FINAL WEEK

[Soon after, many of the figures lay dead. They bodies are splayed all over the stage. The female, however, seems to be gone.

Where did she go? What is she planning? It's unknown. But, soon after the Titled leave the Debate Hall, they are struck with a vivid vision. It is quick, but strong. Another dream, and this time, it is a waking dream.

Another memory. The Depths haven't been cleaned, either. The halls are silent, and no new doors seem to have opened. Yet deep down, you know. The end is near.

Its time to get ready. So, get ready, Titled.

There are seven strangers left.]

Any door? For real?!

[ Turning over the key in his hands, it was the only as Alexis continued that it gave Killua pause. ]

Her? And what do you mean about a proper place?

[intercessing]

Any door.

But it only truly belongs in one door - the Ebonmere. Doorway to the Evergloam, realm of Nocturnal. While it's here, that doorway is closed.

[A pause.]

...That's right. The more I look at the Key, the more I recall...

[lightnen]

Whoah... so it's really important if it's keeping that door closed, huh? I mean there was a lot of effort in keeping it hidden, after all.

[ They were able to recall more just by looking at it? That had Killua frowning slightly, even while a flicker of interest flashed within his eyes. ]

Yeah? Just what are you remembering?

[intercessing]

...Closing the door is normally frowned on. At least, closing it intentionally. Luck runs dry for those who Nocturnal is the patron of, when it is, save for the person who has the Key.

But not this time.

I remember. Nocturnal was the one who asked me to take the Key this time.

[lightnen]

Interesting. They asked you to take the key, but why for? It seems like they trusted you enough to actually entrust you with something so important.

I can kinda see a little why Farkas went to such lengths to keep this safe.

[intercessing]

They knew. Terrible days lay ahead and the Key needed protection. They couldn't say just what. But Nocturnal knew. Once I received the...declaration of war...

...

She was willing to make a deal with me, for a price. I was willing to make it with her, knowing that she wouldn't have contacted me without reason.
