The Twenty Second Trial

[hot_mess_express]

Who: You
When: Day 49, Morning
Where:

The entrance today is a huge, ornate stone archway. A gossamer veil glittering like starlight upon water hangs inside it, fluttering as if caught in a gentle breeze. It's impossible to say what might lie beyond; even if you walk around the other side — and it's perfectly possible to do so — you just see the same thing.

Good.

[He was very scared for a second there!! Just... too exhausted to make a big fuss externally.

His breathing is still kinda wet and wheezy, and he's burying his face against Sousei's shoulder.]

What happened?

[Lifting a hand and burying it in Francis's hair to hold him, still not sitting up.]

...I got cocky. Overestimated myself. My team paid for that.

[It's not really depressed selfrecrimination so much as angry frustration. He's pretty mad at himself.]

So did you.

[You were pretty dead!]

Everyone will be okay, Sousei.

[He massages Francis's scalp. He's aware,
but he's still mad at himself.]

I know.

What happened to you?

I drank something poisonous. I... can't heal anymore.

[Which isn't all that surprising given he's also monster-free but right now it sucks!!]
