4th Wall: [Action for Azalea Town]

[shallbeavenged]

[Ai is on the outskirts of town and she seems happy. Or at least, her version of happy. ]

Ren, her Absol is sitting next to her bag as she stands off to the side, trying out her now suddenly working powers.]

[Illusions of people walk around her then vanish. Fire appears in the air and then vanishes, and she sends a blast of dark energy into the sky. Watching it fly up.]

Why can't I get home then Ren?

[The Absol doesn't reply, as he doesn't know either. Ai continues to make dark energy appear in her hands, tossing it back and forth as she thinks.]

Comments

[strike_you_out]

[And again he shrugs. There is no possible way to prove anything and the more knowledge he demonstrates of her, the more paranoid she will become, he fears. All he can do is keep being her friend even if she doesn't remember him and at the very least, tell her what he is.]

In my world it's my job to free the ones who are trapped, the ones who can no longer face reality. I find them and end their suffering. [Slugger raises his bat and gives it a one-handed swing to emphasize exactly what he means, then rests it on his shoulder.]

I was a monster. [But now, he isn't sure what he is anymore.]

[shallbeavenged]

[That's probably a good idea, as Ai tends to be a bit paranoid. She listens to him talk though.]

What are you now?

[Sorry Slugger. Sill more questions. However she hasn't accused you of anything so ...there's that!]

[strike_you_out]

[His head slants ponderously in a moment of thoughtful silence.]


I don't know. I'm just... me. [It's vague but it's the best answer he can give right now. He stands watching her, almost perfectly still.]

Do you like it here?

[shallbeavenged]

[After a moment she nods. The confusion is familiar and she makes an offer she's made many times before to other spirits in Japan.]

Would you like to join me?

[As for that last question...]

Perhaps, it is a strange place. I've only been here a month or so. I don't understand it.
