COMMUNION

Reaching out to Rin is like stepping into a moonlit parlor. Everything is quiet, muted, and neatly tucked away. Almost like a "lobby," of sorts to keep visitors away from the rest of what goes on in her head... and her heart. This space is cool, and placid. Much like the surface of a lake in winter as it reflects the pale glow of the celestial bodies hanging above it in the sky.

A reflection of serenity rather the true thing. A mask of elegance to hide anything that may be unsightly. Anything that may betray her.

[ That was... abrupt. She might even feel bad if she was a marginally better person. The Sir still manages to get a slight blush out of her where the flirtiness didn't, but she takes the chance to put some more physical distance between them as well. ]

Nah. [ There are still plenty of questions left unanswered, but now isn't the time. ] I'll see ya around, Red.

[ And she's gone as quick as she came, dematerializing to pass through the wall again; all traces of her mana receding into the distance. ]

[Tohsaka will take roughly twenty minutes to wallow over the end of that encounter. Over how Mordred was complaining yet still didn't seem to want to seek her out as a Master (a failure on Rin's part, Tohsaka will assume), over how she didn't even press for her name, and the realization hits her just how hard it's going to be to survive in this place.

And how, out of all the people from her home, she's the only one. Weren't there people who deserved it more? Sakura could reinvent herself here — her soul reborn without her old body littered with worms. Or Emiya... he could have fit in so well with the Meridians and not ever have to doubt himself. He wouldn't be alone, because there'd be people with the same ideal supporting him.

She spirals. For a good twenty minutes the vibes are absolutely atrocious in that dorm. But after that? She gets back to it. Because what else is there to do but survive? If she just rolled over and let herself be snuffed out it would be even more of an insult to the people who didn't get to make it this far.]
