[CONTINUE + 3] INTRO

[foundationmods]

[After so long a trip, you're all finally here. Taken through a hidden passage inside of the very mountain itself, you find yourself standing in front of a field of flowers, growing well due to the open roof above it. If you look up, you can just make out the shimmering colors off of the barrier - looking almost like the shine off of a soap bubble.

Try not to trample on the flowers as you approach the open, purple gate. And remember to wear your masks, now that you're here!

...Still, the sight of the yellow flowers waving in the wind....such a cheery sight fills you with determination for what's to come.

Welcome to the Underground.

...Again. The loop happened again, and you're here. Everything is the same.

Someone who was dead is alive again.

...The man, who's name you forgot...You've just forgotten almost everything about him. Anything he did, or said....there's just a person-shaped hole in your memory now.

You know someone was there, and that he was important. But....

Not only that, But more monster names have faded from your memory.

...You're losing so much.]

I got a pair of them today.

I haven't really thought of what to do with them, but... Wei-kun had a thought... but I'm not decided on it.

Have you loaned yours out?

[sageking]

Oh?

[ ... ]

Last week I had temporarily given one to Solomon to put on when he went to that lab. Though it seemed like it didn't ended up needed due to what occurred.

What kind of thought is it?

[cw_suicide]

... there's the three of us, you know.

So.

If one wears one from both sets...

[but also What If That Person Dies, That's Three People Dead. and that's why he's Unsure.]

[sageking]

...With the risk of three people dying, that could complicate matters.

[ As a King it'd be irresponsible of him to say otherwise. And he's not too keen on the thought considering the people in question (which he didn't exactly say, but, you know how he was with things like this.) ]

I already know that I had almost no interest in making use of the pair gifted to me and I had discussed as much to Wei due to the risks presented; if one died than so would follow the other, naturally. That changed when topic came up that it could be be useful knowing the other went somewhere potentially dangerous during the day, and not on a day where a certain element could come into play.

Which is why I had lent it to Solomon. If I felt an injury he incurred, I could go and arrive to take care of the problem. But that's the only situation where I feel it could be certainly useful.

But even so, once again, I don't believe I can simply lend a pair to you for either scenario because of how many would be at risk.

[... if anything, he seems to relax at these words and releases a breath.]

Such is the decision of a very wise king, then.

I'll tell Wei-kun I asked about it, at least.

... as for my pair... well...

[shrugs a bit.]

[sageking]

[ Sometimes it's difficult to know what the right choice was to make with these sort of things, but in the end, he was sure they both knew they couldn't just use them hastily.

Though the King surmised Dazai had been looking towards someone to affirm that, more or less. And who better to do that than the Wise King himself? Even in this form, he had such thoughts. ]

But of course. It's good you knew to seek my advice on the matter.

[ ... ]

Well, holding onto them for now is good enough. Whether or not there will be a good opportunity to use them remains to be seen.
