I'm getting pretty tired of this shit. [ someone sounds worn out and irate. ]

I can't wrap my head around this being... a second chance. I just can't.

[ a deep sigh. ]

Is anyone else around here like... dead where they come from? How do you even deal with this?

[The feed flicks on to show a teenage girl fiddling nervously with her red hair. Her shockingly green eyes slide shut as she flashes a smile that’s bright enough to blot out most of the nervousness in her eyes.]

Hello! My name is Chrysi Maymont. I’m one of the newest members of Sigyn house. I’m a witch…or I was at least, my powers seem to be tethered down pretty tightly here…but anyways!

[She shakes her head to get back on track.]

I’m not sure if any member of the Occult World here is familiar with the Hotel, but even if aren’t, please know that I will do all I can to make your stay here as enjoyable as possible. If there’s one thing I can’t let slide, it’s an unhappy guest!

[She giggles lightly, brushing back an errant curl.]

…I’m afraid I’m not too familiar with the hiring process in this world, since I’ve only ever worked at the Hotel, so if somebody would be so kind as to give me a short tutorial on that, I would be very grateful.

I hope we all get along well, thank you!

[...for everything that's been going on here - how happy he is with the people he's met, the job he has now, all that - Rion looks surprisingly melancholy when his face pops up on everyone's communicators again.

The boy comes bearing a question.]

So... a few people said time stops when we get here, at home.

When we go back, will we... remember any of this? Will we have gotten older, or will this all not matter, even if we do... save everything and fix everything?



...



[After a while...]

[Filtered to the Goddess Freya]

What happens to us after everything's... saved?

...Gods and Goddesses, huh.

[ the man snorts, incredulous. ]

I guess I picked the wrong religion.
