Chapter Text
A young girl with short black hair and with deep purple tips had her eyes closed, singing,
“Oh my Clematis. Hope bloomed from the abyss.”
She stood alone in a field, leaves blowing around her, when she heard another person and shot open her eyes to look at them.
“Oh my Clematis, always be by my side.”
Another young girl, with pink braids, fading into a light green. The girl looked over and smiled brightly.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A bright stage, with two women in the centre. The short one with black short hair and deep purple ends. The taller one, pink braids fading into a light green. The shorter woman was in a short white dress, with puffy sleeves. The other was in a black dress, with a flowing skirt, and just above, a blue belt. But what stood out most, was the mesh like top, over the black corset.
“You bloomed from the huge black wall.”
Pink surrounded them, forming into microphones.
“The galactic starlight in your eyes spreads out.”
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The two young girls are chasing each other to a river.
“In the endless darkness.”
The girl with braids was in the river, holding up a robotic type of fish in her arms. The shorter girl was laughing loudly, clutching her stomach.
“I found you with your scent.”
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The girl with braids runs up to her friend, holding out her hands. “PASS” The other girl's hands seemed to do the same. The girl with braids suddenly tackled her friend in a hug onto the ground, both laughing.
“Even if I sleep in infinity, don't leave my universe.”
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The shorter woman on the stage opened her eyes. and turned to the woman beside her. The other girl had the same idea.
Both girls are now singing in harmony.
“Oh my Clematis. Hope bloomed from the abyss.”
Way above the stage, was a hologram of both of the girl’s younger photos. And in the middle, said, “VS” The hologram flickered.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Do you believe in God?”
Debris was everywhere. Humans fleeing from some type of UFOs that were destroying the place humans once called home. Smoke raised from the areas the UFOs struck.
“Once upon a time, mankind believed in God and had religion. They believe that things cannot be solved by human strength, are the will of God.”
A stage again, with one single person in the centre pointing to the crowd.
“Believed that the entire universe revolved around the Earth.”
A sunny sky, a hand moved to cover the sun, another hand brought it back down to the ground between them. The two girls giggled at each other.
“Thought that place that connected with the sky, which they could not dare to reach, was the place where the gods lived.”
------------------------------------------------------------------------
An alien brought a human down an escalator, she was on a leash.
“From the moment humanity left the universe, we all forgot God.”
The girl seemed to want to cry.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A testing room, with multiple kids in a line, singing.
“But if belief in God is human,”
The girl with braids focused on the girl at the end of the line,
“If all I can do as a human is to believe…”
The girl with braided hair eyes sparkled.
“My God.”
The short girl stuck her tongue out playfully.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The shorter girl on the stage smiled.
“My universe.”
The hologram showed a score. “87/86”
The stage lit up as both girls smiled at each other.
Blood suddenly splattered on Mitsuri's face. Her eyes widened. Her legs felt incredibly weak. They buckled and she collapsed on the stage.
“Oh my Clematis..”
The aliens in the crowd cheered loud and wildly.
“Hope withered in the abyss..”
Two guards came onto the stage, pointing guns at Mitsuri as they approached.
“Oh my Clematis, please stay by my side.”
Mitsuri hunched over Shinobu's body. A guard approached from behind, clipping on a white collar around her neck.
Mitsuri couldn’t look away from the body.
“My Clematis.”
------------------------------------------------------------------------
ROUND 1, a hologram showed.
Mitsuri’s and Shinobu's photos flickered on.
Only Shinobu’s flickered off.
