Trial Room
You already know what this room looks like.
Stranger: ...Yeah, he vomits.
He just straight up vomits, stumbling backwards as he tries to hold the rest of it in.
Don: "W-Whuh oh!! Stranger!?"
He and Mixzo run over, helping him along so he doesn't faint again.
MX-Z0: "Stay strong, Stranger, stay strong..."
Dax: They have their eyes closed. As if trying to block the world out from around them...they lick Rue's arm, almost instinctually. Rue doesn't seem to mind, staring at them with a slight frown.
Hitori: "...Why...Why!?"
They stare at Paradi and The Destroyer, growling. A strange blue glow has been added to their censored eye, thumping their tail.
"Why do you make us DO this!? I don't...I don't even know why I'm here...I don't want to hurt ANYONE!"
Paradi: "...Oh, Hitori...to be honest, nobody invited you here. You just showed up with the rest of them, and now it's too late to let you go."
Hitori: "W-What does that mean!? Please! I NEED answers! I'll...I'll...I'll KICK your ASS!"
Their words look to fall on deaf ears. Paradi looks to not be paying attention...and the prawn looks to have no attention at all.
Ivan: ...
He's standing there...exhausted. Hopeless. Keeping his feathery arms close to his side, he watched everyone around him struggle to stay together.
Arsenic: ...Until someone comes up to him.
"Ivan. You're not gonna break, are you?"
Ivan: "H...Huh?"
Arsenic: "I won't let you do that, you know."
She looks up at him. Where there was normally so much aggression and strain...there was something else.
Ivan didn't know what to call it. Confidence, perhaps? Trust?
"We need to burn it down, like I said I would. We need to put this behind us, or we've lost."
Ivan: "...Right..."
He finds the strength in him to smile.
"Thanks, Arsenic. Didn't know you'd be the one in the most high spirits here, hahah..."
Arsenic: "I'm full of surprises."
She looks upon everyone else, now. Stranger seems to have not fallen on his ass, Don and Mixzo talking over things with him. Dax is still grooming Rue's arm, and Hitori...seems to be getting confronted by Clober of all people.
Clober: "Be normal!! Please!! Be normal!!" She shakes them, barely able to grab their shoulders.
Hitori: "Auaauauaghj- I am being normal!! I'm just...gh...!! Stop!!"
Clober: Eventually, Clober relents. "I wasn't going to let you punch Paradi in the face, even if I REALLY want to! You'd just die, stupid! That guy has crazy powers now, or whatever!"
Hitori: "I...I guess...please don't shake me again."
The two of them walk back over to the others...as The Destroyer watches.
The Lost: Paradi shrugs, and shifts into their birdly form. Flying away to leave the group to their devices, they catch an eye on The Destroyer's sad little face...
True Destroyer: ...Quietly, they take a step forward to the others. The another. And another.
Stranger: And Stranger notices.
"...Destroyer? Are you alright?"
He walks forward to try and meet him.
Don: "W-Whuh-? Why are you worrying about them!? They put us all here, right? Ahahah...maybe we should, uh, stay away...?"
Stranger: He looks back at everyone else. "He's harmless like this, I believe. If we really want to be a team and beat this game, we have to stay together. Nobody can be left behind anymore."
MX-Z0: "..."
She nods.
"...Destroyer, you don't have to be separate from us now. We aren't saying we forgive you...but please. Come with us."
True Destroyer: "...M...Mom...S...Sorry..."
He continues speaking nonsense, as he walks past everyone, heading to the elevator.
Stranger: ...He sighs, but follows, gesturing to the others to go along with him.
