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...

[PUNCHES IT]

When you hit it, the dry dirt crumbles away just enough to let you crawl through, apparently having been worked at with the lotus roots throughout, and you find a small alcove on the other side, about ten feet long and four feet wide. In it sits a coffin, open and empty, and a Very Familiar woman who is dressed in victorian funerary garb sitting next to it, gazing at youwith a sad, gentle smile. She has blonde hair tidily bound back in a ponytail, except for two twin segments of her bangs hanging over her ears. Her fingers are dirty; it seems like she's the one who had been scratching at the other side. She's smiling, but there are tear tracks on her face.

"Are you lost?" she asks, in a soft, sad voice. "There's nothing down this way any more. You'll be better off finding things the other ways. Oh, but if you're looking for a part of me, I can give you one. Is that why you're here?"

She doesn't seem to recognize you.

. . .

[stares for a long moment, then walks up, sinking down next to her and just resting his head on the side of the coffin]

No.

I don't . . . need anything else.

[Startles when he talks, with sudden recognition]

Ah-!

[his shoulders are shaking a little, and he takes a deep breath, still looking down]

[reaches out for him]

It's all right. I'm sorry you had to see this.

[takes her hand, kissing it]

There's nothing I wouldn't want to see.

I know. Yuu...

I love you.

I love you too. You know that. But this is the past, and I'm dead now.

That doesn't change anything.

I know. It's not like I'm gone.

You're not gone. You're with me.

That's right. I'm sorry I can't be just who I was for you.

What the hell? When did I ever say I needed that? It doesn't matter to me what you look like or what you've been through. You're you.

...Yuu...

. . .

[I'm gonna kiss my dead girlfriend in her coffin]

[ok

she'll kiss back]

[moves further up to make that a little easier, leaning over her]

[wraps her arms around him]

[makes a slightly surprised noise, low, leaning down further]

Mm... Yuu...

Hmm . . .?

[INTERLUDE FOR MAKING OUT WITH MY DEAD GIRLFRIEND IN HER COFFIN FOR A WHILE]

[yeah ok dead girlfriend is enjoying that for a significant while but]

Umm... hmm...

Ahh . . . I should—
