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.

[She glances over, winces, and then looks back.]

...Honestly, I have no idea. But if it becomes too much to bear alone later, I'll find you, or someone else. It's a promise.

Okay?

[unwittingking]

Okay.

[He trusts her. He starts to head towards Mithos, but still keeps talking.]

I'll keep my word about testing the shapeshifting, too! I promise you'll see more later!

[He won't forget that!]

[higanbana]

I'll hold you to it.

[A bit of a lighter promise to leave off on before she goes dashing off after a blue idiot.]
