GRAVEYARD

Graveyard


Reflexively, you curl tighter. Just another minute. Just another minute of sleep is all you need, but the sun waits for no one. Wait. The sun? After many days and nights with only moonlight to guide you, your eyes snap open and your pupils contract at the light.

It's been a while, hasn't it?

Bask in this euphoria for however long it lasts, until your memory snaps back against your mind like a rubber band. Weren't you dead? No matter how you met your end, you certainly remember dying in vivid detail. The pain that corresponds to the last moment's of your life chooses then to make itself known, trying to wriggle free from your skin almost literally. That mark on your skin wasn't there before either.

Take a moment to breathe and get your bearings, and really take everything into focus. The warm rays of sun that dance upon your skin are colorful and fragmented like a kaleidoscope, the effect of being filtered through stained glass. Of all the places to wake up, it seems you're inside a church that's no stranger to you, St. Mary's Basilica. While the odds are good you've woken up with company somewhere near by, the glint of gold from the altar will likely catch your attention regardless—embedded deep in the altar stands a golden staff, two sculpted wings draped down its sides.

While some things are the same, and some things are different, there are still more questions than answers. But the inscription engraved into the roof of the ceiling of the Church, now visible in proper lighting seems rather apt: Welcome to Krakow (again).

[And off he goes!! To return to the tram. It should probably be weird to get back here after all that fuss in the Night with Ignis & co., but it's really not. Sometimes everything is just a battlefield and that's OK. #edgylife

First off, anything different in this tram compared to Night? Manual? Seats and interior?]

[Sometimes you just have to take a joyride with the last of your time as displeased hostage in sci-fi fantasy(??) Europe, OK?? Now that he's just some kind of double-spiritual remnant stuck in a lost dimension he can probably settle down and actually be a tourist. In spooky tram stations that become ever more spooky, but it's fine when you're already a spook.

I assume the manual has the same types of writings, and everything? Plus all the weird armrest damage and stuff. If there's nothing new in the tram here he'll move on to the next location.
