[Roleplay] The Rebuilding - Continuation of The Aftermath

[toxapex]

I look up at Sai curiously, and yawn. "Huh... yeah...?"

 

[Naiad]

"Sage is alive, Helix."

Well.

I had to. I want at least one couple to be happy.

 

[toxapex]

I get agitated. "You, too? She's dead. I thought you of all people could have the sense to accept that..."

 

[Naiad]

I shake my head. "Helix, listen to me. Sage is alive, the one you saw in your dream is the real one."

 

[toxapex]

"No. You're wrong. Now, stop it, I want to sleep..." Why can't everybody just stop playing with me like this...?

 

[Naiad]

"Helix, I'm not wrong. Sage is alive, the body we saw was a decoy.
The dream is all the proof I need."

 

[Myst]

A sudden knock on my door interrupts my thoughts. I say, "Come in." The door opens and in walks my older brother.

"I hope I wasn't interrupting anything."

"Not really. What's up?"

"Are you ready to start?"

"Really?!" I ask excited. Finally something to do...

"Yes. Just follow me." I walk out and into the hallway, leading her to the room.

 

[toxapex]

"...Shut up. She's gone. Stop making me deal with this. She's gone, and we all need to accept it." I try to keep my cool, but I feel like I may be visibly angry.

 

[Naiad]

"Why would a figment of your imagination feel the need to lie to you?
Explain that, Helix. Explain why we all had the same dream. You can't."

I bite my lip. "We need to find her. She's alive, somewhere."

 

[toxapex]

"No! NO! SHUT UP! SAGE IS DEAD! SHUT THE F**K UP AND LEAVE IT ALONE!" I storm off to my room and slam the door shut. I lock it and start crying again. I thought I could handle this... now even Sai is against me...

 

[Naiad]

I pound on the door. "Helix!"

He knows that you have keys to all the rooms, right?

.... I'm not going to use them.

 

[toxapex]

"...Stop..." I say, silently weeping, sitting slumped up against the door.

 

[Naiad]

"Helix, come out, please."

 

[toxapex]

"...Why...?" I try not to sound like I'm crying, but my voice shakes nonetheless.

 

[Naiad]

"Because you're crying, Helix. No one should cry alone." I knock on the door. "Open up."

 

[toxapex]

"Sage is dead." I say. "I'm not coming out until you admit she's dead and we can move on..."

((brb))

 

[Naiad]

"But what if she's not, Helix?" My voice is soft.

 

[Myst]

We finally stop at a large double door. I ask curiously, "What's in here?"

I smile at her and say, "You'll see." I open the doors and gesture for her to enter first.

I walk inside and my jaw nearly drops at the sight of everything.

 

[toxapex]

"She is, though... I saw her, I saw the letter she wrote to me... I heard her talking about it, and you did too... she's dead and it's all my fault..."

 

[Naiad]

"No, it's not. Open the door, Helix."
