Restriction
"Oh..." Italy muttered in disbelief.
"Long time no see, Italy." Holy Roman Empire said with a kind smile.
"Y-yeah. Um, I... I mean, I..." Italy hesitated unsure how to address his childhood crush.
"Italy." Holy Roman Empire said holding up a hand to stop him from fretting.
"What?" Italy asked twiddling with his fingers.
"You don't have to talk to me as if we were still children. I know everything." Holy Roman Empire told him with a grin.
"..." Italy gave him a measuring look before breaking out into a grin. "Okay. Long time no see... Holy Roman Empire."
"Yes." he nodded pleased.
"You're... all grown up." Italy pointed out.
"Because you wished so." Holy Roman Empire pointed out.
"What?" Italy asked confused.
"This is a place where your wishes are fulfilled." He said gesturing to their surroundings. "There was no way I could win against that guy when I was little. That's why I asked you for that favor, Italy."
"Was it you who showed me the way just now?" Italy asked.
"Yes. I was able to repel it somewhat, but not completely... I'm sorry." he apologized.
"N-no!" Italy immediately protested. "It's okay! Um..."
"?" Holy Roman Empire gave him a confused look.
"Th-this is kinda awkward for me." Italy admitted with a blush. "You being a grown-up, I mean."
"I can imagine." he responded reasonably. "If you don't like it, you can wish for me to be little again. You would probably feel more at ease with my younger self."
"Veh?! Uh, n-no! I mean, this is definitely awkward, but... How can I put this...?" Italy said trying to think of an explanation. "I'm glad that I can look at you in the eyes without having to look down." Italy gave him a warm smile after admitting it.
"I see. That's good." Holy Roman Empire answered closing his eyes with a gentle smile gracing his face. Italy smiled before glancing around at the beautiful flowers and trees.
"So, where are we?" he asked.
"Hm? Oh... right. Sorry, but we're keeping them waiting. Let's go back first." Holy Roman Empire said with a sigh.
"?" Italy blinked in confusion. "Who are you talking about?"
"You will know if you come with me. Let's go." Holy Roman Empire told him gently.
"Oh, o-okay." Italy said nervously as he silently began to follow the Holy Roman Empire.
"-ight. Then we'rr just take a quick rook inside and..." Japan said staring up at the mansion from the entrance.
"Japan!? And Prussia?!" Italy exclaimed pleasantly surprised.
"Hey, Italy. I'd been wondering if something had happened, since you just went off into the forest all of a sudden." Prussia said looking relieved.
"What?" Italy blinked confused.
"Was something bothering you?" Japan asked concerned.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting. Italy just thought he had seen something." Holy Roman Empire lied with put upon sigh.
"Well, if you were there with him, I guess it's okay. Kesese!" Prussia chuckled.
"Anyway... I thought it was just a rumor. I never thought that we wourd actuarry find it." Japan continued.
"It has such a desolate feel... Not bad!" Prussia grinned as Italy glanced around feeling something off.
"Is there something wrong?" Holy Roman Empire asked.
"Ah... there isn't any bicycle around? I feel... like there should be one..." Italy admitted with a frown before shrugging it off. "It's not important, never mind."
"I don't think it's very interesting." Holy Roman Empire responded to Prussia as he eyed Italy from the corner of his eyes. "Let's just take a quick look and go back already."
"Oh..." Italy frowned.
"Indeed. Sharr we go in, then?" Japan suggested before he followed Prussia inside.
"Wait—" Italy shouted taking a step forward but the door had shut behind Japan.
"Italy, there is no need to hurry." Holy Roman Empire told him.
"What? B-but..." Italy protested.
"This is as if you were in a dream. Except for one thing, everything will go as you like." Holy Roman Empire said. "That's why you don't have to worry about them."
"..." Italy stared at him with a small frown before sighing. "But I can't not worry. I have to go after them."
"Even though it's a dream?" Holy Roman Empire asked with a frown.
"Because it's a dream!" Italy told him with a firm nod.
"..." Holy Roman Empire eyed him before his gaze softened and he gave a knowing smile. "I thought you would say that.
"Heheh! Well, now, let's go in! Then you can tell me all about the 'rules' in this world.
