Canis's heart
The moment you step through the mirror door, you seem to - slip, as if the floor were made of wax, but when you fall there is no floor to catch you; only darkness.
You fall for some time. Eventually, it feels as if you're not falling at all - but rather, floating . . . and some time after that, it almost feels as if you have no body at all. The light from which the entrance of Canis's heart is disappears quickly, and you're left with nothing - not even your own screams, if you have any; nothing seems to leave your throat, and there's no sound at all, besides. Even the rushing of wind is gone, and your own pulse seems to fade away. . .
. . . what penetrates your consciousness next is the soft sound of music. Someway or another, you find yourself on a white platform; you're dressed in plain clothes of your team color, all items gone from your person. In front of you, four stones float; all perfectly square and identical to each other. Each have images - a sword, a staff, a bow and arrow, and a sparkling circle . . . you understand what you must do.

"I can't."
He presses his lips together; there seems to be a minor quake in the earth as it trembles, though nothing else happens. . . ?
". . . I can't do that for you. Even if I wanted to, I can't."
no subject
If you cared about be like that, I'd always--stick by your side, Canis. I'd love you an' take care of you.
Even if you can't--would you wanna?
no subject
"I can't."
In a tone that makes it sound like it's the only answer that matters.
no subject
I'll love you, a'right? [ so clearly it's a great idea to take canis's sword from him and charge the glass!haruki with it still sheathed, right.
right. ]
no subject
Which is exactly what you may end up doing, only since it's still sheathed he can grip it tightly, yelling, "Stop!"
no subject
[ PULLING THE SWORD OUT OF THE SHEATH. and twisting away from canis. gonna go stab the haruki gonna stab it good. ]
no subject
The light scatters in all different directions, a rainbow crashing down onto the ground as the entire thing breaks - and the tremors return, only stronger, and the sanctuary begins to break, earth rumbling as sand begins to fill the whole place up through newly-made cracks in the wall. Canis himself is - frozen in shock, unable to do anything but stare at the broken pieces of glass, unmindful of the room's destruction as he reaches down to shakily pick up the pieces of glass. Though it cuts his skin and though the shard splinters embed themselves into his flesh, he's on his knees, clawing the glass to himself desperately with a whimpering cry.
no subject
[ well shit.
THAT WASN'T. entirely intentional, not like--this. he's quick to drop the sword, leaves it on the floor behind him as he rushes for canis, moves to wrap an his arms around his waist to pick him up off of the floor. he'll just. rush them both out of here. fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck-- ]
no subject
"No, no, no, no, Haruki-sama, Ha—Haruki-sama, Haruki-sama—"
no subject
[ you know that feeling when you do something really fucking shitty but you don't even realize how terrible it is until three seconds after you do the thing.
y e a h, that's. that's what mira's sure he did. thanks, self. thanks a lot. ]
You're gonna die if you stay in here any longer! Go, please. [ so he. gets on his hands and knees and starts scooping up the motherfucking shards, using his arms to shift them into one big pile. that's definitely nnot good on his arms, but. you know. ]
no subject
He manages out in a hushed breath, holding the shards protectively.
"I-I-I can't leave, I can't leave, I'm not leaving him, I can't leave this place."
no subject
[ he's got AN ARMFUL OF SHARDS. there's. way too many to pick them all up and canis won't leave on his own so he can't stay here and try to get them all before the sand takes over.
fffuck. standing up and. really awkwardly bending down to throw canis over his shoulder. he's getting out of here whether he wants to or not. ]
no subject
Of course, the entrance is quickly being filled up by sand. . . .
no subject
this is this thing and his thing isn't dying here and he will trudge through all this sand with canis and haruki-bits even if the glass digs into his arms even if it hurts he's not gonna give up now. ]
no subject
no subject
yes, okay, this is definitely safe. the most safe. if he puts canis down he's sure canis is just going to go back there, if he tries to run for it he'll probably die. if he tries to get canis over there canis is probably going to come back over here.
attempting to lurch back and avoid those swinging swords, yeah. while making sure not to drop or harm canis. deep breaths. ]
. . 'm real sorry. I'm real real real sorry, Canis. I said--I was gonna love you, an' I wasn't lyin'. I want you to live. More than anythin' else. Right now I--I really really want you to get outta here.
no subject
But something else answers you. The whole earth seems to rumble again, shaking and splitting apart until the earth divides and swallows you whole.
