The ball pit might be cursed, but Caren is nearby - or as close as she can get, anyway, reclining against a table. For whatever it's worth, Miki is her partner for this night only, this sham of a contract. And she'll sit with her a while for that reason.
They've probably been sitting in silence for a while.]
[ they sure will, because miki doesn't really have the heart to face caren after everything. but when she talks, miki responds. ]
Alex and Setz already made a pact together, so you were the only one without a partner. [ she smiles, mockingly. ] I really did want to save you Caren, how sure I was that I could get away with it.
So true. But, looking back isn't always such a bad idea. Sometimes, you see the things you left behind, or maybe overlooked. And at least we know our souls will go... somewhere. Not just be gone, not yet.
I understand. Those memories make us who we are, even if they feel they were from a time unreachable to us now...
[It's like that for Caren; something inside her feels like Miki might be experiencing the same, as if they only lived some strange, disjointed lives far too long ago.]
That's comforting, isn't it?
... I lost my "faith" upon entering this game, you know, so having some afterlife to look forward to isn't the most terrible outcome.
[ he pushes her legs into her chest and tucks her chin under them, staring at caren with a curiosity. ]
Y'know, the girl I love - Miki Makimura - she comes from a Christian family. It's not usual in Japan, but then again her father was a foreigner. Any time I came over to her place all they ate was vegetarian dishes, and they had the most ridiculously large picture of the Last Supper on the wall by their dining table.
[ she smiles. ]
I never got that. I never got religion at all really. All I ever wanted to do was focus on what I could do, not what a higher power could do for me. Maybe that's why when the demon consumed me, I could thwart it so easily - I had no faith to cling onto.

Did you choose me for any reason in particular?

[She reaches up to lay one hand across her throat, where a necklace sits just below the collar of her shirt.]
Ironically, I believe this outcome is something we both needed, in the end: To move forward. That is the only direction.
