For Thine Is; Zo

[animusmods]

Characters: any characters who are still within the Tower
Setting: the hidden floor
Format: any
Summary: Zo needs help. What will you do?
Warnings: psychological horror

Aria and the other retrieval units stand guard in the room and regard each person who enters with a little bit of caution. The reason quickly becomes clear: Zo lies unconscious on a bed that appears to have been stolen from a hospital recovery room. With the glamour down, he looks spectral: it's possible to look through his body and to the bed beneath. He's not quite a ghost, though, as he can be interacted with.

If Zo is attacked, the retrieval units will be quick to retaliate. They can't help Zo on their own, though--so maybe there's something you can do...

Hi, Veronica. [Zo is facing away from her.] You don't have to be sorry. It's not your fault.

[stitchedupbodyguard]

I know...

[Hesitantly, she walks towards him.]

But, I guess I should still apologize either way.

[animusnpcs]

Then I forgive you. [Zo looks back at Veronica, his eyes filled with something like tar that drips down his cheeks.]

[stitchedupbodyguard]

Uh!

[That... what was even going on here?]

Are... are you okay?
