Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

I don't know what you're seeing. Can you describe it?

@Yatagarasu

*Closes one eye, and keeps the other held open*
Heartbeats. Breath. Blink. Energy. Movement.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Do you want me to fix the feeling?

@Yatagarasu

No...
*Holds my eyes open with my hands, fighting my eyelids trying to close automatically*
Do you... really look like that now?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

What feels like what?

@Yatagarasu

My hand. My face. My face. My face.
*Bites onto my tongue to distract myself*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Holds you still*
Does anything besides your eyes still hurt?

@Yatagarasu

*Tries to get my breathing under control*
I—Yes.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Looks into your eyes*
Can you hear me?

@Yatagarasu

*Nods, barely visibly*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Grabs you and holds your arms to your sides*
Stop.

@Yatagarasu

*Lurches my eyes open, still shimmering and bloodshot, and stares in your direction as if I was looking through you*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Holds you tighter to me*
Stella, are you okay?

@Yatagarasu

They— too much!
*Grabs a pair of probes and digs their needlelike points into the soft flesh beneath my eyes*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Counts down from 30 then turns it off*
Are you okay?

@Yatagarasu

*Clenches my eyes shut, scratching incessantly at my face*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Winces from the shock*
That's... fair, I guess. How are you holding up?

@Yatagarasu

*Digs my nails into my shoulder, drawing blood, while slamming my disfigured hand back into the ground amidst twitching muscles*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

We can do it full force instantly instead of ramping up. This just seems like torture...

@Yatagarasu

Then we'll do it now.
*Slams my hand onto the dial, turning it up to full power*
