[center][b][color=6ecff6]MARY BETH[/color][/b] [/center] [hr] Pale hands wrung together, a harsh sigh forming in the air. A girl walking along a spiraling path, towards an unreachable center. The time has already been forgotten. [color=6ecff6]"Impermissible. Impermissible."[/color] Ignore the World. Ignore the Self. Ignore the relation between the two, the line drawn between subjectivity and intersubjectivity. Ignore the notion of "is" and "is not". Ignore everything about this damnable firmament. Ignore the cackling shade, endlessly pursuing its own premise. Ignore the fool, drunken on frenzy, seeking to crush the premise of others. Rather, only one thing should be focused on. Only one thing should be given heed. That is, of course, this transcendent rule. In all realities, this rule is ironclad. This is why the World can be ignored, as which World it is does not matter. This is why the Self can be ignored, as the conclusion was obvious from its first premise. And that is why, that is precisely why this was always the only possible conclusion. A child glowing with transient light, wreathed in dreams and fears. Too weak. Weak to the point of hilarity. Weak to the point of collapse for weakness. For now you'll be shown something that surpasses that flickering light of yours, ready to fade at the slightest gust of wind. Now you'll be shown something that surpasses that "God" you imbue into this World. The walk along the spiral path stops, a curtain call without cause. No, that is wrong. After all, it has perfect cause. The reason is simple: The one who dared to crush that law has been found. [hr] Her expression seething, utterly disengaged as to whether or not Kei was following her with her bag, Mary lifted a hand and pointed a finger at the lecherous Julia. In that moment, a [color=6ecff6]「Heaven-Sundering Declaration」[/color] was issued, the very basis of reality shuddering under the strain of allowing its production. [color=6ecff6]"「Curse-Woven Impostor」! Deliver royalties to me or face the consequences!"[/color]
