Day 10

[andascholar]

[Everything is terrible and Zelda has no time to mourn forever. She needs to make plans and solidify alliances. And so she is making invitations to her dressing room whenever boys are available.]

[Clenches her fists.] It's cruel. It's so very cruel to you.

[talktothestand]

And I've had more cruel stuff thrown at me my whole life. I think I can handle whatever you might ask. Don't worry. [Rubs the back of his head a bit sheepishly. Did he say something wrong to Zelda...?]

[A childhood of being abused by an alcoholic father. Growing up with an abusive older brother after that... Taking care of themselves after both parents were unable to ook after them. Being used by his own brother. No friends except when he met Josuke Higashikata.

So quite frankly, Rohan's treatment of him here didn't compare.]

[andascholar]

...Even if I asked you to die for me?

1/2

[talktothestand]

...!!!

2/2

[talktothestand]

W-What happened just now that might need your protection? Did something happen and I can help?

[That came out of nowhere. But.. He would.]

[andascholar]

[...HE'S ACCEPTING IT SO EASILY] You - you can't tell me, that you'd be so eager... I know you don't want to die. You said you wanted it to at least be on your own terms, but, this is asking so much...!

[talktothestand]

Hey, hey... [A reassuring hand on her shoulder.]

No one wants to die. It's normal. I even had prizes that I would have liked to win more than anything.

But I am dying on my own terms. I am choosing when I die and not letting the Ronald or the chihuahua or whoever's running this game at this point... So it'd be ok, Zelda.

It'd be ok if I got to go knowing I helped somewhere along the line.

I don't know how to thank you and Niles... So I'm doing what I think can probably get through to you guys that I'm grateful.

[andascholar]

[This is so so cruel. As a princess she's enlisted people to die for her countless times but never this directly. Never by her own hand. She's supposed to protect her people. And now she's even making him comfort her. A failure of a princess to the end.] You... You will save a life. Someone will go to the hotel, and this will be remembered. I'll tell everyone of your sacrifice. I'll have your name spread throughout Hyrule Okuyasu, everyone in my kingdom will know the service you've done for me. For everyone here.

[talktothestand]

[He sees the sword. He reaches for it. ]


You need to win this. You and your people.

My last words... Huh.

I want you guys to give the Ronald hell. I want the person who is getting this vote be safe. I want you to give whoever sent Niles to the hotel some hell.

Maybe in another lifetime, I'll get a looker like Niles or a sweetie like Mari.

But most of all... Maybe in another life time, we can all keep hanging out together.

It's been fun, guys. You guys, even Rohan, were my only friends and it's the most I've ever enjoyed myself.

To anyone who thought I did nothing, I am having the last laugh, at least.

Thanks for everything, princess. [He raises the sword up. He then stabs it into himself, into his abdoment.

As he grunts and coughed, blood spurted from his lips and dribbled down his chin. Zelda is welcome to keep making the sword go in further. He just couldn't ask her, the burn victim, to do the hardest work. ]

[andascholar]

[OH MY FUCKING GOD WELL SO MUCH FOR OFFERING HIM ONE LAST CHANCE TO BACK OUT. Zelda jumps, eyes widening in horror, but she understands him and walks forward to clasp the handle of the sword. It has to be her that does this. Make it quick for him make your last words to him short don't let him suffer.] I will tell them. Thank you. Thank you, Nijimura Okuyasu. Let us meet again in the next life. [Drives the sword through him.]
