[ yes. ]

At the time? Probably. It was 14 years ago.

[muragas]

Probably?

[ she thinks back to the boarding passes ]

Oh, I see... You were really young, weren't you. For me... it was 10 years ago.

[ old enough to remember more, it seems ]

[voidbreaker]

[ hm... yeah, she'd looked a little older than he was in his own memory, hadn't she? ]

And... it was some kind of vehicle accident?

[muragas]

[ she nods silently ]

I found out later that there'd been... an experiment going on, in the area. But it went wrong. As a result, our car crashed...

[ ... ]

I was the only survivor.

[voidbreaker]

... An experiment that had the reach to cause a crash? [ ... that sounds like grade A ouroboros esq crap right there. ]

[muragas]

Sure. It effected the whole world, after all. A bridge a few miles away from the epicenter is nothing.

[voidbreaker]

-- Wait, the whole world? What the hell were they trying to pull?

[muragas]

Oh, you know, the death of all things on the planet. Thankfully, someone sabotaged it, but there were side effects.

[voidbreaker]

...

D'ya ever wonder who hurt these people that they think "y'know what I should do today? Destroy the world"?

[muragas]

Oh, it was less about destroying the world and, uh...

[ hmmm, how did they phrase it again ]

Embracing the eternal slumber of Death, the Almighty?

[ ... ]

They were really nihilistic people.

[voidbreaker]

...

[ excuse me ]

Embracing "the eternal slumber of Death, the Almighty" sure sounds like an "end of the world" kind of scenario, just dolled up differently.

[muragas]

[ she just. shrugs ]

It wasn't the world that would die - just all of humanity.

[ ... ]

I guess we could have asked if that would include plant life and animals, but we were more concerned with figuring out how to stop it. And then only guy we could question got shot and fell off the roof.

[voidbreaker]

...

I mean, literally that would be the end of things for you. And like every other person. [ potato, poh-tah-to? ]

...

Would he have answered those questions before, y'know--[ he mimes a shooting motion with his hand. pew pew. ]

[muragas]

Ummm... He was a little preoccupied ranting about he was going to be the Prince or something and trying to sacrifice us on the roof of the school. It was a little weird.

[ you know, in retrospect it's almost impressive how well Ikutsuki held it together for 6 months! ]

[voidbreaker]

Cults and the end of the world all in one bow. That’s some crappy as all hell luck you got there.

[muragas]

It was pretty terrible, but we managed to get through it.

[ ... ]

Did you ever find out what happened to Hamel?

[voidbreaker]

Mm. Well, that kind of stuff kinda makes you want to success just to piss off the people you’re ip against.

[ ... ]

Yeah, I did.
