>"Not with you like this," comes Byakuren's voice, calm as always. Still, you can hear that she will accept no argument.

>You let go, and the tears don't stop. You can't stop the sobbing. Dimly, you wonder if your hands are even there anymore. You're not sure if you want to have them anymore or not, if they would just wither away and dissolve, it would be so nice. You're only dimly aware of what's happening, you can feel yourself rock and sway, and hear Byakuren grunting with effort. You wonder what is so difficult, you're not that heavy.
>You are moving through a yellow place. There are soldiers, you realize they are connected to the pain in some vague way. They dance and fight on flat battlegrounds, and nothing changes. The world shakes every so often, you think you're being moved. But it doesn't matter, the soldiers fall and new ones come, and you just wish they'd finish their damn war. It's not as though you can do anything about it.
>After some time, you become aware that you're laying between sheets. The world is numb.

>You roll your head over, and realize that you've not opened your eyes.
>Doing so, you see a faerie, maybe two feet tall, with short purple hair and a maid uniform, holding a tray and staring at you with a mixture of horror and fascination. "This is it," she moans, "All is lost! Cats will become dogs and dogs will become mushrooms and the skies will run with custard and flan and it'll be all burned and icky and boss with finally get a girlfriend! Woe! Terror! Malaise! Torpor!"
>She isn't looking toward you anymore.

>Taking in your surroundings a bit, you're in a room with odd walls, you're not sure that they're made of. They are decorated with an odd pattern of alternating faint red and white stripes. You also notice a weird-looking wooden chest of drawers near the faerie.

Yeah, you were a bit quick to assume a loss there, Kilga.

I dunno, it didn't seem to me like talking would have gotten us anywhere. What happened is far more entertaining, good TV if you will.
