[There are a lot of photos on the wall, but they seem to be printed in shades of white. The people in them seem different every time you look, like this room isn't quite sure what these pictures should contain. Sometimes they're pictures of unitmates, or random people in Imeeji. Sometimes they're scenes of Liar Hell, or places that might be Earth, or places that are definitely not Earth.]
[Among these are a handful of framed photos that are in full, vivid color. They're of Cobalt and Thorn (mostly Thorn) looking happy, doing stuff like having burgers at the diner or taking a walk through the snow. In one photo they're dressed up in fancy clothes, kissing each other in front of a giant buddha, rings shining on their fingers. Unlike everything else in the room, these pictures don't change no matter how many times you look at them.]
Tell Lumen I love him Marry Lumen Tell my unitmates I love them Tell my friends I love them Find out what happened to Eos Find my family Tell my family I love them Regain my memory Escape Imeeji with Lumen Start a new life
On another piece of paper:
Hell option Pros: - I can travel anywhere I want, maybe find a new home - I can look for my family - I can try to find a way to improve living conditions in Imeeji and other programs; more ability to influence things from the outside? - Demon powers? - Better able to work toward overthrowing Hell? - Can come back to visit friends in Imeeji - Can visit friends who have been transferred - I get a wish? What do I wish for? Cons: - Work for Asmodeus - Forever - Anubis would be disappointed in me
Heaven option Pros: - Don’t work for Asmodeus OR Pythia Cons: - Can’t return to Eos, so where do I go? - Possibility of getting pulled back into Imeeji - Can’t look for my family - Can’t return to visit friends
Defeat Hell Pros: - Liberate everyone Cons: - How? - Are we responsible for this now? gross
and immediately goes back to the notebook and the empty page she'd written on, sitting down and picking up the pen again, hesitant and uncomfortable. and it takes a long time, but she manages to write:
i dont know if i can feel love when i felt that before i didnt know what to do it isnt normal for me i think? i know this doesnt make any sense im sorry writing is hard
its gugood you can feel that way i dont know how you do it or if you feel that way for reel or if its like caring about a kid or a unitmat i dont know
anyway
[ a bunch of dots and smudges; she taps the pen a handful of times and smears the ink with her finger when she starts and stops writing, frustrated and embarrassed, but. ]
i think if i were able to love or learn how maybe you you c i maybee i coodcould try loving you
[ this she stares at for a long time, completely red faced.
and then adds at the bottom, as if to sooth herself from too much honest sincerity: ]
[Is it just you, or is the room slightly warmer? Who knows what that means.]
[It's hard to put your finger on it, but you get the feeling that the message has been received somehow. You take a deep breath and feel +1 get added to your max HP (for all the good that does you now. I guess it just feels nice. Healthy, even.)]

good luck
