THE SECOND EXECUTION

THE SECOND EXECUTION



[As the time nears its end, the audience begins to chant the numbers as the seconds tick by. Their shouting and screaming reaches a fever pitch, until the countdown gets to zero. They cheer wildly as the chime sounds, as if they were watching a soccer game.

Lilac, for her part, simply sighs as a face is flashed onto the big screens and the cuff. On the big screens, the numbers 10-2 also flash on the screen.]


[She waits until everyone has quieted down before she speaks again.]

Everyone, do be quiet. And prepare to the execution. Please put on protective sunglasses, and do not look directly at the light if you do not have any. Of course, if you do, we do not take responsibility for what will happen to you.

[She looks at Zack.]

Now. Unless you can calm down, I shall put your glasses on for you.

I can do it.

[He might be the only one Zach can stand, at this point.

He sighs, and looks Eliza in the eyes.]


I'm sorry that this had to happen to you.
telecosmetic: (quiet)

...it's fine. It'd be worse for me, to see Zack die in my place.

[He lets out a small, bitter laugh.]

I'm not surprised.

[That's how family is.]

Before it happens...do you want to know one last thing? About the last train game?
telecosmetic: (staring)

[personal profile] telecosmetic 2019-08-04 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
You...remembered something about it?
unwittingking: (It's too hard to choose one though)

[personal profile] unwittingking 2019-08-04 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. You were right. I was on it.

And I...I met Atsushi there. The first time.

[He's not sounding broken about it. Just an acknowledgement.]
telecosmetic: (neutral)

[personal profile] telecosmetic 2019-08-04 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
[She just nods.] I...I see. The two of us didn't talk then...though I remember maybe seeing him there, at some point.
unwittingking: (It's too hard to choose one though)

[personal profile] unwittingking 2019-08-04 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
[He nods as well, and leave it at that.

He wishes he could've done more, but...what else could he do?

…maybe one thing, at least.]


I'll make sure they get out. Luce and everyone else.

I promise.
