"How about we make a deal, hm? If you agree to it, I'll tell you what I'm planning... not only with your so-called home but with the entirety of Inazuma~"
You sat in silence, truly, you didn't have much to lose, considering your past.
"Alright. Tell me what it is you want from me and... I'll see if I can do it."
"Oh my, so quick to agree? You don't even know my name, you really are trusting~" she gave you an amused look.
"What's your name then..?"
"La Signora. I'm the 8th of the 11 Fatui Harbingers."
"Ah.. makes sense. So mind telling me what business you have here, now?"
She stepped closer to you, crossing her arms.
"What if I told you I wanted you to join us, help me out a bit if you will~ I know who you are and what you have done... I'm sure you won't be getting an opportunity like this ever again." she gently ran her fingers over your collarbone.
"I need more specifics than that. You can't expect me to help you when I vaguely know what you are even talking about." you crossed your arms, giving her a displeased look.
"Hmph. We came to Inazuma in peace, simply wishing for the gnosis of the Shogun but that ended up failing. Hence we will be taking control of the nation until we get what we want." Signora gave you a cold glare, almost explaining that you had no choice but to oblige.
"I don't see how I could be of any help to you." you looked at her with a slightly confused look.
"As I said earlier— I know of your past and what you have done. You show great power, it simply needs to be used for bigger and better things."
"No need to flatter me like that~ but if you insist... I suppose I will join you in... whatever it is you're trying to achieve here."
"I knew I could count on you~" she said with a chuckle. "Please meet me at Mt. Yougou tomorrow morning. I will talk about our next course of action a bit more in depth then." she gave you one last look before exiting the cabin and closing the door behind her.
"Archons... what did I get myself into now... and how the hell does she know about me..?! I thought those records were concealed! And how the fuck did she find all of that out with such a short amount of time? She didn't seem to recognise me last night..." hoards of thoughts kept running through your head, keeping you from thinking straight.
You stepped outside and lit a cigarette, looking around and admiring the colourful leaves flowing in the wind. You stood there as you pondered about your life before being locked away...
"Hey, please calm down, I'm sorry..!"
"YOU BITCH, I HATE YOU SO FUCKING MUCH!!"
"I love you, please don't leave me, ever"
"I wouldn't do that..."
"P-please but the blade down!"
"SHUT UP, YOU'RE NOT FUCKING REAL, LEAVE ME ALONE!!"
"Are you fucking happy now?! IS THIS WHAT YOU WANTED?!"
"I never intended for this to happen, I'M SORRY!"
Small tears rolled down your face, your body lightly trembling.
"Why am I like this... what is wrong with me..?!"
More tears fell from your eyes as you angrily put the cigarette off on your arm, wincing in pain. You recomposed yourself and stepped back inside. In the corner of the room stood a long mirror, a few pieces missing from it. You walked towards it, looking at yourself. Soon, the tears returned. You hated what you saw looking back at you. In that moment you wanted to smash the mirror into millions of pieces and rip off every last bit of skin on your body. Your small cries turned into sobs as the painful memories and thoughts ravaged your mind once again.
Life didn't feel right. It never had. You never had anything to live for, almost like you were destined to die from the moment you were born. But then again, aren't we all?
You crashed onto the mattress, trying your best to block out any and all thoughts. You had always despised how strongly you felt everything, every emotion. It wasn't an issue of not being in control of them but rather a disadvantage given at birth. Like a deep wound that wouldn't heal because someone kept pulling off the scabs.
After hours that felt like they stretched on forever you drifted off into peaceful slumber. It really did feel like sleep was the only escape from the gruesome reality you were facing...
