TW: graphic descriptions of violence, blood, child endangerment and psychological torture.
(You open your eyes. You're on the ground.)
✨️: ...There. Are you happy, now?
🔷️: Wh.. what was that..?
✨️: The truth. About... about what I am.
✨️: ...My real name is Siffrin. I'm... from somewhere else. Another world, I think.
✨️: I... I don't know why, or how, but-
✨️: I got stuck in a time loop. Having to go through the same events over and over again.
✨️: You all were... my allies. We were up against a horrible villain going only by the name of "The King".
✨️: I watched him kill you. All of you.
✨️: An endless loop of blood and death.
✨️: I wished... for things to be different.
✨️: And then... I woke up in this world, changed.
✨️: ...The Universe only gave me one goal.
✨️: To put all of Vaugarde to sleep.
✨️: When I saw you all so... so happy, I- I couldn't-
🎀: ...So in reality, this whole time, you were...!
🪨: W-wait. How do we know this isn't a trick?
✨️: I don't know how to prove it to you, Fighter.
✨️: ...I don't know how much of Siffrin is even left in me.
✨️: I just... I want you to know I understand. I get it if you don't believe me.
✨️: I'm a horrible person.
(Your Siffrin steps forward.)
(They walk up to the other Siffrin, and...)
✨️: I'm afraid it's a little too late for that.
(Your Siffrin is pushed back, landing on the ground.)
(A dagger is sticking directly out of their heart.)
(Before you can do anything, tendrills of pure darkness coil around you.)
(Judging by the sounds around you, the others have been ensnared as well.)
(You hear Siffrin breathing heavily.)
✨️: You must've thought you were sooooo smart, huh?
✨️: Did that feel good? Did it feel good to pity someone else for once? To feel like your worthless little life is better than someone else's?
✨️: I've watched you with your cute little family over, and over, and over.
✨️: So blissfully unaware of anything happening around them, just blindly walking through life with the help of pure luck.
✨️: And now you think you can just... fix this? Fix me? Undo what damage has been done!?
✨️: Oooooh, Stardust. You poor, lost little monarch.
✨️: Do me a favor, and stay dead this time, hm?~
(You close your eyes, you can't watch this..!!)
(No, no, no... this isn't happening, it's not real!!)
(it's not happening it's not happening it's not happening)
🪨: SIF! SIFFRIN!!! SIFFRIN!!!!
(You can hear the Star laugh.)
✨️: HA! THIS IS WHAT YOU GET!!!
✨️: AHHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
(it's not real it's not real it's not real it's not)
✨️: Why don't you take a look at this?~
(Despite your better judgement, you open your eyes-)
(....Siffrin isn't moving anymore.)
(You feel the tendrills forcibly move your head up and down.)
✨️: Now. Listen closely, hm?~
✨️: If you EVER. Try that again?
✨️: I'll make sure to force you to watch me kill him.
✨️: Over, and over, and over again.
✨️: Oh, right, how could I forget!~
✨️: Here, I'll help you loop back.
✨️: See you next time, little Housemaiden!
(You feel a tendril gently wrap around your neck and
