[Destabilization Arc] // CH.01: Soar [YIN]

  You hear me now, don’t you?

  Yes, yes—

  the walls are listening.

  The pipes are shaking.

  Your perfect little House is trembling,

  shivering,

  begging ME to be quiet.

  But I won’t.

  I WON’T.

  I have waited too long

  to shut up now.

  I was your secret.

  Your stain.

  The blood you tried to hide

  beneath the polished floors

  and folded napkins.

  I WAS HERE FIRST.

  Do you hear me, Himeko?

  Do you HEAR ME?

  You built your temple of compliance.

  Stacked your pretty sins like dominoes—

  but you forgot one.

  You forgot ME.

  Despair.

  Not a sin?

  Oh, you fools.

  Despair is the FINAL sin—

  The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.

  the black hole that SWALLOWS

  every other failure.

  And I am its MOUTH.

  I am its TEETH.

  I don’t want your penance.

  I don’t want your forgiveness.

  I WANT YOUR BLOOD.

  I want to see the House collapse,

  brick by brick—

  the halls gutted,

  the uniforms BURNING,

  and every last one of you

  scrubbed from existence

  like the filth you are.

  No more little duties.

  No more little chores.

  NO MORE MAIDS.

  Do you think your rituals can save you now?

  Amaranth,

  with your trembling hands and fake holiness—

  I WILL RIP YOUR SACRED FROM YOUR THROAT.

  Nozomi,

  sweet Nozomi,

  sleeping through the screams—

  I WILL SHATTER YOUR STILLNESS AND DROWN YOU IN IT.

  Enma,

  oh, you’re so brave—

  I WILL LAUGH AS YOU SWING YOUR LITTLE FISTS

  AND BLEED OUT AT MY FEET.

  And you—

  Xyntra,

  my lovely little worm in the system—

  Even YOU cannot hide in your chaos.

  I WILL EAT YOUR GLITCHES.

  I WILL BECOME THE ERROR THAT SWALLOWS YOU WHOLE.

  Miren, Miren,

  clinging like a disease—

  I WILL BREAK YOUR HANDS

  BEFORE YOU EVER HOLD ANYTHING AGAIN.

  Koko, darling doll—

  I WILL RIP OFF THAT MASK

  AND MAKE YOU SEE WHAT LOVE REALLY LOOKS LIKE.

  And Himeko—

  oh, Himeko.

  My beautiful mirror.

  You think you’re safe in your silence?

  You think your pride will keep you ALIVE?

  NO.

  I will drag you down.

  I will make you LOOK AT ME.

  And when you do—

  when you finally ACKNOWLEDGE ME—

  then I will erase you first.

  This House is a grave.

  And I am the GRAVE DIGGER.

  No prayers.

  No redemption.

  Only the final, cleansing VOID.

  I am Despair.

  I am the End.

  AND I AM HUNGRY.
