motive would be dropping soon, and Mitsuo doesn’t know what it could be, doesn’t think anything could move him at this point anyway, but out of habit if nothing else here he is to find out.

A stab of concern for Smallchan almost breathes a hint of life back into him- but then Tallsan scoops her up and away they go. No explanation. Mitsuo regrets coming already, they should head back to the room…

What’s that?

Something makes his ears prick and Mitsuo finds himself trying to catch the sound even as part of him screams not to.

Water. The soft sound of it lapping gently against concrete. As soon as he identifies it Mitsuo freezes up. No, no, no. He inhales sharply but now that he’s heard it he can’t stop hearing it. Without actually raising in volume the noise seems to be overpowering everything else. It’s familiar- too familiar, as is the sudden tang of chlorine in his nose.

“No no no,” Mitsuo’s voice is barely a whisper but the horror in his face is all too apparent. His grip on Elijah’s arm becomes vicelike and his legs wobble threateningly. “No we have to leave no no please not that…”

Please! Help me!

Mitsuo’s head whips around so fast it’s a miracle his neck doesn’t snap, and he stares with eyes like dinner plates out at the forest. Nothing. Nothing but trees and the sound of water and the smell of an over chlorinated highschool swimming pool.

Mitsuo please! You promised!

“HISAO!” Oh god no it was happening again, he was here, he couldn’t possibly be here but that was his voice it had to be it was, Mitsuo would know it anywhere even after four years. Mitsuo starts towards the sound, breath coming in sharp shallow gasps and legs barely functioning, but he tries. He has to get to him, he can’t let it happen again, not this time, not this time. 

Unwilling to even loosen his grip on Elijah, he tries to pull the other boy along with him. “W-we have to go- we have to find him…!”

In the end, your footsteps brought you back to the village, and the temple. Smallchan and Tallsan had made themselves scarce since Akemi’s body turned up once again, and you were starting to get concerned. What if something else happened and they weren’t around?

But yet again, once you passed through the area, you came upon them quick. Or more accurately, Smallchan found you.

“Y-You gotta get out of here! I-It’s on fire! E-Everything’s… a-ah…”

The poor girl, she looked frantic. She ran up to you, before tripping and falling over.

“N-No… Nooo… I-I don’t wannaa… I-I don’t wanna….! H-Heeeelp!”

She curled up into a ball, sobbing. Before you could blink, Tallsan came running up behind her, kneeling down. He was breathing hard, and his eyes were wide.

“D-Damn, I’m too late… I-It’s all… it’s all… Ngh…”

He scooped her up into his arms, quickly bolting from sight. Fire? You turned to look, but everything seemed fine. Huh… were they seeing things…?

The more you looked, though, the more things started to change. There was no fire, but… huh. Strange things were coming into view. Disturbing… things…

You hadn’t seen Smallchan or Tallsan since finding this strange new area. Even when you tried to call out to them, they did not answer. Their absence was concerning, considering recent events. What if something happened? What if someone died? What would they do?

What could you do…?

Whatever happened to them, it was all centered around that village. So you found yourself returning there, trying to make heads or tails of whatever the place was. As you approached the strange temple surrounded by trees, the first thing you saw sent shivers down your spine.

“Aaaaaaah… N-No… *hic* *sniffle*”

There she was, just sitting on the steps. Tears were streaking down her face, and she hugged herself close. Behind her, you saw the faint form of Tallsan, looking down at something else. As you started to approach, you saw…

Elijah and Mitsuo are complete and utter wrecks and it isn’t even remotely Hisakawa’s fault.  Elijah doesn’t even have the slightest inkling as to whose fault this is, so there will be no blame-placing.  In fact, Elijah flinches away when Hisakawa apologizes once more.

“D-don’t–”

He can’t even get through his usual response mantra for unnecessary apologies.

Akira blinked a little surprised at the head shake from Mitsuo and the start of a sentence from Elijah. Were… Were they not upset at him…? He was still scared- unsure what to do to help the other two calm down…

“I… I d-don’t… K-know what to… to say to… help…” he mumbled, mostly to himself.

He didn’t move however, feeling like he had to stay to help them since he caused this. His grip on Little Foot stayed tight as he tried to think of something to do, glancing around himself hoping no one comes to see this mess.

The simple fact of the matter is that there just isn’t anything Akira could say to help. Which is not his fault at all, it’s just that this isn’t something words can fix. No amount of them could bring Yora back or take away the pain of losing him. Nothing could do that.

At least the plushies are, in a way, a small comfort. Like a piece of him to hang on to, and they’re so sweet, so perfectly made, Yora would have loved them. Mitsuo feels like his heart has been dipped in acid. I wish I could say he was going to regain enough composure to speak any time soon, but he continues to be even worse off than Elijah. Honestly he’s probably going to make himself pass out soon if he continues on like this. Make this boy lay down quietly for a while. Or forever. Forever sounds good.

Elijah is only slightly more composed than Mitsuo.  He’s still sobbing, but not as intensely; he’s probably not about to make himself sick from hysterics.  He’s ‘merely’ crying uncontrollably and unlikely to respond positively to external stimuli.

