The Silence After the Storm

[vrdr_mods]

The Ken Amada who made certain threats, whom Igor didn't bring to the Velvet Room and didn't welcome, has been permanently contained within his other-world self. Many of the Velvet Room residents mobilized in the effort to neutralize the threat he posed, and now, in the moments after the devastating battle that sealed Ken away, perhaps you have business to conclude.

Maybe you're a fighter, left in the rubble the battle made of its surroundings—or maybe you were a noncombatant this time, left behind to wonder what's happening or prepare for the aftermath. Maybe you linger around the battle site, or maybe you have other things to do.

Or maybe you didn't survive. Maybe you're one of the glowing forms slowly coalescing in front of Igor's desk in the Velvet Room over the course of the subsequent half hour. Igor presides over them gravely, with no sign of his usual smile. Near his desk sits a box of snacks, familiar to anyone who's used the operation's training room.

Zenkichi doesn't want to remember it.

He can't remember those nights. He doesn't want to even think about those nights again, listlessly trying to talk to Akane while he knew that his conversations were constantly monitored by the Kirijo group. By the cold, bitter response he always got in return until he ultimately sold off his soul again to protect that one piece of Akane he had left still. Even if they were trapped in a cage together, it was better than her bleeding in his arms.

He wouldn't dare to burden her with those memories.
