Ingo cooped himself up into his room - which resided in his casino, where the ongoing killing game was occurring. It hadn't been easy on him, not at all, with having his daughter visit too it caused alot of stress upon him.
What if she was killed..
A prominent thought that plagued him to death, almost literally. He sighed, sitting down, back face to the door and his head resting on his knees. He just wanted all these contestants to either kill themselves or kill eachother already, despite it only being 5 months of this never-ending cycle of hosting, trials, executions and repeat. It was just becoming numbing and tiring for Ingo, he was surprised he was still able to stand on his own two feet with his poor mental health.
A familiar presence seemed to grace him though, even if it wasn't real, it was a comfort to him.
" Ingo..? " Wariai's voice rung out, Ingo lifted his head and looked away for a moment, not liking the fact he was caught at such a bad time. Wariai noticed and tilted her head, but didn't speak up about it - she didn't want to cause Ingo any more trouble than he already felt.
" I'm sorry I let you down, mom... For the killing game and everything else " Ingo then apologised, his head turned back but his eyes refused to meet Wariai's. Wariai sighed and smiled softly " Oh, there's nothing to be sorry about Ingo, not all of us are cut out to be hosts " She reassured, taking a place beside Ingo, wrapping an arm around his shoulder.
Ingo scoffed a little " I'll say " leaning into the woman's touch slowly, but noticeable enough for Wariai to know. Wariai looked to the side for a moment - before speaking again " Ingo, this really is for the best. You wouldn't survive for much longer before the inevitable happens. You have a good life, possibly it could get easier if you know when to quit it. We all envy you " She went on, her hold seemed to loosen a little, she knew she couldn't stay for long, but it was for Ingo's sake.
" I'll miss you.. " Ingo breathed out, the words trembled a little - he didn't want her to leave so soon, but it had to happen, she was already dead. So what was he doing here talking to what possibly could just be a hallucination. " I'll always be with you, Ingo. If you ever need me, I'll be there. Go dear, it's starting to get dark now, I'll be taking my leave " Wariai's voice was sombre and full of regret for the other. Leaving Ingo in such a state felt like a bad idea - but she knew they couldn't stay together forever, life didn't work like that, but everyone wished for it to be that way.
" Ingo.. I love you " Wariai then said, standing up from her spot next to Ingo, his eyes watching her every move - he so desperately wanted to hold onto her and have her stay with him forever, he wanted that so dearly. He started to tear up a little, it was overwhelming for the both of them really, Ingo just took it to heart harder than he wanted to. " I love you too, mom " He choked through small sobs.
By the time Ingo had finished his words, she had already left - it hit hard for him, hard enough to make him feel ill and sick. Whatever, it was how it had to be - until he killed himself atleast, which was already something he knew would affect a certain someone, but for him to move on with whatever kind of life he was currently living, it just needed to happen - he was sorry for it obviously, but that wasn't going to fix the broken heart she already had from what Ingo's life brought onto her.
To My Dearest Child:
Marcy. I'm sorry, I was never someone good to look up to, you loved me either way - but I won't be here for much longer, you must understand that. I don't want to hurt you any more than I already have. Don't take this to heart, please - I know my choice is correct for myself and for others, including you. I've held you so dear to my heart, just as close as my beloved is to me - but it's time for me to go be with him, forever.
