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.

Cinnabar's head whips around. There's no relief or gratitude there (why should there be? they hold no fondness for him), but desperation is written in glaring letters. ]
I -- [ they stumble, then continue, trying to make their voice louder. ] I need to go back! Send me back...!
no subject
I can't. So don't ask. [It's maybe a little harsh, but...well. They still have a mission to do, even if things are going awry.]
no subject
But... Shess is...
no subject
...what would Jiji say in a time like this?]
...Cinnabar. Do you believe in Shess?

So...I can't let you go back, but you have to believe that what's happening is what's supposed to happen right now.

[ they grip their fists, nervous, frustrated. ]
... He's going to die... If he dies, what am I supposed to do?
no subject
...there's always a path things will follow. You have to trust him.
