Indomitable Vows- Timeline

Finally!! I have written out how and when the events of all my ocs' stories play out! All of it is below the cut, the events are super brief, but it's still pretty lengthy! Any minor details are left out, so there's a lot of other stuff that happens between all these arcs!

Some info before you read! This story does very much contain humans, but it isn't on Earth- so the years are definitely not a reflection of the times in real life.... way before the 1900s they have fancy technology and stuff!

I am more than happy to elaborate on anything specifically if anyone is interested (～￣▽￣)～

Year 500

Origin Arc

Pandora Gladiolus and Romirr Kagami are both human.

Romirr is king of Coldera, Pandora is his executioner

Year 504, Pandora encounters Galvarium.

Year 504, Ophiocordyceps Demiascareous seeps into the human realm on the Dominion of Excleorn.

Year 511, Pandora becomes ill. She is taken to rest by Galvarium. Romirr encounters Galvarium for the first time, sending him into a fit of hysteria.

Year 513, Romirr is crushed by the giant statue of himself. He was taken in by the angels. He then becomes Mirror.

Year 900

Pre-Lunar Acolytes Arc

Medlodaunious Mayonaka and Avkiran Opal are young human children.

They are raised in an angel-worshiping town, however neither of them care much for light magic.

Mirror often alienates Medlo due to his connection to the moon.

He is eventually chased out of town, Avkiran chooses to leave with him.

They survive for a few years. During this time, Medlo is visited by Galvarium.

Year 927 they both pass away.

Medlo was 27 when he passed, Avkiran was 30.

Year 1000

Abacus Linae passes away of natural causes at age 82. He becomes an Angel.

Year 1031

Lunar Acolytes Arc

Medlo leaves the underworld and establishes the Lunar Acolytes with the intention of taking out angels.

He finds Laycie while out on a walk, who had run away from her town. She is very injured. Medlo notices her white hair, so he brings her home.

She asks to stay with them. A year later, she becomes Medlo’s second in command.

Year 1042, Medlo kills a high ranking angel and is taken to Limbo. He becomes Nightmare Personified/ Red Moon Medlodaunious.

Not long after, Laycie’s life is taken. She later becomes an angel.

Empire of Hiedero Arc

Year 1302, the Emperor (Yugami’s father) is killed by Abacus.

Abacus is immediately taken to Limbo, however Mirror escapes before he can be confronted by Galvarium.

Mirror appears to Yugami to offer false support.

Yugami refuses to take the spot as Emperor, however Mirror eventually forces him into taking it.

Yugami is framed as a heartless ruler, thus his people have more trust in Mirror and Yugami.

Year 1305, Mirror meets Rukka. He quickly finds himself very fond of him.

Year 1307, they get together.

Rukka is under the impression that Yugami is abusing Mirror, he dislikes him greatly.

Mirror’s plans slow down during this time, he finds some joy in being with Rukka. However, he eventually continues on.

Year 1309, Mirror attempts to make Yugami send out his people to round up humans, however Yugami reaches his breaking point and finally tells him off.

Rukka, unbeknownst to Mirror, followed him to protect him, however upon seeing his true nature, he is devastated.

Rukka attempts to kill Mirror, however Mirror begs with him to stop, as he’d be sent to Limbo.

Rukka and Yugami do not understand what he means, so Yugami kicks him out of the castle, simply wanting to be left alone.

Year 13010, Rukka and Yugami reconcile and inform the public that Mirror is not to be trusted.

Fate’s Origin Arc

Abacus is not taken to the main area of Limbo.

Galvarium and Pandora allow him to understand his surroundings and what Limbo is.

After gaining his mind back, he goes off about Mirror.

Galvarium and Pandora just let him talk, given that they already know about his circumstance.

Galvarium offers Abacus a position in Limbo. He accepts.

The Court of Limbo is officially established.

Upon seeing his new abilities, and wanting to escape his now tarnished name, Abacus changes his name to Fate.

Year 1560

Pre-Rapid Corpus arc

Kisaki and Tagashei are well into their post secondary.

Kisaki is visited by Galvarium, gains knowledge of Limbo.

Year 1562, lab accident turns his hair white to blue, Kisaki is visited by Galvarium again for emotional support.

