    Summary

    Siffrin awakes inside an iron cage, tucked into the far corner of an unfamiliar room, stripped of his cloak and gear. There's a wound in their side, he swears this blinding headache is trying to kill him, and the faint taste of alcohol lingers on their tongue.

    Worst yet, Siffrin hasn't the faintest idea how he got here. What happened last night...?

    Summary

    "You just want it to be over. You want rest. You want to sleep and never wake up. You just... want to die.
    For good this time.
    You realize you’ve never tried that before. You’ve died plenty of times, sometimes even on purpose, but you’ve never killed yourself and wanted to stay dead.

    Maybe that’s the secret. Maybe now, it would let you."

    OR:

    Siffrin is so close to the end. He's already made everyone hate him, scaled the warped House, and beaten the King. All that's left is to talk to the Head Housemaiden, and then it'll all be over! It doesn't matter if the world feels wrong and their head is full of static. It doesn't matter if he has to do it all alone. It doesn't matter that they don't even have a reason to want out of the play anymore.
    The end is right there. All they have to do is keep moving forward and ignore the sinking feeling in his gut.

    Summary

    "But I would do anything to protect all of you. Horrible things, to be honest, as long as I could be sure you were all safe."

    ---

    Housemaiden Mirabelle wouldn't have been the first person you killed for the King's wish, but she could've been the last. (Should've been. Would've been, if you were better at your job!) But a missed opportunity last month, a second's hesitation last week, a very stupid failure this morning, and now you're tied to a blinding tree in the middle of her party's camp with an injured leg.

    And... well... you're not stupid. The question here isn't whether they'll kill you or not. It's what they'll do to you first.

    You have information they could use, after all.

    Summary

    It's weird, being so used to pain and dying and slicing your own neck that the absence of pain and dying and slicing your own neck feel like... a loss. Like part of your routine has been abruptly taken from you and you don't know what to do with your time anymore.

    You make do.

    Summary

    A stranger awakens on the shore of a strange land, and any attempt to recall their past ends in a blinding headache.
    Perhaps they might find a new identity in the meantime.
