[Endgame: rise or DROWN]
[How long have you been exploring Nessa's palace now? You've met her family, viewed her memories, learned how to fight as a witch and tried to find the source of her power and the Treasure of her palace: the Voidheart. And along the way, you've tired your best, with mixed success, to avoid the incarnation of her eldest cousin and the representation of her trauma and fear, the Nightmare of Esmau.]
[Wherever you are in the Palace right now, you feel the ground briefly shake under your feet. Little shakes here and there haven't been out of the ordinary - Esmau is trying to blow the place down to the studs, after all. But that felt different. That felt....worse.]
[Your phone beeps as you receive a message.]

[despite herself, another memory comes up. That of her bashing another living person's head in. Just how visceral it'd been, even compared to the executions, because she had to get her hands dirty. But, this... made her want to do it again. Compared to any other execution she could dream up. Putting her in a killing game was too good for her.]
You are going to die for this, Esmau. This, and insulting anime!
[Right, stay grounded.]

It's a softer yell than Sprezzatura's, but nonetheless: ]

[because whatever triumph had filled his heart after Nessa appeared is immediately replaced with ice in his veins]
-- NO!
[see Akira pounding violently against the sides of the bubble now, trying his best to break it, knowing that there's no way he can]
