THE FINALE - 【 ZERO 】 ESCAPE

[vivariummods]

It's been ten days since the so-called "anniversary" on Day 90. Every single trace of a makeshift casino has been cleared out, leaving this suspiciously identical second warehouse empty (and the doors within that lobby locked), and Calhoun has mysteriously stopped dropping by as often as he should have. In the rare times he did drop by, he hemmed and hawed about what was happening and outright avoided answering any questions, shrieking that he's a busy mouse and he shouldn't be harassed by test subjects. Thus, for nine whole days, not a single particular event has occurred. No Calhoun Hours, Ambidex Games, or even a little announcement. It's not until the morning of the tenth day that something finally transpired. A loud siren goes off and the sound of a heavy door being slid open echoes from the second warehouse's lobby. Within seconds, however, both nuances cease and silence returns...

[Sasuke's around, if... quiet, aside from the occasional soft footstep. Which isn't terribly unusual for him, but in the current circumstances...

It's potentially worrying.

He has yet to voice what his final decision would be. Part of him knows that he ought to go out there, if only to reclaim his freedom. And yet...

And yet... it's tempting. Living in here, even with his freedom restricted, having the luxuries of food and a roof over his head. That, and with the technology Zero has...

He wouldn't even have to deal with his memories, either.]

Sasuke? You know, I won't judge you based on whatever decision you make. If you do stay here...at least there will be someone good here to look out after everyone else.

[When he finally does speak, his voice is even quieter than the norm.]

...You'll think I'm a coward.

[Probably because he is.]

[blind_badass]

Have you decided to stay then?

[not_that_sasuke]

...

If I stay here... Zero could probably erase my memories again.

[It's... honestly a very tempting option.]

[blind_badass]

Well, that is entirely up to you. I can see why it's tempting. I wish I didn't remember waking up for the very first time and losing my sight and my arm with no one to explain it to me. I could have done without that particular memory. *It still gave him occasional nightmares.*

It's kind of strange. I didn't know you before I got here, but if we're going to part...I'll miss you, Sasuke.
