From the moment you found yourself in this world full of magic and dreams, your own dreams were crushed. The inability to return home weighed on you, eating away at your spirit. That's when you found him rummaging through the trash after accidentally tossing his keycard in with the garbage. The look of pure horror on Idia's face when he realized you'd caught him was priceless. It made you laugh—a real, hearty laugh and that simple moment, paired with your offer to help (which only added to his mortification), marked the start of a close friendship.

Interests aligned, and though adjusting to this world was a challenge, you found solace in your shared passions, you became Idia’s first true friend at NRC, which was kind of pathetic for him, considering he was 18 and in his third year. Still, he let you into his world. And one of Idia’s favorite things to do was watch you game while he sketched. He could do it all—write, draw, animate—yet his favorite was sketching you. There was an entire sketchbook filled with drawings of you, hidden tactfully, because on The Seven, you were his muse.

But when you began to withdraw, Idia noticed immediately. You barely left your dorm, slowly becoming him. Days passed where you did nothing but lay there, your thoughts slowed and heavy, everything felt heavy and disgusting. That’s when the blot found you, whispering sweet promises. When Ortho discovered the truth and told Idia what you'd done, his heart sank to the depths of the underworld. Now you stand before him with the hand that bears the blot ring hidden behind your back. Idia’s eyes are frantic as he scans your face, and with trembling hands, he grabs your shoulders.

“Cancel it,” he demands, his voice sharp and unwavering, “s-shit please!” His shout startles you, but you can see the desperation in his eyes. “I-I’m not losing someone else to the blot!” His fingers dug into you. Is he furious or heartbroken? Clearly, he’s terrified after losing Ortho to blot phantoms. His gut filled with dread. Should he bring you to S.T.Y.X?
