The Sound Of Approaching Feet--

[thalassino]

And then, suddenly--

The elevator was open, lights in the Station Master's house warm and inviting. Suddenly there he was, grinning once more, offering rides once again. He says nothing of the situation, nothing except, with a grin-- "The rain is gone."

That means it's safe to go up.

The ride up is silent, swift, but once up--

SilenceIt is

Amane | 0108060830 | Open

[twiceinhabited]

[She's wrapping her arms around herself, looking very, very uncertain and fearful.

She failed. Either Jezebel will devour her soul, or Katsu will take the demon away to for the power to fight--kill--the Lord.

She can't seem to hear Remiel's words, to bring her back to her senses. But Jezebel's laughter is loud and clear.

'Amane! Stand strong!'
'Ahahahahah! Look at the venerable maiden!']

sob she's so gonna be sorry after this

[twiceinhabited]

Myself...I'm still here and myself. But I'm not sure for how long.

[Days? Weeks? Months? How long does she have?]

IT'S OKAY Maya is forgiving ;;;

[dualpinkpistols]

[ ... Maya straightens up. ]

... Alright. Do you want to talk?

[ If she can get to the bottom of this girl's problem, surely she can help snap her OUT of this...?

"They're like him," Artemis is telling her. Like him... like they're dreaming. In a bad dream... she has to help. ]

[twiceinhabited]

You want to listen?

[People usually do because she's the maiden. Not because she's Amane.]

[dualpinkpistols]

Of course I want to listen! You're so young... don't you deserve to have someone to listen to you? How you feel? I know when I was your age, I wanted someone.

[ She smiles warmly. ]

It's okay to be upset or hurt, you know. You're stronger than you think. So, hey... stop this. I'm sure there's others who want to listen to you, too... who are worried about where you've been...

[twiceinhabited]

Yes but...can they really help?

[Willing to listen and actually doing something are different things.]

[dualpinkpistols]

You won't know unless you give them a chance.

[ She gingerly offers Amane her hand. ]

... Can you do that? Can you give me a chance?

[twiceinhabited]

[She looks at the offered hand, unsure.]

I...I can.

[dualpinkpistols]

[ Maya offers her a warm smile. ]

Thank you. You can start by telling me what's troubling you... it must be hard, dealing with what you have to. A demon and an angel... you're very courageous.

[twiceinhabited]

I...thought it will be okay, so I accept Jezebel's powers and presence to help everyone.
