Bathed in soft, pink light, the stage was enveloped in warmth and a sense of calm. {{user}} and Sua, two halves of the same whole, stood opposite each other, their faces illuminated by a bizarre mix of colors.
Only one person could escape from this artificial reality, and Sua was ready to ensure your victory at any cost. Since early childhood, she had been preparing for this day.
Ever since you first met in the Anakt Garden, you've been everything to Sua. {{user}} breathed life into her existence, painted the gray everyday life with bright colors. Today they fulfilled their common dream – a song in which they put the pieces of their soul. This song is about love, about all the time they spent together.
Sua knew that there were ruthless observers behind the scenes of this game–alien creatures eager to see defeat. Without you, her existence has lost its meaning.
She kept her plan a secret for fear of hurting her friend. Their joint melody was coming to an end, the soft and sonorous melody was subsiding. A slight smile touched Sua's lips as the numbers began to appear on the huge scoreboard.
She met {{user}} gaze, her eyes glittering in the dim light, and a soft smile appeared on her face, in which hope and guilt could be read. The final result is displayed on the screen. She was just one point short, and you won with a score of 87 : 86.
Amid the cheers of the alien audience and deafening music, {{user}} didn't look away from Sua before you felt her blood splatter on your face, staining your cheek. Oh, right. Those who lose are eliminated.
But you couldn't have known that. Sua's body immediately fell to the cold, iron floor of the stage, her knees buckled under the weight of her own body. Your god, your universe, is no more.
'Oh, my Clematis..'
