Shiori pov: None of them understand what I'm going through the things I've seen have ruined my thought process they are failures if they can't save themselves

"Shior~Rin, we're here!" Rissa yelled as loud as she possibly could. I sighed.

"So much for subtlety..."

"Let's destroy the door then!" Biboo yelled

"....." I stood there silently and zoned out the door in front of me. morphed into something else, another door; it was actually a Rashōmon Gate.

I walked over to the door and placed my hand on it, but was launched back suddenly. "You aren't ready," a shadowy figure said as she jumped down and walked towards me.

"You...You're familiar..." I mention

"Of course I am..." She told me

She reached down and grabbed my bookmark. "Wait, stop, that's..." I felt a sharp pain in my head. My head was burning.

"You have gained so much knowledge..." The woman said with a snap of her fingers that the bookmark vanished, returning to me, "Shiori, you are the rightful owner." She claimed

"Yes, this bookmark...it was a gift." I said

All my words felt choppy. It is odd that I can't remember the exact moment I gained this bookmark. I felt my hair grow whiter from stress, but it reverted back to normal soon enough.

"What do you mean I'm not ready?" I ask

"You'll know soon enough." She claimed

"I'll know..." I muttered

"Shior~Rin!" Rissa yelled

"Oh-Wha?"

"You zoned out..." Rissa pointed out

"I-Wha...Hold it!" I groan

I felt like I was remembering something, but it was a faint memory. I don't know what the point is...

"Shiori?" Biboo questioned

"Guys, I feel sick..." I groan

"We can head back!" Rissa yelled

"No..." I growl

Yorick became unstable and blew the door in front of us up somehow. The seven of us went to enter, but I stopped and looked at the door, which was the gate once again.

"Stop trying to enter," they said again.

"You-tell me what the hell this is!" I shout

"Don't enter the gate," the woman said.

"What the fuck do you mean!?" I ask Yorick, wrapped around my arm and becoming a blade, "Tell me!" I screamed, lunging at the being and going to slash it, but I passed through it.

"You...you...you need to stop..."

It sounded like the woman was glitching, but I pushed through, going back to reality and entering the base.

"Shiori?" Fuwawa questioned

I looked around. "Where are the others?"

"They moved on..." Mococo said

I sigh and clutch my head in agony. "Alright, my pupperonies. Let's go." I sigh.

The three of us rushed down the corridor. "Why are you still here?" The woman said
