shiningworld | first dream [Filtered away from Smile except for the last part]

[The feed turns on, showing a very annoyed-looking Sabitsuki on the screen. She's just walking around the island, kicking sand with her boots. One might notice the slightly rusty pipe she's holding at her side protectively.]

[She lets out a huff and turns on the filter. No use in letting him hear this...]

Hey. All of you who live here. You might have seen a guy with red crosses on his eyes and black hair and a really wide smile a little while ago...do me a favor and stay away from him. He will not be your friend. Believe me...I know.

[She grits her teeth, looking almost like she's about to boil over with fury at the very thought of him, but then she calms, only a trace of annoyance in her eyes.]

Just. Stay away if you know what's good for you.

[And then she turns on the filter for Smile, staring at the camera levelly with bright red eyes. She didn't like doing this, talking with him...it made her skin crawl.But it had to be done.]

You and me...don't even think about coming after me, you hear? What's done is done. Leave me alone and go back to the world you came from, okay?

...You're not real. You're just from my mind, and you'll never be the real thing for me, so just stop it.

Stop it.

[the only thing Sabitsuki will see is a door. Smile has the camara facing away from him.

he knows Sabitsuki but that's the problem. he's from your mind. wherever your mind is, he tends to follow. it's very much his real home. but...]

I'll try.

[try and fail.]

Good.

[She can't bear to look at the camera either, because while he does get under her skin like anything else...there are feelings surrounding this that she can't quell. Feelings that aren't madness and rage and fury.]

[Feelings that she thought she would forever live without after what happened to him. And it was easy when seeing him there, because he was just part of her mind, but now he's in the flesh and talking and there's a pain in her chest that is very real.]

[Good luck on getting her to admit it, though.]

[the camara shakes and it flips over to face Smile before he turns it off. the only thing to note is that he's not smiling anymore.

he's not real, does not exist in reality but Smile was still capable of feeling pain, physical or emotional and right now things hurt more than the pain of being hit with a pipe.

maybe he really should find a way back...reality wasn't a place for something that wasn't real.]

[She notices it, alright. And when she'll wake up later that night with tears on her face, she'll just hug the pillow and try to pretend that they're not there.]

[Oh, Smile. One day she'll find the courage to face him and express what she truly felt. But today is not that day.]

[Maybe soon, though. Maybe soon.]
