Characters: Sycamore-centric; Serena. Implied Perfectworldshipping.
Summary: Throughout the game, I had the sense that Sycamore was actually just leading the main character on; there's no way that you can be friends with a genocidal maniac your whole life and not know he's genocidal./ Prompted by silllygoosemuffin. Cross-posted from my tumblr.
What's Left In The End
There isn't much of Geosenge left by the time he gets there. He takes (unsteady) measured steps towards the center of town, hands tucked into the pockets of his lab coat to (make sure no one sees them shaking) protect them from the chill of the night air.
The ground slopes down under his shoes, steepening until it drops away into nothingness. Augustine stops at the edge of the abyss,and peers down into (the tomb the abyss the burial site) crevice born from Team Flare's actions.
Augustine peers down into the abysmal darkness, and hears the hushed voices of the townsfolk only distantly. "That brave young girl saved us all,"they say."The leader of Team Flare was aiming to destroy the world,"they say.
("Serena murdered Lysandre," is what they don't say. "Serena couldn't understand Team Flare's noble goals. No one could.")
When someone says that Serena is being thrown a parade for her contribution to the world, Augustine smiles. He laughs.
And he slips on Lysandre's gloves, hands already curled into fists.
