Adventure. Like the one Bixing and the others went. 'Cept this one was borrowed from Harrow and Gideon's world. And it was less puzzle and more... ritual. We saw people we knew from our world. Had to kill them, or die.
I killed mine. But it didn't change anything -- Hunter and Itto's souls were absorbed by their loved ones', and I absorbed mine. That's why they looked different, and I didn't.

...I think it was set up so that no matter what we did, it would follow the memory. I know I said we had autonomy, but only so much?
There was an enemy we had to fight at the end, which we could because we were more powerful after having our souls merged. But she was kind of like... an event. We didn't get to see whoever was behind all of it.

Smart.

Well. For now; you might want to lock that in a few hours in case someone decides to go for a third week in a row here.
[ which is starting to feel like more like an inevitability than anything. ]

Lavi straightens, is there relief on his face? There might be, a little. The sort of relief that comes when you don't feel a need to perform,]

[ hm. don't like that. ]
I suppose you all chose "die", from the look of things.

So how did you end up like this? Did that person put up a fight, or did you all just disappoint whoever was running the thing?
