@Spiritblitz

I... I don’t know. I feel numb.

@System

Well, I hate to say it, but we do have to move and get out of here. And get answers about the viruses.

*Stands up, still looking toward the gate*
I don’t know what to think anymore.

You can think later, we gotta go!
*starts running again towards the gate*

@Spiritblitz

*Follows, more dragged than running, until we reach the gate with the plaque*

@Spiritblitz

*The massive gate looms before us, stretching several stories into the sky—a lock icon on the entrance is broken, and the plaque reads "You have scaled a web of lies and stand at the curtain of ignorance. Would you like to log in? (y/n)"*
Whoever she’s talking to must have gotten here first...

@System

*frowns at the plaque then looks at the gate after a few moments, stars start to float out from my body as my expression moves more towards determination*
Tempo, in this short time a lot has been going on. I have been questioning a lot, but I know one thing. You, Tempo, are strong.
*looks to you with a warm, gentle smile that you can feel, as if your vitality increased*
And I will be here with you.

@Spiritblitz

*Meets your gaze*
I couldn’t have gotten here without you. I’m just... questioning everything. I’m afraid.

@System

Its okay to be afraid. Your world is upside down and mirrored now…but know that with your questions come answers. If anything, you might find a better avenue for your life with those answers!

@Spiritblitz

Getting there is... going to hurt a lot.

@System

It’ll hurt less with people you trust and care about you.

*Follows, opening to a room that expands infinitely to our left and right, with the paths behind us completely invisible from the other side—at the back of the room, Melody stands behind a podium with a screen facing away from us*

Why... why did you have to come too..?
