week 7

[airlockedmods]

[For the first time in several weeks there is no new memorial in the garden. No new body in the morgue, no bloody mess for the roombas to clean. Choromatsu is still in need of time to heal and constant vigilance but he's alive. They're all alive for once on a Sunday and, even with the terrible realizations their returning memories may bring, there's a sense of hope for the first time in a long time.

There is no new floor this week.

Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday

["So tell me about your mother."]

When we escape from here, you should visit him.

[everylittlesecret]

["My mom might be a professional killer who has always hated me."]

Yeah... he'd like that. Make it a surprise visit.

[daughterofthemark]

["Bummer."]

I... am uncertain about my father.

[everylittlesecret]

... do you need help looking for him?

[daughterofthemark]

Ah, no, I know where he is. I have simply been... reconsidering some things.

[everylittlesecret]

Oh, did he fuck up?

[daughterofthemark]

He certainly...

[No. You know what? She's gonna do a swear. It seems appropriate.]

Yes. He fucked up.

[everylittlesecret]

[Oh shit! The princess swore! Nari is so proud of you.]

How bad?

[daughterofthemark]

[One day she will look back on this moment with pride. For now, though, she kind of feels bad about saying that. And about her own father, no less!

But...]

He...

Well, you have known me for several weeks now. You know by now what I am like.

[everylittlesecret]

Is he the same or more extreme? Or somehow the complete opposite and a pure bad guy?

[daughterofthemark]

He is always quick to understand things. He is knowledgeable and intelligent, and can be relied upon to come to good decisions. As a Sovereign, he is everything I am not. I always assumed this was merely a matter of experience, and one day I would come to be his equal.

[Deep breath.]

But knowing now what he had concealed from me about the Ginnungagap ritual, I wonder if... perhaps...

[everylittlesecret]

That he got all of that from the Guinunygappa thing?

[Like making a deal with the devil.]

[daughterofthemark]

[GUINUNYGAPPA]

No, the opposite. That he has intentionally raised me to be like this, so that I would never think to question anything.

[everylittlesecret]

Huh. That's some pretty big self-awareness from you. You know you can fix that, right?

[daughterofthemark]

[She was never entirely oblivious but now she's had four murder investigations to barely contribute to.]

I intend to.

[everylittlesecret]

What better time than right now?
