[CONTINUE + 4] Week 1 || Act: mingle

Monday comes onto the snowy town once more, though it still looks as if it's 'night' as ever.

Then again, you are underground. That's just to be expected, considering no natural light can get down here in the first place. The Monsters around you are just as friendly as ever, though now there's far, far less of them.

Is time running out for the mission? How many more loops do you have?

...You feel as if something is watching you when you're not looking.

[She... notices that double take, but says nothing of it.]

Ah, yeah, that's it. Alliteration is also a thing people use... I really need to brush up on things, huh.

[Just going to let out a slightly self deprecating laugh.]

...It's not that, it's agreement of the imagery. When people talk about "highs" and "lows," the highs are good and the lows are bad. Similarly, when one "falls" it means they're losing their hopes.

If you're getting an emotional high from despair, you're some sort of crazy person who must be stopped.

Some people just like to watch the world burn.

[Himeko states that rather impassively with a bit of a sigh.]

I was thinking that the situation is like that. That there is someone out there that enjoys seeing horrible things happen to people... or maybe, 'horrible things happening to people they see as fictional'.

Ennnnngh... when you put it like that, it just makes me worried about every character I created who I ever tortured. --As an author, I mean.

Well - that's just the kind of scenario we're in, I think.

Not that I didn't already know that I was 'fictional', in a sense... but my world still exists, it still matters. My emotions and feelings still hold meaning, both for myself and other people.

...I don't like to think of it. I'd rather think of 'fiction' in this case as being a gateway into another universe. That's basically what it is, right? A-Anyway, it doesn't solve my problems.

Trust me: most of us don't want to think about it.

And I suppose that's true. I don't think I can come up with any sort of solution for that problem, though.
