6th Inversion [Vine - Text/Accidental Video]

[ritsu_kouyou]

[The Vine unfurls to show the following letter:



A minute or so after the letter is sent, the mirror opens to show Akiha's bedroom. The fireplace is roaring and Akiha is sitting on the floor before it. Her knees are pulled up and she has her face buried in her arms, black hair pulled back in a ponytail. If one looks closely, her shoulder's shake every now and then.

Clearly, she's oblivious to the mirror's activation, but the Vine and Akiha never did get along...]

I'm no one's pet, but I also had no intent to kill. Perhaps the Queen is more forgiving when she is partially responsible for the situation to begin with.

Or perhaps it's the fact that I regret my actions. Can you claim to have regretted yours?

[Kadaj's laughter is brief and scornful.]
The Queen is responsible for every situation that develops in this place.

Regret? I would never could grovel and cry to escape pain. I am not weak.
Your idea of intent is only an excuse.

It could be that the Queen is asleep, and that when she wakes up, you will find your turn has come.
I don't care about what you've done, but if it draws her out, so much the better.

[ritsu_kouyou]

If it comes, it comes and I will deal with it. So quiet your barking and wait, lest you scare her off if she what you really care about.

I'm done talking to you. [And the mirror goes black.]

[a_good_daughter]

[Blank screen or not, Kadaj will not be quieted.]

You will deal with it. You will suffer, little beast.
Save your meaningless tears.

As for the Queen, only "barking", only calling her will bring her.
