WEEK 3 - NIGHTSHADE

[foundationmods]

Finally, the whole truth of this affair had come out.

The Witch they had known as Yuuko was actually Nirrti, the Witch of Misfortune.
And Watanuki was actually the real Witch of Dimensions, as the two of them fought over the power that title brought, as well as the name and identity of a long dead woman...🗈

Though things had finally changed, perhaps it wouldn't be for the better. Nirrti herself seemed much different than how she was before, and Watanuki was the one who had brought all of them here...with that in mind, it was hard to tell how their future would shake out...

However, it wasn't all bad. A few more places were open to them, the second floor becoming a much more inviting place to be, and there was still everything they had gotten used to before. And now, they all knew that Nirrti's promises were nothing but empty air...

...or, perhaps, now they would merely change.

I've told some of the others. I might as well tell you, too.

[Erhard sighs softly.]

I was imprisoned at sixteen for bioterrorism. The FBI says I unleashed a biological agent at a college campus and killed a lot of people. I'm supposed to serve 250 years, Akira. Without the Foundation, I'm dead or worse.

[ He stares for a long while... ]

... But... you don't remember doing that?

[cryosurgeon]

No. I was found unconscious at the scene, the only survivor. I also have the necessary scientific background to create and handle biological agents, like viruses or bacteria. I was the only one with those qualifications on campus at the time. It was logical for them to accuse me.

[ His expression dims quite a bit... ]

... But still fucked up.

[ There's a clenching of his teeth after he says that. He looks away. ]

Mine isn't... nearly that bad, but I went through something similar, not long before I wound up with the Foundation. It's the whole reason I spent my birthday getting shipped off to Tokyo, with an assault charge wrongfully attached to my name.
