Ideal World Endgame

[idolpro]

Who: Beautiful dreamers
Where: The Game Tower
When: Day 271, morning

[When you wake, the folding chairs and divans from before have all been cleared away. You're lying asleep on the floor, healed of all injury.]

[You remember the events of the worlds you've visited as though visions seen in a dream -- though for those of you torn from your perfect existence, there is an ache inside you which will not fade for some days... the pain of something precious that has been lost.]

[Out beyond the windows of the tower, the sky is no longer a perfect blue; the vegetation is no longer as lush and inviting.]

[The view is of Tokyo-F, exactly as it's always been.]

[Near the far wall, there is an open book on a pedestal. The pages are empty. It is titled GUEST BOOK, and a pen waits nearby.]

GUEST BOOK | SOUVENIRS | WINNERS

Yeah. . . [ a faint, though sad smile ] she really doesn't have the best of luck in games, even if this was different. She has a lot of people who also care about her, though, so I'm grateful for that. You included.

Does anyone ever have any luck in games? They're unpleasant for a reason.

[bloodyrose]

. . . Point. [ ugh ] But I still mean it, regarding her having support. In case I end up being transferred again, or along those lines.

[time5kip]

I'd rather not have you count on me too much for that.

[bloodyrose]

I wouldn't. I'm sure your presence or acknowledgement would do just fine.

[time5kip]

I'm still not making any promises, so do make sure to take care of it yourself.

[bloodyrose]

Right.
