EPILOGUE

As the world they've been living in so long quickly dissolves around them, the oppressive air from the Gate fades away from their senses and their vision turns turns completely white. It only takes an instant for their sight to return, but when it does, they'll find themselves in the same dim, dank chamber that they were in a moment before albeit with several main differences: the Gate and the machines that were clustered near it are now gone.

However, you'll only be able to take in this sight for a few seconds before the scenery blurs and suddenly there's the scent of the cool December air brushing past your face, blinding sunlight assaulting the eyes.

It's been six weeks since you've seen anything but the night, so it may take a bit of adjustment before realizing that there's a number of very, very familiar faces before you, as well as one who might not be so recognizable. Either way, one thing is for sure: that long, long Night is over, and it's the start of another Day.

Witamy w Krakowie.

[[Everyone will find themselves in the Main Square. Furthermore, those who had body horror will find that all traces of it are gone!]]

Lucrezia named me after a rival who once spurned her. My master before that... after his pet dog. Given than he was eleven when our contract was established, his childishness was to be expected. [ His taste is bad usually. But hey this is a step up! ]

[bawcock]

[ But is it a step up in taste? That's what matters. He's not too sure what to think of Rembrandt contracting with kids but, demons will be demons? Age is but a number to them. ]

I'm starting to think you don't have the best luck with contractors. But—why a kid? Actually, why Lucrezia? Or even me? There has to be more to it than someone's conviction.

[hors_devores]

[ He smiles. ]

There is. In regards to my young master...he was willing to sacrifice everything to get revenge on those who murdered his family, no price was ever to high until suddenly it was. I spent two years employed in his service, but in the end he gave up when it became too difficult.

Lucrezia...well, it was largely an impulse, given that she was the type of soul I enjoyed eating in my youth. Nowadays, I find them dull and boring even still. As for you... [ Guess who's invading your personal space? This isn't any branch and there's a height difference going on, but he's going to playfully touch Erik's cheek. Or try to, anyway. ]

That's a secret, for now~.

[bawcock]

[ ... man, that poor kid. Things were never sunshine and roses for Erik, but he had one thing that kept him going. One person, and that meant the world to him. If he didn't have Mia, he has no idea how he would have turned out.

He breathes in and nods. He also reaches up and touches Sebrant's hand and holds it there. ]

A secret, eh? I don't mind not knowing, but I guess you see a little of that same conviction in me. I don't know if you're imagining things or not, but... If you can actually pull this off, then you have no idea what it'll mean to me. [ He gives the guy's hand a squeeze before pulling it away from his cheek. Honestly? Gonna be completely worth the cost. ]

Oh, and when you meet my sister? You might want to knock it off with the roses and the weird touching. I don't think either of us wants to hear her asking what we mean to each other.

[hors_devores]

[ .........this is not what was supposed to happen, and his face shows it. He's catching as many flies as he had eyes not too long ago. Just like the rose and all of his invasion of privacy so far, he did this to get a response. But this wasn't the one he was aiming for!!!

He lets his hand drop and blinks, clearing his throat. ]

As I said the other day, you would know if I fancied you, and devils have no use for relationships like humans do regardless. [ Hm maybe he can save this awkward train. Oh and the roses will continue because they remind him of Ciel(?) so too bad, but getting him to admit as much is difficult. ]

What will you be telling her?

[bawcock]

[ See, this is why it's dangerous to be affectionate, Sebrant. Your sarcastic touches aren't going to work on him! Because despite the soul-eating, which he hates, he actually does think of him as a friend.

Also, helping Mia really does mean everything to him. Having to eventually leave her is... honestly, it breaks his heart. But he needs her back. ]

Don't worry, when it comes to romance you and me share the same boat. Especially now. [ He was never too interested in relationships before but, now? Nah. Though he would be flattered if someone were interested. ]

And I think I'll just tell her the truth—the two of us share an unbreakable bond! As partners-in-crime, of course.

[hors_devores]

[ #mistakes. ]

Partners in crime...that may be a new role, even for me. I shall have to change my appearance to match.
