Back Home: Path of Falsehood
A dark void, with a cross in the center. That's what she saw before her. And below it, the seven special Mogekos.
"Ah, what travesty!" Proclaimed a mocking voice. "Thou hast repaid those who aided ye instead with death! Such sin weighs heavy as darkness..."
As if she didn't already know that. She could only guess the voice belonged to Lord Prosciutto... which, if she's correct, is just a fancy name that arrogant asshole of a king gave himself.
"Alas! Thou must receive punishment! For thou hast lost the way of truth!"
The fool. He really thinks himself a god? Hahahaha... An almighty idiot, that's what he is. She ought to replace him- why, she'd do a much better job of running this place than those whiny kindergarteners.
"Now, proceed into the world of falsehood!"
...Welp, not like there's anything else to do.

"Brother." There he stands. Is the old you gone now?
"Welcome home. When you took off, it startled me." Brother. "I'm sorry," she said. Your mind has broken.
She walked closer. "I... won't go anywhere anymore."
He sighed. "That's good to hear."
...Still? Another memory?
"YAAAaaaHHHHHaaaAAAHHH!"
"S...Stop, brother... Wait..." she pleaded.
Didn't work.
...She felt her brother's knife.
Stab, stab, stab.
As he sunk deep inside her.
Blood spilled out. Her throat filled up, her mouth so wet.
"Hahaha."
Then she awoke, and ran away. That's how it went.
Honestly, perhaps that was her comeuppance for everything she'd done. She would get to feel the pain of those she betrayed and slaughtered, like they were nothing. After they helped her.
And her ultimate fate, she thought now, would be to suffer that pain for all eternity. What a deliciously ironic hell.
Perhaps that's why she kept waking up. The universe wanted to torture her, to break her, as punishment for her past misdeeds. It all makes sense. She deserves this....NO.
She won't stand for this. She won't resign herself to this sad fate.
No. NonononoNONOnoNononononoNONOnononONOONONOOOONONOoooOOOO

"...Brother. Why... Bro... ther... why... why... why... didn't you dodge?"
"Why...?"said her brother. "Because I... wanted... to end it all. I'm sorry... for causing you so much trouble."
"No...it's not like that at all!"
"I'm very happy you put an end to it. Sorry things didn't go so well."
"Brother...we finally... meet again. Welcome home, brother. Good night."

The Mogeko, at last, finished telling his story.
"How was it? Was it amusing? This book really brings me back. I wrote it, you know. It was popular in the castle, for a time." He went on to talk about happiness, in a philosophical manner. Strange creature, he was. "What about you... hey... Hasn't it always... been that way? Did your story... end on that day?"
Obviously. Now she's strapped to a bed. Not like she could leave if she wanted to.
"Well, Yonaka?"
"Haha. Hahahaha. AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA! I see! Guess NOT, huh! Thought you'd get better with all those pills, though! But nah, if your mind itself's broken, nothing Moge-tan can do!"
He laughed even more. And more. And more! Shut Up!
"Hey Yonaka! Hey Yonaka! What should we play today! Oh? Can't hear me!"
SHutupshutupshUtUPshutUUP
"Gets kinda tiring, you know! Putting on a one-man show!"
ShUT I T
"Isn't that nice! You get to sleep happy... And I get to PLAY with you! Don't worry, I'll ALLLLWAYS be here at your side! Sleep your life away with all that relief, Yonaka! Come on, let's play! With Moge-tan! FOREEEVEEERRR!"
NONONONONOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
