Red Hallway
The hallway connects to the dining room. Different doors sprout out in different directions. Some are just closets, but others lead to more interesting locations. There's a bend near the end of the hall, leading to the dorms.
Hitori: Stopping in the hallway, a panicked Hitori clings to the wall. They breathe rapidly, a million thoughts buzzing in their head.
(What was that? Who was that?? Why did they...snap back at me? Why did they look like me??)
Their mind was practically racing with alarm, questions popping up and running away quicker than they could process them.
And just when the silence around them became deafening...
Clober: "Hitori! Hitor-"
Clober turned the corner, nearly tripping as she ran. "Hitori! Are you okay? Why are you freaking out!?"
Hitori: "Did you not see it!? Someone...it was like a second me! But, but it didn't have..."
They reach up towards the bar over their face, feeling it warp and warble.
(Does it want to come apart? Is something trying to come out? It almost...hurts...)
Clober: "Wh..."
She stares in confusion for a moment...before spitting more words out.
"T-That was obviously a hallucination! You snapped at it and everything, right!? It couldn't have snapped back!"
Hitori: "B...But it did...!"
Clober: "...Oh. That- well-"
Grrr.
"Your mind has to be playing tricks on you! There's no other way that-"
Some more footsteps. Clober turns around...and looks even more peeved at the sight of The Destroyer watching the two of them.
True Destroyer: "W-Wait, hold on! There's...there's something important you have to know-"
Clober: "What the hell do you want!? I dont think we'd trust your words, anyways."
True Destroyer: "Says you." He retorts. "This is important!"
Clober: ...
Despite her scowl, she sighs. "Touché. What silly thing are you on about?"
True Destroyer: "Well, uh..."
He shuffles his two sets of arms, wagging his tail a little. "...Paradi forgot to tell you something about the gas. It targets your past...your memories. It might even target the ones you don't remember! That stuff is strong; I know, because I put it here!"
Hitori: "M-Memories!? What about me but...yellow...and without this bar...and weirdly terrifying to look at, has to do with memories?"
True Destroyer: "Well how much do you remember about yourself before you got here? Huh?"
Hitori: "...Uh..."
They just...stand there for a few seconds, trying to pry something out of their brain.
"...Not a lot."
True Destroyer: "Then, well...maybe what you saw had something to do with your past. I'm only saying this because...I don't know a thing about you, either! Just like Paradi said, you just kind of showed up and we all rolled with it. You might've not even done anything wrong!"
He scratches his back, nervously parting his gaze.
"...Wow...kind of hypocritical of us to put you through this then, huh...?"
Hitori: "Wh- but, how!? I think I've always been purple...maybe. And I d-don't know where this censor bar came from, but..."
...Their confidence in themselves is fading. They go silent again, contemplating even moreso. Practically begging their brain to unlock for them...
???: (a cacophony emits from the interaction booth again.)
Clober: "..."
She's quiet, staring at Hitori. "...Uh, buddy, how many problems do you have?? I thought you were the sanest one here!"
Hitori: "A-Apparently not! I'm not doing too hot! Something's wrong, but, gah...I can't figure it out!!"
They turn to The Destroyer again, a tear dripping from their face. "What else can I do, huh? Even the voice in my head is scared...I just...I don't know!"
True Destroyer: That heart eye of his glows again.
"...I...I would help you more, but...I can't. I don't know what your deal is. Maybe someone has a solution, but...how to reach it is out of my control-"
A loud sound. An almost deafening noise, coming from...
That damn booth. The quarreling ceases, all eyes fixated on the noise.
Clober: "Are they, uh...doing something in there? What's the racket about!?"
???: "I DIDN'T KNOW IT WOULD BE THAT LOUD, SORRY. TRYING TO GET YOUR ATTENTION."
???: "LET'S WORKSHOP THIS, OKAY?!"
Hitori: "...I...think I'm gonna go to my dorm for a bit."
They stop leaning on the wall, stumbling further down the hall. "I'll be fine, really, just...make sure those deities are okay for me, yeah?"
True Destroyer: He hears more faint words coming from the booth, and gives a timid nod.
Clober: "Fine, fine. Go lie around and have a crisis...b-but make it a good crisis! Be fine!"
Hitori: ...They can't help but chuckle, before quietly padding off.
