GRAVEYARD

The world is black. And then you blink at your plate.

A portion of your favorite dish greets your eyes, albeit in a form you may never have seen it in before. Encased in a thick, wobbling layer of multi-colored gelatin, the food you know and love now sits suspended in its protein-based enclosure as an eccentric re-imagining of the dish. Furthermore, it only takes a glance to see that the rest of the dining table's spread shares this same theme, as every single dish, sweet or savory, finds itself victim to a jiggling Jell-o jail.

Still, you won't have much time to take this all in before a quiet, high-pitched giggling makes its way to your ears, only crescendoing in volume the longer you sit in this oh-so-familiar dining room. It doesn't take much to find the source of the sound either; unlike the other side, this place is absolutely teeming with fairies to the point where the fluttering of their iridescent wings is clearly audible behind the din of their laughter. As you come to your senses, dozens and dozens of beady eyes watch with their tiny faces stretched out in a wide grin, before speaking in unison.

"Welcome, we can't wait to serve you!"

As the fairies erupt in raucous laughter all around you, at least one more thing is readily apparent: however you met your end, your body is completely whole again. You also have company at the table with you, although whether it's desirable company or not may depend on the circumstances surrounding your death.

In any case, there's nothing stopping anyone from leaving the dining room and roaming freely as usual, and most of the same areas that were available to you on the other side are still present here, albeit with some differences. And though your life may have been stolen from you, it still looks like you have a part in this tale, somehow, someway.

So, will you let your story finish here, or will you write your own ending?

Way better.

[ he laughs a little, trying to take one of suga's hands in his own. ]

[He squeezes C-ta's hand in his, before remembering something.

He lets go only to pull the emerald necklace that he'd been wearing underneath his shirt off over his head, and holds it out to C-ta.]

[ oh.

oh.

the gasp that c-ta gives when he sees that pendant is audible. partially because of the memories of his execution, but also because suga kept it. though maybe he should have never doubted that.

with a choked sob, c-ta just goes in for another hug, clinging onto him like a lifeline. ]

[Suga hugs back, writing on the back of C-ta's hand.]

I kept it close to my heart

[ that gets a tearful laugh out of him. ]

You’re so—you’re so embarrassing…

[ but he’s not letting him go. ]

I missed you so much, I—I’m sorry…

It's OK I'm here now

[He presses a kiss to C-ta's forehead. Shhh, shhh.]

[ he’s here now.

he’s here now and that makes him happier than ever, though in a way that leaves him feeling also mildly guilty.

after a minute or so his crying calms down. he pulls back, and finally takes the pendant in his hands. ]

It had broken. [ he pauses. observes it. ] When they found your…your body, I mean. [ … ] Are you sure you don’t want to keep it?
