☀ VIDEO



[ from the recording, the noise boils out of the speakers in a torrent of shrieks and chanting and drums. impressions are almost shockingly crisp: the vaulted ceilings, torches leering from the dark, carved idols with all their spines and horns. figures flicker in and out of focus as the recording darts past—stripped bare, every one. well, it's only manners in a cult to go naked to a ritual sacrifice, isn't it?

the tide of sound rises. they're shouting a single name. Esaimu, Esaimu, Esaimu—! ]




[ then, of course, the camera zeroes in to a figure on the outskirts. for a boy surrounded by naked women, he sure looks traumatised. ]

E... saimu...



[ meanwhile, very clearly from the present— ]

I'm totally gonna wreck the video on this thing. How'd it even get inside my mind?!

I just said it wasn't my idea—it was just a really shitty day for thinking, all right? That is 0% representative of me!

Hit your head a little too hard?

I wish.

[ the syllables run together fast, raw and a little bitter. but it passes, and he relaxes a bit. ]

Like it matters now—at least I got out of it without them cursing me.

Why the long face? Everyone makes a few mistakes.

What long face, you can't see my face! And I'm over it.

I can just imagine it. You don't sound too thrilled, anyway.

... Guess you're right. There's way worse places it could've cut off.
