#ashes of memory

This song is so Final Game-core, and kind of encapsulates the way I view Orpheus and Alice's relationship.

Ashes of memories.

And in the late night when all is still, here he lies. The stillness of the blackened sky has stopped time in its tracks despite every time he looks at the clock, the time shifts and changes.

1 am feels like 9 pm. 5 am feels like 6 pm.

But its all the same in the eyes of the blackened sky of which envelopes the man in a loving but cold embrace.

“Let this be my guiding light,” a hushed voice whispers, his heart beating in murmurs, barely loud enough to make a sound.

When the world is quiet and all is still, where time stops and the pain subsided into a mind aching numbness,

There Norton lies, beneath the blackened sky.

Not a sound of another soul in sight. Not a source of light brighter than the northern star appearing for miles.

It’s just him and the blackened sky.

The stars have all gone out.

The stars have been out for a while. He doesn’t know if it’s just a dream or if the planets have been stolen from the sky,

All he knows is that the stars are gone, the bees have disappeared, the crows have stopped flocking and the lamb has come to be slaughtered.

In a starless night, when all is quiet, he hears the whispering winds, rustling up the dead leaves of the trees. The ground beneath him rumbles and shakes at a low ominous tone, but yet nothing louder than a waterfall is heard.

No screams and cries, no last goodbyes,

Just the subtle taste of iron on his tongue.

A sweet little treat, for the master of this meet,

And a blonde beauty stumbles through the lies.

As here he meets, his final match,

DeCapo

Words uttered on the tongues of five.

DeCapo

Sings the sweet songs of why.

Why Norton Campbell lay, unburied, rotted, decayed,

BTW, Melly's new emote has basically confirmed that this is indeed Sam Bourbon:

The man we see Melly envision a.k.a Joshua looks nothing like this guy so it's obviously the blond standing next to Sam.

So anyone wanna bet Sam partially behind the Detective's return to the manor 10 years later? He's become so much more prominent over time so they're building him up.

The only reason I propose the idea is the fact that despite winning one game, no one truly ever leaves the manor games. Luca, Emma, Murro, etc.

Stares at you with my big sorrowful raccoon eyes

“Where is he going” look at him Alice I’m not sure HE even knows the answer to that

She was right he IS eepy

I’m crying why does he look like that. Getting the angry face ready for whoever he thinks he’ll see following him

Gunpoint compilation. Please he’s so pretty I need to take over his body I mean. Um. I need HIM haha.. .. .

The audacity to use the siren sound from the final cipher being decoded for when the game STARTS is INSANE hello the gate is supposed to be um being opened… why is Orpheus decoding ciphers.