"All right." Holy Roman empire grinned with a nod not dropping the grin until Italy walked into the mansion. 'As I thought, he adapts easily... Did what he's gone through make him that way?' Holy Roman empire gave a sigh as he gazed sadly at the mansion. 'Please figure it out soon...'
"...!" Spain panted struggling to remain upright as he eyed the creature floating before him. "Eesh, how many of them are there? Even Boss Spain's strength has limits!" he muttered letting his eyes wander around the room. "You're the last on, right? Brace yourself, then! I'm in a hurry!" he shouted before charging at the creature. He panted heavily as he watched the creature fade away. "Yeah! I win! Romano! Boss Spain killed them all!" he cheered turning toward Romano who was lifelessly staring at the floor.
"..."
"Oh..." Spain muttered recalling what had happened. "Romano..." he sighed walking toward the sitting nation before kneeling in front of him placing a hand on his shoulder.
"..."
"Romano, don't you recognize me? Can't you hear me?" Spain asked concerned for the unresponsive nation.
"..."
"Damn it!" Spain shouted looking around the room frantically. "The magical circle to go back disappeared all of a sudden and now Romano's like this...! Just what on Earth is going on?!..." Spain sighed in defeat bowing his head. "Something must have happened to Ita and England... to say the least..." he muttered before freezing when he heard the door open.
"Huh? What are you doing here? You weren't at the world meeting..." England said confused as Halia walked over following him.
"!" Halia stared at the wide eyed before giving them a curious look.
"..." Spain frowned nervously. "Is that you, Kirkland? Erm..." Spain paused never having been given any other name for Halia. Despite this her eyes widened even more at this.
"What are you talking about?" England asked confused.
'No... of course this isn't the England and Halia from our timeline. Shit, this is bad...' Spain thought nervously as England looked over his shoulder.
"Isn't that Italy Romano?" England asked concerned.
"..." Halia bit her lip eyeing them uncertainly.
"...I can't tell you." Spain sighed.
"What?! But he looks just like—" England protested.
"L-listen, you have some strange powers, don't you? So, can't you give them to us?" Spain asked.
"What are you talking about?" England asked with a frown.
"W-we..." Spain stuttered.
"?" England crossed his arms expectantly.
"We... come from the future!"Spain exclaimed.
"What? I still have no idea what you're on about." England said with a confused frown.
"..." Japan bowed his head as Italy lay in his bed.
"..." Germany unable to tear his eyes away from his friends body.
"...So, it's stopped completely?" France asked partially still in denial by the stairs.
"Yes..." Japan informed him.
"I'm sorry... I should have kept calm..." England sighed staring at the wall with an unfocused gaze.
"No... I was too stubborn, too." America sighed clenching his fist. Russia gazed around the room spotting Prussia a bed away staring intently at Italy, China staring at the ground leaning against the wall and Dysis and Aleron standing beside the tied and gagged Halia who had been laid down on her bed. The mochi bounced between everybody's feet as it made it's way to Halia jumping on the bed and getting comfortable by her head.
"So, England is blind, Halia has magical bindings, Italy's heart isn't beating... There have been quiet a few casualties, huh? Can you not undo Halia's binds?" Russia asked.
"... I don't have enough magic to undo the spell." England sighed. "But the spell should wear off soon."
"That''s what you said an hour ago!" Aleron glared before sighing unable to bring himself to be upset at a blind man.
"..." Halia sniffled as she struggled against the bindings.
"Oh, Halia... Please be patient. You'll be able to move and talk soon." Dysis sighed gently tucking a lose hair away from Halia's face. China eyed the three quickly looking them over for any injuries before turning his gaze to Japan
"Japan, haven't you been through a series of battles? I can't tell you to go to sleep, but you should at least sit down." China told him.
"... No, I'm not... At any rate, now we..." Japan sighed unsure what to say.
"Italy is the only one who can go back in time, right? Though I heard something about England being able to do it, too..." Prussia muttered.
"Y-yeah..." England admitted shakily.
"Now that his magic power is next to zero, he can't do anything... Even if he made up for it with his life, I don't think it'd be enough." America suggested.
'Wait, hadn't America said that England could take magic from Halia?' Aleron thought refusing to say it out loud as he was feeling unsympathetic toward England.
"You're right... it wouldn't..." England admitted wondering what could be done.
