GRAVEYARD PT. 2 - WEEK 8, FRIDAY
Graveyard

Death has never been a pretty thing, has it? Though some of you may have seen it coming, many of you have been taken by surprise in the last moments of your life.
Fortunately for you, it's not over yet.
The last thing you may remember is dying, but upon awakening you'll find yourself in what appears to be the meeting hall. Warmed by the ever-present fire, the room is empty and the voting box appears to be missing. In its place are three large panels hanging from the walls that allow the newly dead to peer into the lives of the living.
As you step out into the village, twilight has set in over the sleepy valley casting light and shadows as far as the eye can see. The same buildings appear to be here, all in the same order and with the same amenities. The sakura trees continue to bloom, the kitchen remains well-stocked, and the bell at the shrine echos. Likewise, the river flows through the village and the four elemental regions are found at the edges of the village.
The main difference, however, is the appearance of two additional huts that you don't recognize each bearing an emblem of a sun or a moon.
Make yourself comfortable. You'll be here for a while.

... He's not human -- he's stronger. So it's not over...
[ right? Their words sound hollow, even to themself, but they can't start thinking that he'll lose. They don't know what they'll do if he loses. They can't think about it - they can't. ]
no subject
[ her voice is firm, like she actually believes what she's saying even if she doesn't.
naminé isn't sure how he can make it that long with an injury like that, at least not without medical help. ]
no subject
He's still going to fight. Cinnabar shouldn't be surprised by that, either, but they feel a deep unease, a sickness like their inclusions are shriveling up; they don't want to watch, but they can't stop. ]
Damn it...! Why can't I...
[ why can't they help? why can't they do more? why can't they ever do anything more for him? ]
no subject
[ she actually believes it a little more now, seeing him stand. she should learn not to give up when things seem hopeless... what a bad habit. ]
And then after he does, you can tell him all of this.
no subject
[ they rarely do, and certainly not from a speaker as poor as Cinnabar, who could only ever offer the most awkward of reassurances. Quicksilver brims in their eyes, catching the light as they refuse to let it fall. ]
Nothing can help.
no subject
... even if it's only a little.
