*You didn’t realize what was happening until Siffrin choked out blood.

*It was all such a burr…

*Madame Odile was the one who catched him.

*Isabeau immediately rushed to their side.

“SAY IT BRIGHT ONE!”

*The King’s pain voice, destroyed by blood, rours in your ears.

*Siffrin tries again and another cough of blood comes out.

“SIFFRIN! YOU NEED TO STOP!”

*Odile demands, however her usual confidences wasn’t there.

*Bonnie was crying, scared of what’s happening.

*All you are able to do is stand there.

“PLEASE! SIFFRIN, PLEASE! YOU CAN’T!”

*Isabeau begs with tears in his eyes, his voice breaking.

*You’ve never see him like that…

“SAY IT’S NAME, BRIGHT ONE!”

*You see Siffrin’s arm weakly raised to the ceiling.

“It’s… Name…”

* no.

“Is-!”

*please, don’t…

*Both the King and Siffrin scream.

*The King. Collapses.

*And Siffrin…

*goes.

*limp.

*Madame Odile gasps, covering her mouth.

*You stare.

*Bonnie grabs your skirt, wiping their tears.

*You can’t move.

*Isabeau is sobbing, holding Siffrin hand in his.

*You can’t breathe.

*Siffrin head turns to the side.

*You

*CAN’T

*BREATHE-

~~~~~~~~

*You are back at the Library, in Dormont.

*You need to go greet Siffrin from his nap!

*…

*Thank Change, you took those acting classes.

*You meet him as usual, trying your best to not to immediately burst into tears.

“Hello, Siffrin! Did you enjoy your nap?”

*They yawn, and gives a little hum.

“It was okay, a weird dream… I still kinda feel sleepy.”

*Oh, that’s new. Probably not good but you won’t show it on your face.

“Oh! I’m sorry!”

*They smile.

“Nah… It’s fine, I just feel a little sore.”

*They rubbed their neck.

*You blinked.

“My throat feels real weird.”

*Your face falls too quickly.

*They notice.

“Mira? You Okay?”

*Shoot.

*You fix your face.

“I’m fine Siffrin! Just a little stressed about the King that’s all!”

*His booming voice echoes in your head… You feel your mouth twitch.

“Oh… You want to talk about it?”

*You laugh.

*Even now, they still want to help you!

*Of course they do!

*They don’t know how much of a failure you are.

*How all you could do as you see him die was stare!

*You fake a small smile.

“That’s fine, Siffrin. You can rest at the Clock Tower while I get everyone ready.”

*He stares at you for a while.

*They nods, yawns, and make their way to the Bridge.

*Bonnie seems to go with Him, saying something about what they wanted to eat tonight.

*…

* You go to the Change God Statue…

*You knee down to it…

*…

*Then.

*You.