"So, we can't go back in time... But c'mon, we can't just escape without Italy... Right, West?" Prussia said helplessly.
"..." Germany seemed unable to pay attention as he gazed sadly at his deceased friend.
"West." Prussia called out.
"What?" Germany muttered facing his brother with a blank stare.
"Were you listening?" Prussia asked concerned.
"Uh, no... Sorry..." Germany sighed going back to staring at Italy.
"Pull yourself together. This is a very important meeting to decide our future. You have to bear with it." Prussia sighed.
"Halia." Germany said suddenly.
"Mmm?" Halia blinked tilting her head slightly to look at Germany.
"You knew this was going to happen." Germany stated angrily. "You're constantly making comments and before England left, you had mentioned trying to recall..."
"..." Halia stared for a moment before doing her best to give a shrug.
"Are you really expecting her to respond to that when she can't even speak?" Aleron asked incredulous blocking Germany's view of Halia as he crossed his arms defiantly.
"Germany..." Japan said getting his attention.
"Sorry. I'm fine. I've grown up, too. I'm no longer the coward I used to be. I shouldn't blame Halia every time Italy dies..." Germany said softly before turning to Halia. "When you can, please. No more secrets."
'Every time?' Aleron mouthed in silent disbelief as Halia gave Germany a nod.
"..." France sighed before blinking as he searched around the room. "Oh?"
"S-so, what I'm trying to say is—" Spain said nervously.
"... You've got to be fucking kidding me." England interrupted.
"... What?" Spain blinked in shock.
"What the hell? Italy has rewound time? And you come from the future, and you want me to send you back?!" England asked in disbelief.
"Y-yes! And I think something really bad has happened in our timeline!" Spain confirmed hoping he would get help. "That's why I also want you to share some of your power with the England from our timeline—"
"Enough!" England yelled causing Halia to flinch. "Maybe this is just another past timeline to you, but to me..." England turned to Halia who hesitated before nodding. "To us... this timeline is everything!"
"Oh..." Spain blinked realizing how it sounded.
"And you're telling me to give you my magic, or else it'll go to waste because this timeline will definitely go into a time loop?" England demanded.
"N-no... I never said it'd come to that..." Spain stuttered.
"So, you're telling me to sacrifice this timeline?!" England shouted.
"..." Spain frowned feeling desperate but unsure what to do.
"Thank you so much for telling me how it works! We're in a critical situation, too! We have no time to care about you! Come on, Halia!" England said turning to leave. Halia hesitated glancing at Spain and looking behind him at Romano.
"England..." Spain said causing him to pause.
"I have nothing to do with your damn timeline!" England insisted stomping out the door.
"..." Halia glanced at the two before sighing and walking toward them. Reaching up she made Spain bend over as she kissed his cheek. "I don't know how to give you my magic." she said as scratches and bruises littered her body. "But I can at least take away anything that may hinder you before your England can save you." she turned her gaze toward Romano. "I'm sorry... but if I won't be any help to this timeline if I'm comatose like him... Good luck! I wish I could be more help..." she turned before he could respond and ran to catch up to England. When she was gone, Spain rubbed his cheek before giving a heavy sigh.
"... Oh, God. I guess my explanation was really that bad..." Spain said. "I ended up telling them everything because I was sure he would send us back, but... There's no guarantee that all time loops are the same. Well, I don't know what Halia did, but I feel in top shape again! I can at least protect Romano longer. But... was it just my imagination or did she have more scratches when she left compared to before she came in?"
"...S...pain..." Romano groaned out.
"!" Spain turned toward Romano. "Romano!"
"Sorry... Something... suddenly..." Romano tried to explain clutching at his chest.
"Is your heart okay?! Can you breathe all right?" Spain asked frantically.
"I'm... I'm fine. I don't really get it, but I think I was in an empty place and someone helped me..." Romano admitted staring at his hands.
"Well, then... can you stand up?" Spain asked offering a hand.
"Uh-huh..." Romano nodded accepting the hand to help him up.
"There isn't a scratch on you..." Romano commented in disbelief. "What about the monsters?"
"Boss Spain killed them all, all on his own!" Spain boasted. "Also past Halia kissed me on the cheek and took away all injuries! I can see what the others meant about her capabi—"
"... Spain..." Romano said staring at him.
