A robin redbreast in a cage
Characters: Kirei Kotomine and YOU
Setting: Floor Thirteen. Floor Ninety-Six. Anywhere else you may want to grab him.
Format: Brackets.
Summary: After the last event, Kirei falters.
Warnings: Mentions of death, suicide, domestic abuse and self harm.
Floor Thirteen
[ There is no one to hear his confession.
The church is empty and dark; forsaken. His footsteps echo loudly as he walks down to the altar, and his head feels heavy. The motions he makes are stiff, methodical, and long trained. Once he reaches the altar, he bows, dropping to his knees then bringing his whole body forward. His palms touch the ground, and so do his lips, without any thought of how the floor has been left dirty and uncared for.
He means to rise, but he cannot bring himself to do it. His body is stiff and resistant, weighed down by the burden of his own trespasses.
He killed her, and he enjoyed it.
There is no redemption for a sin that vile. ]
Floor Ninety-Six
[ Kirei had found another man here once: the traitor Iscariot.
Judas said it would make him forget, and Kirei had doubted much about it. It was said to be only temporary, and this is by no means a proper penance. This will resolve nothing...
But perhaps if he stays long enough, it all will be erased, and in that he can also erase the threat of harm that comes with his existence. ]
Wildcard
[ Or, if you prefer, catch him wandering somewhere else. Feel free! ]

The warning, while well intentioned, does not move him. ]
I am aware of the cost.
That is what brought me here.

You want to forget?
no subject
Have you never wished to erase a sin?
no subject
I've done things I don't think I can be forgiven for, no matter what. But I rather remember and try to attone - and maybe be a better person for it - than forget that it happened in first place.
That's just running away.

But perhaps it can be erased from me.

[Just warning him, from what he's heard of this floor, from what he's experienced, the effects wear off with time (thankfully enough) and even if he forgets, even if he runs... this will catch up with him again.]
What kind of error are we talking about here anyway?
[He might as well try to help, if he's already here - and save this guy the pain of remembering things all over again.]
