@everybodysfool | A Final Test?
There had been a level of hope that the trials were over at this point. What more could be thrown at him now? His choice had been made, he was a sellout and there wasn’t much more that could be done about it. He was in that God’s pocket for as long as he remained useful. There didn’t seem like there could be anything else that could be thrown at him. Until this. The warning, as always, had been vague at best, ‘Overcome the unchosen path’. While that gave no answers, Akira had the assumption that meant he was going to be forced to face what he had given up.
Whatever that was. They had stood no chance against the Holy Grail, and no matter how many times that repeated, he doubted they ever would. So what was he to face? The forms of his dead friends? The world being much more twisted than the one he had sold out? That wasn’t much to overcome. However, that wasn’t the image he was greeted with.
He had not expected to step into a Mementos like world and face himself. Only, he knew it wasn’t himself. It was... a different him. One that had made a different choice?
“...The last thing one must overcome is himself...” He couldn’t help but chuckle a little.
