- 88 [Action]

[fortunefail]

[With all these newcomers about, Yuan simply isn't comfortable staying at home. Against all better judgment, he ventures out into the village to have a look. Catch him anywhere, any time!

Later, he'll return to house #8 to find it ravaged, after Kratos had a little 'argument' with Lord Kvar. Wonderfully foreboding. What other surprises may lie in wait here?]

Surrender yourself to me.

[Just slightly, she holds out her hand. It's virtually the only movement she's made during the entire conversation.]

[Something about the word "surrender" has Yuan snap back to reality again, if only a bit. Both Lloyd and Martel have already accused him of 'giving up'. Of lying down and accepting his fate without fighting back.

He's being controlled. This woman... She's controlling him.]

I... I can't. I won't! [He takes a step back again.]

[nihilconcerto]

[She makes no move to stop him. She only says in that same emotionless voice:] Do not deny yourself the peace and freedom from your sins I offer.

All lives must come to a close. Even time itself will someday end. You cannot resist the way of the universe.
