[Lucciola's Heart]

[As you step through Castling's mirror, you end up in a large, bright and blinding white space. It's so bright that it's difficult to see anything the first few moments. Your eyes will probably hurt a lot.]

Re: MIRROR

[lucciola]

How did you— no. No, I do not believe you.

Re: MIRROR

[unguilded]

[ Oh ... this is familiar. ]

You...

Why don't you believe me?

Re: MIRROR

[lucciola]

This room cannot be intruded upon. It has already been ruined. I cannot let it happen again! You do not belong here.

Re: MIRROR

[unguilded]

We're not here to ruin it more. We're here to try and fix it-- not just here, but everywhere else outside, too.

[ Moves his hand, still offering the shards for him to see, out. ]

Would I be coming here with these, if I intended to damage your mirror again? I promised you I'd help fix it, Lucciola.

Re: MIRROR

[lucciola]

N... no... I know you would not.

[he already let Miles past, so... he steps to the side, giving you space in front of the mirror...]

Re: MIRROR

[unguilded]

Here.

[ Putting in the two he has, after giving him a comforting smile. Still slow and gentle with them because ~Lucciola's soul~ ]

We might have to go and find more, but ... do you feel any better than you did before?

Re: MIRROR

[lucciola]

[the pieces you put in meld together with some of the broken ones already there.

Castling pulls in breath at that and... then he nods]

It... feels better.

Re: MIRROR

[unguilded]

Good ... it's nice to know we're helping.

Why were you taking out what was left in there? Does it have something to do with ... whatever I think I saw run away when I came in?

Re: MIRROR

[lucciola]

[looks at the pieces in his hands]

I need to protect them from the intruder.

Re: MIRROR

[unguilded]

And are you helping him with that, too?

[ He addresses the other Lucciola in the room with the shard. ]

Re: MIRROR

[lucciola]

He cannot hear you. His shard is still incomplete.

Re: MIRROR

[unguilded]

Oh ... so we'll find some of what will help him along the way, too?

[ Going over to hug that one, then. :( Whether he pays it any attention or not. ]

Re: MIRROR

[lucciola]

[nope, he's pretty much non-responsive. also that hurts a little to watch]

Aah. I think so.

[meaning, I don't know, but]

Re: MIRROR

[unguilded]

[ To both of them. ] Don't worry. You'll be okay soon.

[ And whether or not the other one's responsive, he reaches for his hand and ... the other Lucciola's hand so he can make them hold hands. :l ]

Then you can keep things in here safe again, together.

[ He looks in the direction of ... whatever that thing he saw was. ] It went that way, right?

[ Guess who's gonna go follow. ]

Re: MIRROR

[lucciola]

[... ._. okay I'm holding hands with myself now apparently...]

Mh...

[whenever you move in that direction, the details around you move with you, just like a lamp light would move it's illuminating radius in a dark room as you moved forward. you come up to the exit to the Ometothchli dorm. it seems whatever it was went out this way]

Re: MIRROR

[unguilded]

[ Before he goes, he leans down to pick up the remnants of the shattered shards on the ground, offering them to the responsive Lucciola. ]

Here. These are part of you, too, even though they're in pretty bad shape.

Re: MIRROR

[lucciola]

[he accepts them gingerly with one hand]

...thank you.

Re: MIRROR

[unguilded]

But they won't be for long. We'll be back, okay? Stay safe in here.

[ And then he heads out of that exit to see if he can tail that intruder anymore. ]

Re: MIRROR

[lucciola]

Please be careful. Perhaps it is best if you go together...

[whether you choose to take that advice or not, this is where you end up]
