sinking down, down

Death is a drop into a blackness that swallows you. You feel the movement of not air but shadow across your face as you plummet, and there is no bottom. No crash.

If there is another side, you do not reach it.

It is neither the light of heaven or the fires of hell that greets you when you wake. And wake you do, to the buzz and flicker of old fluorescent lights.

You are laid out beside a full-size competitive swimming pool, half-filled with stagnant water. The doors out are blocked off by locked doors covered in caution tape. The locker rooms are long since emptied, paint peeling from the humidity. The only signs of habitation are a few pieces of scattered graffiti.

Welcome to your new home. There's no sunlight, no indication of time passing. Just you and each other and your thoughts. the stagnant water bubbles a little occasionally, but there's nothing in it.

Before long you'll realize that you no longer need to eat or drink. You might notice your hand go through something if you don't focus. You're a ghost now. What's that they say about unfinished business?

Rinne...I'm sorry I didn't promise anything like that to you.

If I knew, I...I don't know.

You're still my best friend. Is it selfish of me to not want to lose you?

[Rinne is kind, and probably won't tell her it is. Even so, asking in itself makes Kana feel selfish. Hearing someone tell her they want to be near her is all Kana's ever wanted, after all.]

[ It stings. She knows, but it stings. Something deep inside her twists. The horrible girl she is—

Rinne lets out a soft breath and runs her fingers over Kana's hair. ]


It isn't. I don't want to lose you either.

[ Even if she can't have her in the way she wants. ]