"Hm? What is it?" Spain asked.
"I..."
"..." Canada frowned as he stared at the door of the upper right restroom.
"Ooh, there you are. What's up? We're in the middle of a meeting, you know." France said when he entered the restroom.
"Oh, France." Canada said softly turning to face him.
"What's up? You look sad." France asked concerned.
"...I..." Canada paused before sighing. "I'm the only one who's completely useless."
"Huh?" France blinked not having expected that.
"Everyone else has found their role, and yet, I... I can't help but wonder what I'm doing here..." Romano admitted with a sigh.
"Romano..." Spain blinked in shock.
"Veneziano has been doing all he can, and the potato eater, too, and that English bastard... and even the two girls... What am I doing here?! Why did I have the idea of coming here?!" he asked as he clenched his fist.
"I had no idea what America was thinking, and I couldn't do anything useful at all... and then..." Canada ranted before sighing in defeat. "And then... I thought... maybe you don't need me..."
"..." France watched him for a moment before tilting his head. "Do you want to be praised by someone?"
"What?" Canada blinked not having expected that particular response.
"Do you want someone to tell you what to do and then praise you for doing a great job?" France clarified. "If you want to be told what to do, I can think of many things for you to do. If you can accomplish them, will that make you happy?"
"..." Canada frowned looking down at Kumajirou who had been sitting at his feet quietly. "No."
"That may be the easy way, but... it's not quite what I had in mind, I guess..." Romano admitted in response to Spain's question.
"Huh?" Spain pushed on.
"Isn't there anything that no one but me can do? As if I were the only one who could do it..." Romano asked.
"Right." Spain smiled encouragingly.
"B-but I... I want to do something for him now!" Romano insisted.
"But don't you remember, Romano? One of the reasons why Ita's heart became lighter was because you came here for him. Dysis did a decent job, but she is not Italy." Spain explained.
"But he told me not to come..." Romano protested weakly.
"Aren't you both Italy?" Spain asked. "It makes me worried that you're risking your life, but I think it's very reassuring that you're here for your brother."
"You solved a lot of problems, didn't you? And you didn't do it because someone told you to, did you?" France asked raising an eyebrow. "It just occurred to you and you opened the path for us."
"..." Canada stared at him with wide eyes.
"Right? That's why there will definitely be another time when there's something only you can do, a path that only you can make." France explained with a grin. "Don't be impatient. No one will think you're useless or resent you for it."
"Something that only I can do, eventually..." Canada muttered.
"I'm telling you, it's okay!" France said giving him a wink. "You took after me with your silky hair, so I'm sure there'll be something great that no one but you can do!"
"Hahah..." Canada chuckled cheered up. "What does that have to do with anything?"
"You've been helping your little brother so much; compared to you, I'm the one who's that." Spain laughed. "As much as I show off, I get defeated pretty quickly!"
"Don't flatter yourself..." Romano sighed but gave a smile feeling better.
"Well, I think there must be something that only Boss Spain can do, too, but... I guess I must be the most useless of all." Spain admitted still grinning.
"Well, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to come here, so..." Romano sighed before admitting. "I guess you're not completely useless."
"Oh? Really? What did I do?" Spain asked confused.
"If it weren't for your wit, we wouldn't have assembled everyone and got them to come here, either..." Romano explained.
"And even now..." Canada explained.
"Hm?" France frowned confused.
"If it weren't for your advice, I'd probably be doing something stupid. That's why I'm really glad that you're here for me." Canada explained as he knelt down to pick up Kumajirou who was fussing.
"Oh, so I could actually be of help, too?" France said pleased.
"Yes!" Canada exclaimed.
"Is this proof enough for you, then?" France asked with a grin.
"What?" Canada blinked.
"No one is unneeded. There will definitely be a time when someone is needed for something, like now." France told him with a firm nod. "You just need to be patient, you know. Even if you feel sad."
"..." Canada gave him a long look before turning to look at Kumajirou in his arms. Blinking he turned back to France with a smile. "Okay."
"Canada!" America exclaimed slamming the door open.
"Whoa! Y-you startled me. What's the matter?" Canada asked shocked.
