       What a situation to be in. When he suddenly found himself dragged from his world into some unknown city, he expected to be subjected to some horrible experiment, or to be forced to partake in some twisted scheme. 

       But now, he found himself standing in front of some sort of festival game. People of all sorts of backgrounds and appearances, huddled in front of small ponds filled with goldfish. Quiet, calm conversation was all around the scene, as people tried their best to gently scoop a goldfish from the pond. He mostly stood in the background, merely taking in the scene. His eyes trailed an older and younger brother, walking off in celebration of their own catch. 

       ...For a moment, he thought of Gailardia. 

“...”

       --Being that he had a fondness for fishing, he’d have been lying if he said he was completely uninterested in the game. But why should he indulge in something like this? It felt... wrong, simply put. As though his merely being here felt incorrect. There was a twinge of ‘hesitation’ in his stance, borne from something deeper and darker within his mind, that the average person might mistake for something else entirely. 

       He considered leaving, for a moment. His energies could go to something more productive...

How do you feel about Sync?

Ask my character “How do you feel about ______?” Can be an idea, person(s), place, or thing, and they’ll have to answer honestly.

       ‘Sync’. The Tempest, and one of the God-Generals under his command. They’d had quite the sordid history, when he dwelled upon it. One of many failure replicas created to replace the original Fon Master Ion, whom he personally saw to the demise of. Initially. But the replica’s survival had surprised him, and caused Van to reevaluate his worth. That was how Sync had joined the God-Generals’ ranks, and how he had met his end under Van’s command. 

       A loyal, useful tool with seemingly no purpose beyond accomplishing the commandant’s own goals.

       …

“My feelings on Sync are pointless to delve into. He was one of my subordinates and a comrade. His own opinions are the only ones that truly matter. If he thought himself ‘trash’, then that was his business. None of mine.” 

       ‘Pity’ was a good word. Though the road the replica walked was one ultimately fated to result in his end, as with all of the God-Generals, the commandant had truly sympathized with his plight. It was yet another unfair, pointless tragedy formed because of the Score’s poisonous grip on humanity. 

       Perhaps Sync’s existence merely became another justification among hundreds for his own actions. He had no reason to doubt that feeling in his mind. 

“–If he seeks to find new meaning in this place, so be it. We fought for a world where the Score would no longer decide mankind’s fate. Though we were defeated, that is the world we seem to have ended up in. I would be a hypocrite to deny him that right.”

       But as he said that, he was well aware that very hypocrisy was nonetheless never too far from him. All he needed was another justification.

“--Are you lot merely pretending to be blind to the situation, or are you more foolish than I imagined?”

       His tone is cold, unforgiving. His eyes don’t even meet the princess’s, and instead, he turns to face his back to her. Disdain seeps out from him, poisoning the very atmosphere around him. One could almost taste that unrivaled animosity floating through the air.

“This place... It’s clear the people who summoned us here have some deeper, ulterior motive. Unlike you carefree bunch, I’ve no intention of playing prisoner and servant to some enigmatic higher power. You and your comrades, of all the people here, should understand--I will not rest until I have the answers I seek.”

❝ I stopped knowing what to fight against. ❞

❝ What exactly does a friend do? ❞

❝ Yes, but my promise is more sincere than your smiles. ❞

❝ I have never been so delighted as I was today. ❞

❝ What stones laid in childhood become the foundation legacies are built on? ❞

❝ If you are too weak to stand being hit and too stupid to avoid it, then you deserve more pain. ❞
