Story 18 ✐ video〚au!discedo〛

[The view is dark and it's hard to make out Chihiro's shape, but from the unsteady view it's obvious that she's shaking. From what you can see of her face, she looks... well, she looks terrified.]

I-If... if you were going to, um, k-kill yourself. What do you think the... best method would be?

[Further away you can hear someone call, "Sis, it's time for dinner!" It startles her, but once that passes her expression changes to... something almost angry.]

After all, it's not like I can stay here, right?

Chihiro-san. This life is surely false.

How can I believe that?! My family--they may not really be "my" family, but they love the Chihiro of here as much as my real family. I can't just believe those feelings are a lie.

They are as real as emotions from one dream figure to another. But it does not matter. We are not meant to be here. We were not meant to see such things. Such things should not exist. That is my belief.

You're saying these people... shouldn't exist?

I do not recall this life, so something is strange.

Is that how it is...? [SO UNSURE OF EVERYTHING CAN YOU FEEL IT]

I believe so. [SO SYMPATHETICALLY]

...I am sure you will sort your thoughts.

I suppose I'll have to. We don't have too long after all, right? [But she smiles, albeit a bit weakly.]
