BLACK SORROW - ENGLISH COVER

[good-beans]

What If...

The Milgram employees who's watching the experiment have a note on the camera control panel saying, "DON'T LOOK INTO THE WARDEN’S ROOM AT NIGHT UNLESS YOU WANT TO HAVE NIGHTMARES!!!".

And the curious newbies still looks. And then suffer from nightmares.

And why is that? At first glance, the room looks normal in the dark and under the infrared camera. Just a room, with a bunch of papers on the table, with a very tired warden sleeping only on the couch for some reason. Everything seems fine. But if the watcher spends a few minutes looking at the room and not switching to other cameras, he will see Es sitting on the couch and turning to the camera, looking directly into the whatcher's eyes. This already gives the creeps, and if the warden also sleeps with their head to camera, they looks like an owl. Maybe Es is just sleepwalking. Maybe that the reason. But it doesn’t get any less scary, because if they gets up, they won’t go to bed, and every time watcher goes to the warden’s room camera, they will see a creepy kid staring straight at the camera with their unblinking stare. Sometimes even approaching the camera, as in some horrors. Not the most pleasant thing to see. So a most of employees just don’t look into this camera at night.

Amane (not Eyepatch) stumbles around the panopticon, trying not to trip over the pesky straps. They're too stiff to pick up, and they keep getting in the way...

She's so disoriented that she doesn't realize for a while that this isn't the panopticon she knows.

Where is she?

Hi pal! I DMed a passage from A More Restricted Existence for director's commentary if you want 👀

Hi! Sorry for the delay. Motivation can be finicky.

You might know from the previews that the original passage was a lot shorter. That was because I really wanted to send out the preview before I went to sleep.

"W-why did you…” Amane wasn’t sure what she was trying to ask Mahiru, but it wasn’t the question so much as the sentiment that needed to get across. Mahiru extended a hand to help Amane sit up. “Look, I get that I can be… overbearing at times… all of us, really. But I really can’t bear to see you so distant. So afraid. So hurt. If you could just let us in, wouldn’t it help us all?” Amane nodded quietly. Why was she the one relying on others now?

You might remember me asking for tips on the ending. I felt that it didn't have enough time to sink in.

So when I went around to revise it, I broke it into parts and fleshed each part out.

Here's what it looked like on paper.

Now sit back and enjoy the commentary!

Amane tried to breathe slowly, making up for lost air without agitating her injuries. Mahiru waited for her to speak.

Poor girl is trying to calm down, but it hurts. Good thing Mahiru is patient with her. (I'm trying to remember if Mahiru is this patient in canon.)

"W-why did you…" Amane had no real question in mind, just a sentiment.

I, uh… I didn't have a solid question in mind either. Something along the lines of "Why did you come find me?" perhaps, but it didn't feel right. On the one hand, it would have been a rhetorical question. Why? Because the restraints have reset (Yuno probably spent a moment helping Mahiru first) and Amane isn't around and she's terribly injured and who knows where she is and if she's trapped and if she's in danger and how much pain she is in-

Their fears are not unfounded.

Mahiru extended a hand to help Amane sit up. "Look, I get that I can be… overbearing at times… all of us, really. But I really can't bear to see you so distant.”

Amane-chan, stop running away. We're only trying to help :(((

The way Amane averted her eye only proved Mahiru’s point.

Y'know, every time I write OoA, I worry that I'll accidentally mention her "eyes". (The only post-attack exception is the voice drama, when she took off her eyepatch.)

“So afraid.” 

The light from the door shone on Amane’s face. She hated that it let Mahiru see her expression.

I wanted to say something about Mahiru being backlit. So Mahiru can see Amane's face but not the other way around. Ah well. Can't put everything in writing.

“So hurt.” 

Amane moved her hand to cover her right eye, but Mahiru gently pushed it away and clasped it in both of her hands. Despite Mahiru’s calm demeanor, Amane could feel her hands trembling.

This is meant to mirror your first drabble.

“That’s not…” Amane pulled away. Her voice stayed level, despite hiccups interrupting her. A hand reached up to her eyepatch. “It’s this. It’s all of this. It’s sinful. I took it off last night, but he must have…” She started unwrapping it. “They’re going to punish me...”  With a careful motion, Mahiru held it in place and took Amane’s hands into her own. She’d been picking up on the signs ever since they arrived here together, and a final wave of understanding washed over her.  “I can’t let you do that.” Amane’s expression twisted, though words came out far more frantic than fiery. “Let me go.” 

But this time, Amane doesn't resist.

“If you could just let us in, wouldn't it help us all?"

As you can see from the original passage, I drew out this part of the dialogue. I wanted it to sink in more.

Amane didn’t respond for several minutes. She thought she would break if she said anything. She just let Mahiru hold her hand in silence.

Is it a common feeling to be too choked up to speak? To not want to talk when you're about to cry, or else you will cry? 

Until.

She leaned forward and rested her head on Mahiru’s shoulder, gripping the sleeve with her free hand. If anyone asked, she was not crying. Not even a little. Mahiru softly patted her on the back.

You know you want the comfort… you know you do. Oh, the reluctance to admit weakness. When I sketched out this scene, though, I kept her right eye away from Mahiru's shoulder, so she was holding the sleeve with her right hand.

 Amane used to be the one who went around offering help. Why was she the one relying on others now?

Something about Amane being an emotional core even in canon Milgram. She wants to help the other prisoners. (Even if the audience is wary of her, I maintain that she's only trying to help in the way she knows how.)

Take this lyric from "Magic":

Dear wise one,  Is this ok? Is it ok to be weak sometimes?

I imagine the answer she knows is "no".

much appreciated everyone! thank you for forgiving me. Simply being silly aha :]

Let's hope I don't have to do anything bad soon, right?

Like, the other milgramblrgram prisoners definitely don't plan on anything, right guys?

I'm not at all worried about what the hell is going to happen :D. Surely MILGRAMBLRGram will not go wrong. :D! I didn't see anyone with a gun! of course not! (holy fuck why DOES WAIVY HAVE A GUN)