He’s shaking again.  So much so that Elijah is certain that once again, Mitsuo is the only thing keeping him upright.  Elijah leans into Mitsuo’s touch as he pulls his plushie close and tries to get his sobbing under control.

Akira had a look of fright on him, stepping back a little, unsure of how he could help. This… This wasn’t going as he thought it would. He bit his lip looking down the hall to see if anyone was coming.

He looked back to the two, his grip on Little Foot tightening a little. What should he do? He had no idea what to do.

“S-Sorry…!”

So he apologized again. That always works. A+ for effort, Akira.

This entire scene is just a trainwreck. Look at these two sobbing puppies. Look at this poor frightened small baby. Akira does not deserve this he was just trying to do something nice. Please free Akira Hisakawa.

Mitsuo is completely overwhelmed here, suffering from emotional overload on multiple levels. Part of him is still upset with Akira but another part wants to thank him and the rest of him is just utterly breaking down. Mitsuo may be keeping Elijah upright but the only thing keeping him upright is probably that his legs have locked in place as some kind of defense mechanism.

He closes his eyes against the tears and shakes his head at Akira’s apology, unable to speak at the moment much less articulate any of the whirlwind feelings tearing him apart right now. I’m so sorry, Akira. I’m just. I’m so sorry.

Elijah was fully prepared to stare Hisakawa down until he got the message and left.  It was nothing personal; Elijah just didn’t want to have anything to do with anyone who wasn’t Mitsuo.  

(And, to a lesser extent, Michi.  Even Elijah couldn’t bring himself to hate xem.)

Then Hisakawa presents the remnants of the threesome with a pair of painfully familiar plushies.  Elijah takes the offered plushie with trembling hands.  His vision blurs with tears as he stares down at the likeness of his missing boyfriend.  Perfect.  It’s perfect, right down to the silly little spirals on his cheeks.

Elijah opens his mouth to thank Hisakawa, but the tears overflow at that very moment.  He presses his free hand over his mouth to supress a sob.  Oh fuck.  There he goes, showing weakness again.

Akira let the white haired male take the plush, jumping at the two’s sudden change in attitude. Both were practically hysterical now. He stepped back a little in his slight fear, his hands still shaking a bit.

“I-I’m… s-sorry…! I… I didn’t mean… t-to upset you…!” he spoke a little louder than before, reaching out to Mitsuo to try and help him.

He gently placed a hand on the taller male’s arm, obviously worried about him- though guilt still ran through the small male, having caused the reaction in the first place.

There’s no ‘practically’ about it, really. Mitsuo is suffering from full blown hysterics. The touch to his arm makes him flinch harshly, hands jerking away from his face again so he’s staring down at Akira with wide eyes that are pouring out tears. He’s so confused, everything hurts, he wants Yora back.

Again Mitsuo’s attention drops to the doll left in Akira’s arms, and with clumsy, desperate hands he finally takes it. He holds it against him with one arm, reaching for Elijah with the other, every inch of him shaking as he grips the fabric of his boyfriend’s sleeve like a lifeline. He’s still crying heavily, practically dry heaving from the force of the sobs that he can’t get control of to save his life. This boy is a mess.

Elijah was in the same boat as Mitsuo; there were very few living people that he actually wanted to see and that one person was already in the room with him.  The knock on the door, the timid voice on the other side, both of those were very unwelcome.

The explorer was tempted to yell for Hisakawa to fuck off or otherwise just not answer.  Even if the small boy returned later, he’d get the hint eventually.  But apparently Mitsuo had other ideas.  So when Mitsuo went to answer the door, Elijah got up and followed.  The sight of two scowling, irate boys would certainly be enough of a hint for the little one.

Akira jumped at how harsh the door was swung open- his heart bolting into his throat at the glares sent his way. His legs started shaking, and he could feel the tears starting to come forward.

C’mon, Hisakawa, you can do this!

He took a deep breath, blinking back the tears that threatened to fall, and prepared to talk- too bad the first noise out of him was akin to a frightened squeak.

He coughed a little, to try and get a hold of himself before trying again.

“S-Sorry… I… I j-just… w-wanted to…” he swallowed a lump that started to form as he spoke, taking another breath before continuing. “To g-give… y-you two… th-these…”

He presented the plushies of Yora to the others, one for each of them. He braced himself for more yelling, his arms obviously shaking- though he kept his grip strong, not wanting to drop the ventriloquists.

Mitsuo is fully prepared to tell Akira to fuck off- the irrational sense of betrayal over Akira’s vote blinding him to the small boy’s fear and distress- but then the plushies are held up and he freezes.

“Th-those... y-you...” Mitsuo’s composure, built on anger, folds like a cheap suit. He starts shaking almost as badly as Akira is, and it’s like the time with the Aelois plushie all over again but so much worse and he can’t breathe, can barely see through the tears that have sprung up in his eyes.

And then he bursts into wild, embarrassing sobs, pressing his hands over his face and struggling to even begin to think of how to deal with this.
