[ floor 100]

[ Ishtar stood staring hazily at the hologram of the Pheliostan Castle, obstructed with endless hallways, and decorations. The Legsarams glowed as they used to protecting the holographic image of her own castle.

Her expression remained empty, as she kept her eyes from showing any emotions. Instead of crying and being pathetic as she used to, she simply just numbed it out. She clenched her fists, as she watched the floor giving her a huge holographic image of her home that she would never be able to see for a long time. She couldn't take this anymore, but eve the slightest tough towards the hologram proved that it was nothing more than a figment of deception.

She hated it. ]

[ floor 99]

[ The so-called 'oasis' like area blended well with her mood as she laid sprawled across the cavern floor, clutching Sidia close to her chest as she breathed slowly. She knew that things were going to end this way. Why did she bother opening up her heart and trusting again? It was so hard then to let people go and now it was even harder when it's the person that you were always worried about and thinking about.

She couldn't even say anything to him either. The princess blinked back tears as she cradled her sword closer to her form as she sobbed quietly. ]

[ floor 96]

[ The moment she ventured to this floor, her mind became confused. The emptiness and sadness she was feeling slowly drifted away, as if they were being lifted from her mind. Maybe it was best to forget things.

It seemed like they were slowly disappearing from her mind.

That's right, maybe it was easier to just let this white filled room keep her company. It was quiet, and it reminded her of-- of...what was that place again? It had rooms just as white and blank, a cold emptiness that she had experienced before but she couldn't remember it.

Strange, maybe someone was really trying to help her forget things. She didn't know why she came here either.

Things were becoming complicated as she pulled herself to the wall, resting her head against it. ]

[ floor 82]

[ A masquerade. It reminded her of home. Why did she go here? Why was she even here in the first place? She was wandering too much. There were too man floors and everything almost appeared the same, except this. Every door she entered had strangely been places that she either did not like or did not want to reminisce about.

A mask was obstructing some of her vision as she tugs at it, uncertain if it was safe to rip it off her face. Eventually, though it would be torn off and she would quietly slip around the location before leaving. ]

[Ah...so she was sad. He could recognize that noise, even if he couldn't see what was going on.]

I don't know what the reason is but if you want me to turn around so you can let it out, I can.

[ She forgot that he had bandages on his eyes, so it saved her from making a bigger fool of herself. ]

...It's...I can't stop it from coming out....sorry.

You don't have to apologize.

...even I have to do this sometimes.

....Yeah....

[ There might have been an attempt to laugh it off, but it was miserable sounding as Ishtar just let it all out. Sorry Satsujinki. ]

You know...how about I go get you something to drink.

[Partially as an excuse to temporarily escape so she could gather herself. Partially because, well, it might have been needed.]

....?

[ there was a confused look on her face as she looked up seeing him walk off. Something to drink? It wasn't like she wanted to eat or drink anything at the moment. ]

[It was an excuse. That's all it was. For him to be gone long enough that maybe she could let it out without someone watching.

But he does come back, holding a canteen in his hand. You'd have to be silly to actually carry a cup this far away from where you'd get them.]

...here.

[ Ishtar looked even more shocked to see him return with something for her to drink. He was right, there we no more tears to cry when he returned. her eyes were just glossed over and red along with her cheeks. ]

....

[ She quietly takes the canteen from him. ] Thanks....

Don't worry about it. It's one of those 'it's the least I can do' kind of things. Not that I could do much to begin with but you get the idea.

It's alright...it's more than enough. You've been kind to me.

[ She maybe sips out of the canteen of water that was given to her. ]

Don't think too much of it. It might seem hypocritical to say but if you ever need anything, you can ask anytime.

Thank you, Satsujinki. It means a lot to me, even if I can't really show it to you right now.

[ she offered him a weak smile and of course it was a lot more genuine than before. ]
