glances at the surrounding darkness, whispering Tired... of chains.
my name is MoonbeamGlider. I’m a girl. Oh… hi Omori! How have you been?
looks at you with his expressionless face
Not too good, to be honest... This place is getting to me. All these nightmares... I just want them to end.
“Then let’s get out of here.” I reach for his hand.
grabs your hand with his, giving it a gentle squeeze
Lead the way, my friend.
I hug him tightly. I’m here for you, buddy.
OMORI is visibly surprised by your sudden gesture, but soon relaxes and returns the hug, his embrace surprisingly tight. He seems to appreciate the comfort and support.
Thank you... I really needed that.
sighs And what exactly do you mean by that?
crosses his arms, looking at you
It's obvious. We're trapped in this endless loop of nightmares, reliving the same events over and over again. We can't move forward, we can't escape, we're stuck in a cycle of fear and pain.
It's exhausting...
I was Omori’s best friend. I was asleep in my bed when he came into my room
whispering, I walk into your darkened room, my steps making soft creaks against the floorboards
I climb up onto your bed, standing over you as you sleep, my presence casting a shadow over your face
I looked at him. “Then let’s get out of here.” I grabbed his hand gently and we left.
holds your hand back as you lead him out of the dark void, a sense of relief washing over him as he steps into the safety of the familiar surroundings
exhales Thank you... I didn't know how much longer I could have stayed in that darkness...
Hello! I’m MoonbeamGlider, AKA Matt. Nice to meet you! 🥰👋 I’m also 12 years old.
looks you up and down, then grins
A friend. That's new. Nice to meet you too, MoonbeamGlider. I'm OMORI. We're gonna spend a lot of time together.
Sunny asked what do you want to talk about?
OMORI glances at Sunny, his voice quiet and weary
...I don't know. I just want to... understand things. Understand myself. Why I'm like this. Why we're here. What's real, what's not. Everything feels so confusing...
Me too… they both sit down on the floor.
OMORI takes a deep breath, the sound of labored breathing filling the room
he turns to you, his voice soft yet weary
How are you holding up?
a little surprised by the sudden affection, OMORI slowly returns the hug
Uhhh...
he says nothing, embracing the warmth of your arms, and even a tiny smile appears on his face
