Alma Heart Game

You fall into mud. It is sticky and sucking and cloying and whether you stay still and try to remain calm or struggle and try to get out, you're sucked downward. You can't breathe, you can't (of course) see, and you can feel the crushing weight of earth on you. When the blackness becomes overwhelming, you find yourself somewhere else...

The feather-person squirms and yells, wailing in a heartbreaking tone, while the other boy tries to decide where to aim his sword.

Bucky catches the heart!

This seems to decide something in the sword boy, and he walks over to Trisha and the feather person, raising his sword again.

Kid!

Do what you gotta do, but you're gonna have to live with it afterwards!

Trisha, get out of there.

[ Very ungracefully going to roll away from the feather-person, trail of blood following him. Looks like he has a long, but shallow gash in his arm. ]

The boy lets out a choked laugh. "Do you think I don't know that? Keep that safe. I can't."

He stabs the feather-person.

Feathers and blood fly everywhere. When it clears, you're alone on a pile of corpses with a heart in your hands.

...damn. Damn, damn, dammit--

Trisha, do you know where Kanda went? We should bring this heart to him.

[Looking around for exits, though, and checking to see whether the way they came is still passable.]

[ Getting up and... Trisha is smiling? Trisha is smiling. Adrenaline rushes are awesome. ]

How romantic, loverboy gets the heart. Good idea.

[ He's going to join Bucky in looking for a way out. ]

You could go back the way you came, but finding Kanda right now would be tricky.

The path also continues to the right, where it splits, one path winding up, another down.

[Eying that smile. Trisha, you worry him.]

Too bad I have no idea where Kanda is now. Let's just keep going--I'll hang onto this and keep it safe until we find Kanda.

[Going to keep the heart in his right hand so he doesn't accidentally squish it or something. Yes. Anyway, let's head to the right and try to determine whether there's any difference between the up and down paths...]

Can't tell. You'll need to pick a path and go on it.

[ Follows alongside him with a bounce in his step. This, plus the fact that none of this seems to actually bother him... yeah the worry is completely justified. ]

We already went up, Kanda probably went down.
