For the dark meme 44 with...Serkoma please?
I’ll do my best…!
44. Mirrors (Doppelgangers; mirror-versions of a character/setting where everything is it’s opposite; mirror ghost games such as Bloody Mary; narcissism, etc.)
The whole thing really had been quite frightening. A blood red sky, a road littered with bodies, the resounding screams mixed with cackling laughter, a horrendous stench in the air…
And now, pale fingers run through his hair. A voice that both is and isn’t his own is humming. He’s shivering, burying his face in his reflection’s lap.
“Ah, oh dear.”
His other self giggles fondly, stroking his skull and trembling shoulders.
“Breathe, Nagito.”
Komaeda inhales shakily.
“It’s not as bad as the plane crash,” Servant supplies helpfully. “After a while, it all grows commonplace. Normal. Dull. Boring.”
“…it’s so sickening… I feel like I’m going to be ill…”
“That’s normal, too!” Servant chirped. “Never let go of those feelings of abject disgust, Nagito! Lest you give into complete despair, aha!”
Despair… This world beyond that cursed mirror is…a world of despair.
“It’ll be okay,” Servant croons, rubbing along his spine. “Hope will win in the end. That’s how I can relax. Despair will be burnt to the roots, and the world will be so beautiful. You’ll see.”
It’s completely unstable. My other self, too, is completely unstable.
But, despite that, he does end up relaxing, because Servant’s touch and warmth is inexplicably comforting.
At a time like this… He’s the only one I can rely on. Hope… Have hope…
Idly, he wondered if anyone back home was worried about him. Maybe Hinata?
Aha. As if.
Sighing, he once again nuzzled into Servant’s lap.
“Just wait,” Servant says cheerfully. “Someday, this world will surely be far more beautiful than your own!”
“M… Mm…”
If I manage to escape… I don’t think I’ll be able to leave him behind anyway.
