Part 48: Jin: Story 04

Alright, this happens after you win.

...Why? Why won't you die!?

No matter how many times I stab her, or how many times I freeze her...
The girl keeps getting up...
Yeah yeah, this is all the same, move along.

...Impossible. YOu cannot kill me...
...What did you say!?
Perish!



A bolt of light erupts from her body and slams into me.



GAAAAAAAAH! Damn it, my feet! You bitch!

Am I going to die here...?
The girl walks toward me...and keeps going...

!?



Ragna... Finally the hindrance is gone. We're together, at last!

She reaches for my brother...

Brother!?

Stop it... I...
Finally...we can be one...
Stop it! Brother, BROTHER--!
Okay here's the real shit:

She hears my voice and slowly turns to look at me.



Only now do I realize...she...she has her face...

Wh...What...? Your...face...Damn it. Why! WHY!? I just killed you! I just killed you!
Hmph...

She turns back toward my brother and starts to carry him toward the pit.

Wait! Let go of my brother! You bitch! You biiiiiiiitch!

I gather what strength I have left and drag myself after her.

No... Not again... I'm not gonna let you... I'm not gonna let YOU take my brother away from me again!

...But I can't catch up. That bitch stabs my brother, right in front of me...over and over...

Guh!

Ragna!
Now Ragna...we can become one!

Ugh! ...Wait...! Brother! Gah...Ugh...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!



It will happen again, won't it? Perhaps I was expecting a little too much...
From these people? Yeah.

AD 2099/12/31



The stars...are lovely...

The night sky is so beautiful, I can't help but think about it.

But the moon...the moon is too bright for my eyes. I try to block out its light with my right hand. Tears begin to roll down my cheeks.

Brother...

My brother. I have to kill my brother. He must know why; he must understand. I keep telling myself he does, but it doesn't help. The tears start again.



...Who's there? You're...
...

I know this woman.

She is the one who watched me fall into the Cauldron. The same woman who looks down on me with a bored look on her face. I want to ask her what she's doing here, but I can no longer speak. All I can do is stare at her.

Soon, it will be born...

I already know what's going to happen...what's going to be born here.

...The very thing I was born to destroy. But I have no strength left. I can barely move...

Mr. Hero, how would you like to become a -real- hero?



...This place is...
...
You're...?



...

THIS IS GETTIN' PRETTY REAL.

There's only really one Teach Me Ms. Litchi left, and that's for later, so we're going to power on to Rachel next and get ever closer to the end. I don't know how she works, but that's never stopped me before.
