week six afterparty ★ i will expose this heart to you

[excavated]

Mixed feelings rang in the air at the end of the long, long trial - four people have been lost. But in their places, three people returned to their number, as living pieces to play the game once again. While the Witch of Misfortune had said that after this, there would no longer be any more murders, that didn't change the complicated emotions that was brought to the table.🗈

Now, the group was left to their own devices - with the two Witches having disappeared in dark fire and sakura petals along with Natsuno and Shadow no longer to be found along in the mansion. Now the question was this: what would they all do from here?

There was still hope. The execution that Nirrti had done was one that was gentler than the ones that had been committed by the pieces the past two weeks.

And while Tsubasa still held many uncertainties, given that he had done murdered for the sake of someone important to him, that did not change the determination that he had for everyone. Not just those that were alive. But those that had died as well. He wasn't simply going to let the sacrifices go in vain, or that he was brought back.

At the very least, he had to make up and own his mistakes.

Which is why, a little later on, people might find a letter slid under their doors, saying:

To the one who might read this:

There is still a lot to be done and a lot to be said, but there's only a little while longer until we can make it through. I believe that we'll be able to reach to her and change the future so that we will have a happy ending.

You don't need to speak to me if you wouldn't want to, but if you'd like to eat, food will be provided in the dining room if you'd like to not be alone. Nobody deserves that. As always, don't force yourself to come if you don't want to.

- Syaoran

And just as the letter says, food will be provided - while there does seem to be a lot of comfort foods, there are also tacos, along with tempura and inari sushi.

[ ....okay back up a sec ]

Syaoran's? Is that...why everyone was calling you Tsubasa? Admittedly, I just sort of followed along, since you seem to be preferring that name now.

[excavated]

Um.

Tsubasa is my true name. It's also Kimihiro's. [ just so you know ] I went by Syaoran because having people know my true name means that they can control me. That's why my father gave me that name - Syaoran - to protect me.

[ ..........................she officially doesn't understand clamp

like she understands what he's saying, servants do the true name stuff and all that

but also she doesn't understand clamp ]

...I don't mind calling you that, but Watanuki-kun won't expect me to start calling him that, will he? Not that I wouldn't if he asked, but.

[ because that's going to get weird and confusing really fucking fast ]

[excavated]

Ah, no, probably not... I've never called him by it, and I think he would never use it himself. I think if you really wanted to make him happy, just calling him 'Kimihiro' is fine.

I think he'd let you if you ask him.

[respring]

[ ........! ]

Should...should I ask him?

[ this is a strange scenario for Sakura "Calls Shirou 'Senpai' After Two Years of Dating Him" Matou ]

[excavated]

Yeah, you definitely should.

[ He's helping - or at least, he thinks that he is. ]

I'm sure he'd be really happy about it.

[respring]

O-Okay, if you think he'd like it.

[ syaoran are you a love guru for one specific person now ]

[excavated]

[ Well, he is technically the one who created Kimihiro, so.

Yes, actually? ]

If he doesn't, you can yell at me about it.
