A cold, delicate hand grabs yours and pulls. It pulls, and it pulls... there's a sense of urgency in this icy grasp, as well as a trace of reluctance. Abruptly the hand let's go, right as your vision fades to black, and for a brief moment, only a brief moment, your senses disappear. There's only the eerie sensation of weightlessness before your feet are settled back on solid ground again.

"Be careful. If you die on her side of the heart, the nurse cannot help you."

Eventually she finishes up with Janta's limb. He waves it excitedly, and True Heart hugs him again. //////

[ Clue is still smiling that wreckless grin. ]

I've been wanting to kill her for ages, anyway. This will be my best shot at it. Can you point me in the right direction.

Re: echo's true heart

[screwthatnoise]

"She is underground. To access her, you must go to the trauma center. There is a trapdoor there. Or, you can go upstairs... there is a hole you can jump into that should lead you directly to her. But that is probably no safer than the underground passage."

Re: echo's true heart

[autorejoin]

Which way's quicker?

Re: echo's true heart

[screwthatnoise]

"...the hole. But that... is not safe. So take the underground route."

Re: echo's true heart

[autorejoin]

What's so unsafe about it?

Re: echo's true heart

[screwthatnoise]

"Where it takes you. It takes you to Zwei... but not in a way you'd imagine. Not a way I can imagine either."

Re: echo's true heart

....Now I'm really interested....

[ He reaches over to ruffles True Heart's hair. ]

Well, one way or another, I'm going to take care of her. In the meantime, don't give up hope, okay?

Re: echo's true heart

[screwthatnoise]

"Eh? I have hope. I am fine..."

She clutches happiness tightly, who doesn't seem bothered by this.

Re: echo's true heart

[autorejoin]

[ He smiles at her briefly, less viciously this time and more genuine fondness. ]

Good. I hope you stay that way.

[ And with that, he leaves and is heading in the direction of the room with the hole in it. ]

Re: echo's true heart

[screwthatnoise]

Her expression is soft and gentle again. She waves you off.

To go to that hole in the floor means to go upstairs, and to take a left from the landing.

And it is there that you will stand before a large hole in the floor, with a long board placed over it. It obstructs you from getting to a room on the other side, but you're interested in this hole!

Re: echo's true heart

[autorejoin]

[ You're damned right I am. He considers the hole. Is there room for wing clearance? ]

Re: echo's true heart

[screwthatnoise]

Sadly, no. It's wide, but not that wide.

"Oh? Why, are you coming to see me, Clue?"

You should know who this is.

Re: echo's true heart

[autorejoin]

[ Damn, it was worth a shot. ]

Well, you know. I missed you sooooo much that I just had to come see you again.

Re: echo's true heart

[screwthatnoise]

She giggles.

"Oh~! ♥ You should come and see me, I'd love to have a show! I'm just so lonely!"

Re: echo's true heart

[autorejoin]

Oh, I've got a killer show planned out for you. I call it "Zwei's Final Bow." Here, let me show you—!!

[ With that, he jumps down the hole. ]

Re: echo's true heart

[screwthatnoise]

As you jump through you here Zwei's familiar cackling.

Where you land is dark, though.
