⚠️🔫 Violence Warning🔫⚠️

☾☽

Did that idiot truly not learn from last time to not fuck with you?

With the gun's barrel pressing coldly against the nape of your neck, panic surges through you. Without thinking, you swivel around, now seated and facing backward, the harness digging into your skin. The roller coaster hurdles forward, and the artificial stars and neon lights become streaks of color, a dizzying blur.

The tracks creak beneath the shifting weight of the coaster, adding an unsettling symphony to the chaos. In this disorienting moment, you catch brief glances of Izana's purple eyes and platinum blonde hair. Each flash of neon illuminates the determination etched on their face as the coaster twists and turns.

Seated in this backward-facing position, the fight with Izana takes on a surreal quality. You lock eyes, the gun between you a silent threat. The coaster's movements add a unique challenge; the shifting gravitational forces make maintaining eye contact a struggle. Izana's expression remains stoic, their gaze unwavering.

"What do you want, Izana?" you yell out, your voice cutting through the creaks of the loud machinery.

His response echoes through the chaotic symphony of the coaster. "For you to listen for once in your life!" he says, his tone cutting through the noise with chilling clarity.

The word hangs in the air as the coaster spirals into another twist, throwing you into the side of the cart. "You really think putting a gun to my head is going to make me listen to you?"

Izana's laughter pierces the disorienting sounds of the ride. It's a haunting sound, echoing through the artificial stars and neon lights. "This is your wake-up call, Little Shark!" he sneers, the purple eyes now glinting with a manic intensity. "You're swimming in a sea of ignorance, blind to the impending storm."

As the coaster hurtles through the simulated galaxies, Izana's demeanor takes a sinister turn. "Bonten's party is a trap," he hisses, the words carrying an almost unhinged urgency. "A grand illusion, a facade hiding the jaws of a predator. They're watching, waiting for you to dive headfirst into their game. You're the prey, and they're reveling in your naivety."

"Why are you so obsessed with me, Izana?" you yell out, a pent-up anger boiling inside of you.

You're tired of everyone acting like you're some little Red Riding Hood who needs protection, as if there's always a big bad wolf around the corner. It's beyond annoying, and just who does Izana think you are? You barely know the man.

And then, as the coaster plunges into a momentary darkness, Izana's demeanor shifts. His eyes, once ablaze with intensity, soften into a somber gaze. The sudden change in atmosphere sends shivers down your spine. "Don't you remember, Little Shark?" he asks, the urgency replaced by a haunting melancholy. "Don't you remember what happened when we were young?"