"What's the—You weren't at the meeting," America explained sighing with relief. "so I freaked out and started looking for you... So, you were here all this time..."
"I-I'm sorry. I just needed to think..." Canada admitted feeling guilty.
"Huh? You were here, too, France?" America asked getting distracted.
"How cruel of you!" France said dramatically. "I'm also a member who can't be lost when we make our escape, you know!"
'He never notices me because I don't stand out, and now...' Canada thought in disbelief.
"C'mon, let's go! If you're not there to say your sensible opinions, I'll end up doing something reckless again! Also Halia's constraints is going to wear off really soon and Germany wants to find out why her hunches always seem to be correct." America told them as he exited the restroom.
"See? It's your turn to shine." France said under his breath cheerfully.
"...Okay!" Canada whispered back.
"Huh? What happened to the meeting?" Canada asked coming out and noting that everyone appeared to be separated.
"We weren't going anywhere. We're taking a break. Otherwise, the way things are, we'd just end up losing our heads." England said turning around to where he believed Canada to be despite Canada being behind him.
"Canada wouldn't." America said certainly.
"Oh... r-right..." England said hesitantly turning to face where America's voice came from.
"What are you going to do about your eyes? You're not going to be like that forever, are you?" America asked concerned.
"I'm still thinking about it! My sight was taken to make up for the fact that my magic wasn't enough, so..." England trailed off.
"What, so it's like a distraint sort of thing? How lame of you." France sighed noting Halia, Dysis and Aleron approaching.
"I was really rash..." England admitted with a sigh. "And now we have to do something about Spain and Romano."
"So, he would need, like... a blood transfusion only instead of blood, magic?" Halia asked as they approached the group. "America had mentioned earlier that England would take my magic in previous timelines. So if he needs to replenish magic..."
"But you usually die when he does that!" Canada protested as the mochi grabbed onto the back of her shirt and tugged frantically. "I don't think... Sweetie Pie... agrees with that either..."
"Quick interruption. Halia, I am NEVER coming to you for help in naming my children. Just thought you should know." Aleron declared. "Seriously you named the Ditto you traded with me 'Copy' why?"
"What if he only takes enough to get rid of his eye problem? At least he won't be left defenseless if he's able to see." Halia compromised giving Aleron a quick glare as she tugged the mochi placing it on the table before walking back to the group.
"Well, if it's all right with you..." England began.
"Excuse me." China interrupted as he and Russia joined the group.
"Yes?" Canada asked.
"I have some business to take care of in the annex. Russia is coming with me." China informed them.
"All right, but what are you going to do?" France asked.
"He wants to solve a riddle. If you're worried, you can come along, you know. We won't mind." Russia said with a smile that said otherwise.
"We still have to figure out what to do about Spain," England said speaking to the wall. "so we'll leave you to it."
"Shi(1). We'll be right back, then. Maybe we'll find something new." China offered with a smile.
"I hope so." America replied.
"All right. So, Halia can take care of your eyesight. I don't feel comfortable with her giving you any more than that." Canada admitted. "But the magical circle is gone. What's the problem with that?"
"That circle is like a portal that connects the past and the present. If it disappears, one can no longer come back from the past." England explained.
"So, what you're saying is that Romano and Spain can't come back from the past, right?" America asked.
"That's right. If we don't find a way to bring them back, they'll stay in the past for the rest of their lives." England said nervously.
"What if Halia gave you just enough magic to get rid of your blindness AND to recreate the portal? That wouldn't kill her, would it?" France suggested.
"Well, I don't mind..." Halia agreed. "Anything I can do to help I will do. "
"If Halia is all right with that, then I suppose she can." Canada said hesitantly.
"Awesome! Halia's the best!" America cheered. "So, what does Halia have to do?"
"Well... the blindness should be easy enough but the portal to travel through time... We should use that only as a last resort..." England sighed unwilling to do that.
"Why?" Canada asked giving Halia a concerned look.
"Let's just say it will be incredibly painful on her part..." England told them.
"What? But... you were able to create a portal just fine before!" Dysis protested.
"Before I wasn't low on magic. That portal requires more than Halia can give me without a ritual being involved." England explained.
"... Well, how do I transfer magic too you?" Halia asked.
