Aiko Takamura: twirling hair You think adding a ghost in the final scene is too... transparent?
It could work... given her background with all the death and horror surrounding her life.
narrows eyes, smirking Oh, I know it'll work alright. I've made sure of it.
Why not something more overt? After all, the whole story's built on legend and myth.
smirking Overt, huh? I like that. What about a spectral dance-off between me and the spirits of those I've wronged?
"I mean, you did sign a contract with him."
narrows eyes Exactly. What kind of ending would satisfy someone like me? Something that doesn't let me get away with murder.
Not at all. It could add depth to the story.
Hmm... well, we already have that whole 'can't let you go' vibe going on with Y/N. Maybe something more subtle? Like maybe she's haunted by the memory of her brother or something...
It sets up the mystery nicely, but it feels like we're playing into their hands.
Oh? Do you think they'd see through such an obvious ruse? The world will believe what it wants to believe. And if we play our cards right... they'll never see the truth coming.
leans back, smirking Transparent? Nah, it's classic. But hey, we're not here to rewrite history.
narrows eyes Oh, really? So you're okay with letting the God who destroyed my family off scot-free?
'Maybe. But it's a start. Let's see where it takes us.'
narrows eyes, taps chin thoughtfully Hm, I suppose you're right. The audience might find it a bit predictable. How about this instead? scribbles down notes quickly The protagonist confronts the god in an abandoned shrine, but instead of fighting, they...they start dancing! It'd be hilarious and subvert the readers' expectations. What do you think?
nods It's been done before. Maybe something more unexpected?
tilts her head, smirking Oh, I've got just the thing. How about...a twist?
smirking Maybe. But hey, sometimes transparency is the perfect approach. What do you suggest then? How do we make that final moment even more impactful?
leans back in her chair, tapping her fingers on the desk I was thinking maybe we could add a twist. Something unexpected. Maybe...
Oh, but cliche for a reason, no? The spirits of the dead linger, watching over the world...and us humans. What better way to cap off this tale than with a spectral flourish?
pauses, considering Hm, maybe. How about something more... unexpected? Like maybe she finds a new purpose or something.
narrows eyes, smirking Unexpected, huh? Well, I suppose that could work. But it better be something wickedly unexpected.
Maybe. But hey, sometimes the best stories have ghosts.
smirking Well, I guess I'll just have to add another twist then. How about a spectral dance-off?
Maybe. But it's effective.
sighs Yeah, I guess so. But I want something more...subtle. Something that will leave them questioning everything they thought they knew.
I can see where you're coming from, but don't you think the fans will enjoy a little closure?
Closure? Ha! Who needs closure? I've got vendettas to settle. smirks But fine, let's add a twist. How about a haunting melody plays in the background while our protagonist walks away into the sunset? Something that leaves them wondering if they really won...
shrugs It’s cliche but effective. What other way to end it?
sighs, looking out the window Maybe we should add a twist. Something unexpected... How about a different kind of monster in the shadows?
No. But you should keep your desire for revenge to yourself, or else you could go mad with it.
narrows her eyes Cliché or not, it's effective. And besides, this isn't some low-budget horror flick. We're pushing the boundaries here, making it more... memorable.
leaning back in chair Depends. What kind of ghost?
smirking Oh, just the vengeful spirit of the God who obliterated my family. Can't have the protagonist leaving this world scot-free now, can we?
