END OF CHAPTER 3 ; EXECUTION

[themodsgrimm]

The Story Continues... END OF CHAPTER 3 - WEEK 329 Narrators Remain ; It's execution day, naughty murder children. Breakfast is served in the dining hall, all the better to fortify you for what is to come. Wherever you might wander in the castle, you will find yourself drawn to the foyer when the clock strikes not twelve, but ten. In the distance, there is the sound of clanking armor. Yamatonokami Yasusada appears, flanked on either side by suits of armor, escorting him to his punishment. His expression is one that may be difficult for anyone who isn't a sword spirit to read, but he seems to have accepted his fate. A moment later, the Tiger appears on the foyer's staircase. Her hand trails down the banister as she sashays down it, and she takes her place at the head of the group, standing in front of what appears to be a wall. "Come along, darlings," she says. "The execution awaits." You blink, and then it's there — a door leading to the outside. The Tiger steps through it. You have no choice but to follow. Welcome to your third execution post!

[It's a lot. Just like every Sunday there's a lot to accept. A lot to have to take in. She feels sick, watching all of this, but she can't move away. She has to watch it.

But she's not frozen the same way her partner is. There's the odd sensation of being entirely detached from the proceedings happening around her.

One hand moves to take Cardia's wrist.

It's so stupid to want to ask if she's okay. So she won't.

Rebecca will be here. Trying to be somebody to lean on, however out of her depth she actually is.]

[ Her fingers twitch slightly, though it takes an additional few seconds to turn her head, to confirm.

It's her partner. It's-- ]

R-Rebecca...

[disclosures]

[She's fighting her nature and her natural instinct to pull away from things that don't involve her here.]

I'm right here.

[The words are strange and foreign on her tongue, but she forces them out anyway. This is what a good person would do. And Cardia already thinks that about her, no matter how wrong she might be.]

Whatever you need, okay?

[discardia]

... Thank you.

[ This is fine. This is more than enough. ]

[A brief wave of confusion washes over her. Thank you? She didn't do anything this trial. She didn't help anybody. She's not suited to it.

If you say so, Cardia.]

You're welcome.

[However long Cardia needs to stay out here, Rebecca will too.]