"... A kiss is the fastest and painless method to extract magic and is the most likely you'll be willing to do as opposed to... the other methods..." England coughed awkwardly.
"Uhhhh..." Halia blinked. "D-does it matter where I kiss you?" she asked avoiding eye contact despite he being blind.
"You've kissed France before." Aleron pointed out.
"He kissed me. There is a difference." Halia protested. "I've never..."
"Just do it and get it over with." Aleron said shoving her lightly.
"Fine." Halia sighed walking up to England and staring up at him. "You're going to need to bend down a little."
"Yes, of course..." England sighed before giving a small frown and lifting his hand to figure out where her head was. Halia rolled her eyes before grabbing his hand and placing it on her shoulder. She frowned when he moved his hand up to caress her cheek.
'He's stalling...' she thought annoyed as he gently moved his hand under her chin before abruptly forcing her to lift her chin and smashing his lips into hers. Everyone watched in anticipation as an orange glow surrounded Halia and slowly turned into a green as the kiss was prolonged before it seemed to migrate until it was surrounding England. As the glow faded away, the kiss ended abruptly as the mochi tackled Halia knocking her to the ground.
"Sweetie Pie?" Halia blinked sitting up as the mochi stared up at her with tears in it's eyes. It sighed shaking it's head in regret causing her to frown and rubbed her eyes feeling an itch. "How are you, England? Did it work?"
"Yes, I can see my vision returning. Thank you." England nodded offering his hand to help her up only to have it bitten by the angry mochi.
"Seems the little guy is jealous." France noted with a teasing smile.
"Sweetie Pie, what's gotten into you?" Halia frowned grabbing the mochi and pulling until it released England who, once released, glared at the mochi.
"Here, maybe I should." Canada said stepping forward to offer his hand. Halia placed the mochi on the ground and looked up to Canada before reaching out to grab his hand only to miss by several inches. Frowning, she squinted before reaching out again and successfully grabbing his hand to be pulled up.
"Halia, are you okay?" Dysis asked noting the unusual behavior. America's eyes widened as he quickly approached Halia holding up three fingers.
"Halia... how many fingers am I holding?" America asked pushing down the feeling of horror. Halia turned facing to his left.
"...Three." She answered confidently after a moment. America frowned not liking the pause before her answer. Lifting both his hands holding two fingers out in one hand and keeping the three in his other hand.
"And now?" America asked again. Halia rolled her eyes looking even further away from him.
"...Five... Why are you aiming at England and asking me?" Halia asked as she squinted.
"So you can see?" America asked ignoring the question.
"Yeah. It's a little blurry but I can still see. Why?" Halia asked frowning.
"You're out of focus... America is right in front of you." Aleron told her with an uneasy frown not liking.
"What?" Halia asked turning to Aleron as she squinted even further. "..."
"Halia?" Canada said stepping forward as he eyes suddenly became wide open in horror.
"Aah..." she let out a small shriek as she reached up to her eyes with trembling hands. "Aaaah...It's getting darker... why? Why? Why?! Aaah... AAAAAAAAAHHHHH" She took a step backward tripping and being caught by England as she continued to screech with hands hovering over her eyes as she began crying.
"First, we'll go to the annex." China said reaching the bottom of the steps in the room before leading the way down to the annex. "This is it..." he took a nervous breath as he paused at the door that would lead to where the fight had gone on.
"Now that Itary is rike this, Romano must arso be..." Japan muttered.
"Brother Dearest has Spain, so he should be fine." Prussia said remaining positive. "Shit... I wish I had a sword..."
"... A sword?" Japan questioned fingering the sword at his hip.
"Huh? You have a spare sword?!" Prussia asked in disbelief.
"Yes... You can borrow it, but onry if you promise to take good care of it, arr right?" Japan said hesitantly taking out his spare sword.
"Yeah! I will, I will!" Prussia immediately promised. "If it's a sword from your place..."
"Here you go, then. My Excaribur... the Poster Sword." Japan said still nervous about allowing Prussia to borrow it.
"..." Prussia's grin dropped as he held the sword in his hand. "Out of curiosity, what if it broke? What would you do?" he asked nervously.
