Vintage music echoes through the room, winding and wistful. This is a private dance meant for just the two of you.
The priceless art pieces are your audience, while the delicate clocks tick softly, offering the backing track. He has gathered so much, yet it still is not enoughโit never is.
"I tried to decorate, to describe this meeting... but when you arrived, I realized none of it was enough."
"You alone are eternal. You are the most priceless treasure in this world."
โHappy Activation Date, Chrome!
Deadhard.
That's a pretty bold yet lukewarm take considering he's regarded as one of the main keys of unlocking Rosetta's new frame.
Calling him "forced" when, in general, he actually extended the A.R.U's lore, world-building, and a whole new meaning to the "Amalgamation"
I still stand by my opinion that Zack is the most forced character in all of PGR
he has nothing going for him and while I like his design, it's mediocre at most and his motivations are fucking stupid
potential antagonist and he flopped so hard that he made Withering Crown awful
Tech that can be expedited heavily in future patches.
I say this with a 100% grain of salt; you hate for the sake of hating.
Not actually keeping an open mind and reading between the lines of what his debut and legacy may entail for the future of the A.R.U-
โThere must've been a reason specifically for you to undergo those troubles and unveil them yourself granted I am only left with vague fragments...โ
โGlimpses of itโ I can't seem to grasp "his" whereabouts, nor exactly pinpoint them, ever since the creation of that blueprint.
But if I had to guess explicitlyโโ
โSkipping past its finalized thresholdโ Do you have any idea where "he" is all this time...?โ In an expanse often plagued with ambiguity, her further scrutiny towards something that was deemed "honorable" felt heavy.
โAssuming you are familiar with my prior ordeals...โ
โInquiries.
Lay them overโโ
Vagueness may occur, though his frequently conflicting demeanor was not exactly something to let run amok.
โNot one to pry further into your personal matters.. But it's often worrisome with how you constantly stare at that blueprint.โ
โQuite arguably the pettiest way to utilize these "premonitions"โโ
Quite a scathing one at that, but he digresses. Any more "spirals" surrounding paradigms he's garnered up until this point.
Is a surefire way to rouse his past indignation.
โWhy are you hereโ?โ
โAssuming you have ample time to assemble such intricate security, daresay you've probably woven 85% of it by time I step foot in hereโโ
A glint of smugness plagues her assertion, though she remained reserved, reveling within the confines of his quarters as if it were her own.
= The absurdity of this situation couldn't be any more of a nuisanceโ Its scathing redundancy remains tolerable at best. For now, per se. =
โBetter have a good reason why you're here; otherwise, I have no qualms about composing a system tailored towards you.โ
โ
You say you'll give me
Eyes in a moon of blindness
A river in a time of dryness
A harbor in the tempest
But all the promises we make
From the ๐ฐ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐น๐ฒ to the ๐๐๐๐๐
When all I want is ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ.
