FINALE
End of the Tale
It's... over. Mostly, anyway. A decision has reluctantly been made by the group about the doll that started this mess and it seems that, perhaps, it's time to at least get a grip on what's going to come next. Not just for you but for everyone here. Nanami has cleared the way to the Academy and the Little Brothers are there to lend hands if needed against any stray monsters.
Take a deep breath of sea air. It's been a stressful seven weeks but maybe you'll be able to put all this behind you for good soon. It might take days, weeks, months, or even years yet... It's a small comfort but when the night comes it's a moonless night.
It seems the game of the Kaguya Doll is truly over for good.

Thank you for your participation in Round 2, everyone! This is your golden ending log. You may celebrate, cry, mock Kakuya or Father. Father is still in his cube and the sheep aren't exactly happy with him and will bring him up for you to throw water at. This is a post purely for Round 2. Tomorrow at 12 PST/3 EST we will be posting a reunion post for R1, R2, and castmates either played by other players in this game or NPCed by them. We hope you've enjoyed this round as much as we have.

I - THANK YOU - YOU. YOU. "BANK." [Tries to do "E"-"BANK" but can't remember letters.] YOU. "BANK". YOU.

cw abuse cult discussion
[She nods and lets the other girl adjust. She's gotten used to breaking what she has to say into small pieces to confirm comprehension, but if the accommodation this time is Emma taking in the conversation slowly through her exhaustion, so be it. Jeanne finds herself easily repeating and rephrasing a couple of the hardest words so that the rhetoric should flow comfortably even with a couple moments missed, if Emma is too tired to ask for help herself. Perhaps as a cult figurehead she's gotten too much practice giving speeches.]
"Jeanne is in a cult." Cult. "The X-Laws are a cult." Cult. This is the fundamental fact of my life now. Not "Jeanne is pious, Christian", not "Jeanne has powers, Shaman". The core truth is called a cult.
I had no idea what this word cult meant at first. Cult is an insult. I was furious that they did not appreciate the sacrifice I was making for them, for everyone in the world. They were nonbelievers, almost like enemies.
Then... I started to have doubts. And that was even more agonizing to me. If my training was "abuse". If pain is always bad, if there is no good reason to hurt, no compromise to make when asked to bleed. Then why? Why did they scold me for repeating the teachings, as if I just didn't realize that two plus two equals four...?
I began to feel selfish. To forget why they would hate me. Should hate me. I was almost ready to turn my back on the entire idea. To think that nobody could ever understand, that I should only respect the people who tried to meet me and my beliefs in the middle. The others may be without sin, but they were not my friends.
But I thought it over... And I realized... Something that could make me soften my heart towards everyone again. Because there was one person with a stronger sense of justice than anyone. Who knew right from wrong every time and always tried her best to make the world a better place. Who helped.
[A small, soft smile.]
BANKS - YOU
