☀ 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?!

That was how the coin landed.

You still flipped it!

Everyone in the group flipped it.

Were any of 'em like you, though?

[ oh come on, surely there must be another evil robot in the universe. ]

... So it mattered to them. How things were gonna turn out. It didn't matter to you.

They screamed when I stabbed them.

—what? How the fuck is that related?

Do people scream if it does not matter if they die?