"I might rose contror to the point I can no ronger distinguish between rearity and fiction." Japan said looking horrified at the thought of anything happening to his precious sword. Prussia stared at him wide eyed in disbelief as Japan returned to Italy's side and turned his head slowly to look at Prussia with half open eyes. "After arr, that is a rimited edition." he explained himself.
"No, that's not what I meant... You know what? I don't want it anymore." Prussia sighed looking at the sword.
"So, what are we going to do? What should we focus on from now on?" Germany asked.
"Werr..." Japan said closing his eyes in thought.
"We haven't decided it; we're in a deadlock, remember? Actually, West, what do you want to do?" Prussia asked.
"I..." Germany sighed unsure of what to say.
"We have so much to do, and yet I have no idea where to start." Japan sighed. "What shourd be... our priorities?"
"To put it simply, it should be 'to escape' or 'Spain and Romano', right? Italy... is..." Germany paused not wanting to continue.
"..." Japan stared silently at Italy's face. "Itary's face got dirty when he ferr... I think I have a handkerchief..."
"If you don't, Halia has wipes in... the remains of her backpack." Prussia pointed out.
"That wirr not be necessary." Japan said finding the handkerchief in his pocket and reaching over to clean Italy's face only to pause. "What?"
"What's wrong?" Germany asked.
"I-Itary?" Japan stuttered staring wide eyed at Italy.
"Hey! What's wrong?!" Prussia exclaimed.
"Itary! Itary!" Japan shouted grabbing onto Italy's shoulders and shaking them.
"J-Japan?" Germany asked wondering if he should get his hopes up.
"Why? Why?! Aaah... AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!"
"Halia?!" Prussia exclaimed as the shriek caught the three's attention. "I'll go check it out, you two stay here with Italy!" he told them before running to go see the commotion.
Fk306: That is the last chapter. I'm not sure when I'll next update since after this it will more or less be the first time I'm on my own. As most of you know, I've been using the videos as a guide for the chapters so now that I've reached Episode 17 part one of two I feel at a bit of a loss. I need to plan this out so I hope ya'll will be understanding. If you have any ideas feel free to contact me on Deviantart. I need to make an outline to what I want to happen and how it's going to end before I can begin writing the next chapter so it will probably be a while before I update again.
Falling Stars Of Silver
OH GOD NO. *sobs quietly in corner* Sorry. Anyway, I really like this story so far. o3o As long as there's no OC/Canon romance, this could be one of the best OC stories I've seen as of yet! (As well as A Matter Of Time, of course, but that's another story for another time) It's really hard not to get attached to the characters...but I swear to smosh they need to find out about Halia. I'm tearing my hair out going, "Haila y u keep pointless secret 8U". I wonder how they would react to the fact that they're all fictional...and that she knew that all of this was going to happen. Why did Italy have to die...QAQ
Also, question. Once you get to the end of 17 1/2, are you going to continue based on what you think is going to happen? I hope so. That would be really interesting! Anyway, please update soon!

Fk306: Don't worry, I've lasted this long without romance, but I hope the occasional kissing doesn't bother you. I try to make them as unromantic as possible. Ooh, tell me more of A Matter of Time!
Halia: It's not like I'm intentionally keeping it a secret, but it seems every time I try to say anything someone interrupts me or I'm just too tired and I did tell England! … Besides, if someone were to one day tell you that they come from another world or universe where you are a fictional character, would you believe them? I know I wouldn't have.
Fk306: I don't want to bring anyones hopes up by saying I'll continue but I can say I'm trying to find a way to end this that I find agreeable. –very picky writer-

This chapter was so awesome! Really good! Man you start school tomorrow?! Good luck!
Fk306: Thanks, school went great, I definitely prefer this professor over my last professor who made me bomb the class that I needed to retake.

You did eally well with the xiè xiè. Normally people would just sound it out and not bother to check the proper pingying with the proper accents. It's irritating
I enjoy reading your story! I've come across it quite a few times but never had the opportunity of reading it. I'm grateful I did though, because I would have missed out on a lot. I shall be looking forward to reading more of The Haunted Mansion :) bye
Fk306: That's good, I use google translate so I'm always skeptical about whether I get it right or not. Then I copy and paste because I don't know how to add accents in my keyboard. Thanks so much for reading, I hope I don't disappoint!
1. Yes in Mandarin Chinese. Correct me if I'm wrong please.
