The atmosphere while standing outside the tomb waiting at night is clearly different from what it was in the morning.
"Night comes, and it really does feel like a tomb. It looks creepier than yesterday."
Says Emilia, who fiddles with the end of her braid. She glances at Arthur.
"Do you think it's fine to go in yet?"
"Don't worry, there is no pepper when I take a look inside yesterday"
"How can there be pepper in the trial, you are really weird Arthur"
"It's you who said it yourself... Emilia"
"As I said there will be no-"
Emilia who is looking to the tomb and have her back to Arthur turn and want to look at him but before she can continue her speech there is a hand on top of her head stroking her head gently.
"Have more confidence in yourself, this is not your style to talk so much random thing just to hide your anxiety. Have more confidence in yourself and believe in me"
Emilia reaches Arthur's hand and put it beside her cheek before closing her eyes.
"Your hand is really warm... I always with Puck for a very long time no matter what happens, so it makes me feel unsettled when he is not around, but I also have you now. I can't become weak like this, I will pass this trial, you're right I need have more confidence for myself" Emilia balls her hands into fists, getting pumped and turn towards the tomb.
"Don't worry, if something happens to you I will smash this tomb and save you"
And she disappears into the tomb, the lights in the corridor turning on.
"I will appreciate if you didn't do anything to the tomb, Lil Ar" Lewes Meyer who is following them is, in the end, said something because she feels it was not a joke from Arthur side.
"Well, I will not destroy it completely because I will make Echidna angry"
"What you said? You meet her?" This time is Lewes turn to shock from what Arthur says
"Nothing"
No matter what Lewes said Arthur just ignored her and focus his eyes to the light in the cemetery. The waiting's hard and there is no one who talks because Arthur decides to ignore Lewes and Rem who is sent by Roswaal to witness the trial didn't want to talk to him, probably she is still mad at Arthur.
And the change comes.
Everyone swallows their breath. It's an instinctive reaction to losing their light source and the world plunging into darkness
"The cemetery light is out, there must be something happens to Emilia"
"Lil Ar, you can't go there! You're not qualified!"
Arthur dashes to the cemetery and ignores Lewes warning, with his speed he can reach the cemetery very fast. until the lights in the corridor expand, and he realizes he's reached a small chamber. He slides to a stop and looks the place over. It's really nothing more than a rectangular space with four walls. There's nothing else in there, except a door in the very back bordered by pale blue lights.
And on the floor before the door, Arthur sees a silver-haired girl, collapsed prone.
"Emi!"
He runs straight for her, intending to pick up her delicate body and get her out of here when—
Arthur feels a whispering at his ear jolt his consciousness. He has no time to wonder what's up with it.
He falls to his knees, collapses gracelessly, and tumbles like a doll. He rolls along the floor with the momentum, coincidentally coming to a stop beside Emilia.
At an unconscious Emilia's side, Arthur is too pulled into unconsciousness—
➡️➡️➡️➡️
Arthur opens his eyes but what comes to his view is not a wall in the cemetery or a hut, but a building he remembered the most, the smell of ethanol, white sheets, some voice from health monitoring devices and a familiar pain from his ċhėst area.
Arthur tried to get up from his bed and want to go outside but this is very difficult for him to move his body, and he needs a lot of effort just before he can successfully open the door.
He walks in the familiar corridor, his destination is the doctor room, there he heard his mother voice and his father voice.
"Doctor, please, what happened to my son? Why he become like this?"
"Unfortunately, we can't find the reason for his body that getting worsened every day. From our analysis, his heart and lung is severely wounded by unknown things, and we try to search a way to heal him but there is none"
"None... doctor, are you sure? What about surgery? No matter how much money you need I want my baby life and healthy! Just said it how much you need it?!"
A voice that trembles and seems like sobbing is heard, Arthur who is eavesdrop from the outside fall to his knee and cover his face with both of his hands.
"There is no doctor who braves enough doing surgery to your son because before we can do transplanting there is more than ninety percent possibility for your son didn't pass it, I'm sorry. The best thing we can do is giving you some medicine for lessening his pain, and is best for you to spend more time with your son"
The sobbing sound is getting louder, and Arthur's father voice is heard try to console Arthur's mother.
Arthur comes back to his room and just looking to the outside of the room through the window.
"Knowing your remaining time is not much feel very unpleasant" Arthur murmuring alone whit a forced smile on his face.
There is a voice of someone walking to his room, and Arthur adjusts his position so he has his back facing the dor.
"My baby dear, I'm sorry mother leaving you alone here"
Arthur feels a warm feeling from his back and there is a pair of hand circled his neck, Arthur raises his hand and held the hand with his own hands.
"Mother, the weather in the outside look really nice"
"Yes, it felt so good when I go to the outside before, but it was nicer to have my baby dear in my hand like this"
"Then please don't strangle me"
Arthur kisses the hand that always took care of him from the time when he is still a baby.
"Mother, I think I want going back to our home, I can't sleep well here"
"Of course, we will go back now, I always said there is nothing wrong with you, that's just normal ċhėst pain, the one that makes you feel much worse is this depressing atmosphere in the hospital, honey, can you prepare the car? Our baby dear want to go home"
"Yes, wait a bit, father will go to the parking lot first"
Arthur sits on the wheelchair with his mother pushing him from behind, she talks about everything she thinķ as an interesting story from the time they get on the car till they arrive at the house.
When Arthur enter his bedroom there is a letter for him on top of the table but he didn't open it and just call his father and mother.
"What do you need my baby dear? Do you want mother to cook something for you?"
Arthur didn't answer her and just hug her tightly, there are tears falling out of his eyes.
"My baby dear?"
This time his mother voice is trembling and she seems will cry anytime, his father approaches them and hugs both of them.
"I'm sorry because I became a child that makes you always worry about me. I'm sorry for making you sad, mom. I'm sorry I can't fulfill my promise for drinking with you at my wedding night, dad. Thank you for always taking care of me, thank you for always forgiving my wrongdoings, thank you for all of your love to me... really thank you very much... I will always miss you, mom, dad"
"Congratulations, you pass the first trial"
Echidna voice is heard, and the darkness is change to the hospital corridor with Echidna standing in there in nurse uniform.
"Hmm? Do you want to say something?"
Echidna smiles playfully and spun the syringe on her hand.
"It's looking very good on you but, if you the one who uses the syringe I will never visit the hospital"
"Hey, it's kinda rude you know?!" Echidna stomp her foot and pouting
"Seriously, if you're the one who use it I'm sure you will test it in every part body pf the patient so you can see their reaction, right?"
"Eh, I found out? But do you hate me for making you see your past?"
"Nah, I'm not, I feel thankful to you, even if it was just an illusion I can say what I want to say to my parents"
"So you can break the trial anytime but you choose to continue... it was your eye's ability?"
"Guess it..."
"So the first trial is no use to you then...."
"It's not like I didn't like to meet with you but I need to make someone wake up from her nightmare"
"You really care about her, you didn't afraid of someone who has the same appearance as the witch of envy and is condemned by the whole world? You didn't fear become the enemy of the whole world?"
"Then I will destroy the world itself, simple right? Sorry I need to go, see you, Echidna"
And Arthur body breaking into numerous spots of light leaving Echidna alone, but there is another person who is lying on the ground.
"So he is the one who promises something to you?"
"Interesting person right? It's very rare for you to show up without waking you up, Sekhmet"
"Well, he didn't as strong as witch or Reid, but I think he is still growing up"
"Oh, you think it was not his full potential? Really he can make me very enthusiast's to anticipate our next meeting" Echidna looking to the blue sky she made with smile on her face.