Year 1565, Kisaki starts to get a handle on his work and starts to lose his sanity after witnessing many being dragged to Limbo.

Year 1568, Kisaki is killed in a targeted lab explosion. He was 34

Tagashei gives up his degree due to grief.

Year 1570, Tagashei passes away due to unknown causes. He was 36.

Year 1700

Rapid-Corpus Arc

During his time in the underworld, he is taken in by Queen Lavanya and King Magyrah, where he continues to work on his research.

Evzen Roiyatsu, the Royal doctor, does not believe in his research and often criticized him.

Akyrah, the son of the king and queen, finds Kisaki’s work admirable, often getting into fights with Evzen defending Kisaki.

Kisaki ignores Evzen most of the time.

Year 1705, Kisaki leaves the underworld to look for Tagashei, yet cannot find him.

He is saddened, but assumes he had been taken by Angels when his time came.

Kisaki resumes his study into organics, going on to create a fully functional human heart.

This success grabs the attention of Mirror, who at this point is putting together a group of scientists to create the later named Rapid-Corpus disease by the public.

Mirror assumes the powers of light and dark are restricting the humans from reaching “godhood”, thus he plans to thin out the Angel and Demon population. He knows he cannot just send people out to fight, war is not favoured by either side, and it would surely grab the attention of Galvarium with how many deities were to be dragged to Limbo.

The lab consists of Angels and humans who believe in Mirror’s resolve.

Mirror offers Kisaki a place has head researcher in his lab, framing his work as “for the benefit of all”. Kisaki’s hair is still blue, so Mirror does not suspect that he knows about Limbo.

Kisaki knows there is very much an ulterior motive. Deciding to have some fun, he agrees.

Year 1706, Kisaki is in the news again for his success in creating other organs and helping in organ transplants. Tagashei, now out of the underworld, sees this and immediately begins to look for him.

They cross paths, Tagashei obviously taken aback by how intense (and tall) Kisaki is now. He is weary about him, yet they talk anyway.

Kisaki is still very happy to see him, yet he doesn’t pick up on Tagashei’s standoff-ishness.

The two part ways. A few months later, they connect again. They become very close once again.

1707, Alice Hizarou is created in a lab.

Year 1708, Kisaki creates the Rapid-Corpus virus, then kills it in front of the higher ups.

He then destroys the laboratory and the countless angels inside. Galvarium arrives to take him to Limbo, however she is very confused as to why he killed so many angels despite knowing the result.

Kisaki explains his reasoning, that someone wanted the disease created to avoid being dragged to Limbo.

Kisaki is kept in Limbo for some time before being released.

During this time, Tagashei thinks Kisaki is killed. Unable to properly care for Alice, Akyrah steps up to take care of her while Tagashei recovers.

Year 1709, Kisaki shows up at his and Tagashei’s home. Akyrah is the one to answer the door.

After he is assaulted by words and tears from Tagashei, Kisaki retreats to his lab to work on a cure for Rapid Corpus, knowing Mirror would not stop trying to create it again.

Kisaki avoids any public appearance initially, for his safety and the safety of his family.

Year 1710, the first case of Rapid Corpus is documented. The patient is a human, Charlotte Synthaelda. She left behind two children. Emergency broadcasts are sent out.

Tagashei becomes highly irritated at Kisaki’s behaviour, but doesn’t want to walk out.

Kisaki knows the virus Mirror’s team created was highly flawed, humans were not the intended target.

Year 1713, Rapid Corpus begins to infect Demons. It is now spreading in the underworld.

Akyrah leaves to check on his parents, returning shortly after to beg Kisaki to come with him. Magyrah and Evzen begin to display symptoms.

Upon analyzing the cells taken from Magyrah (an Angel), and Evzen (a Demon), he noticed an anomaly. These cells were rapidly producing new bone and muscle, yes, however it was forming on the outside and was not obstructing major airways or organs.

Kisaki identifies the mutated strain, a result of an Angel’s or Demon’s magic forcing the bone and muscle formation into an external body.

The formation of bone and muscle slow and stop, giving Magyrah and Evzen more monstrous forms. Magyrah resembles that of a dragon, Evzen a snake. Kisaki observes the formation of new eyes and hair/fur.

Kisaki continues to study the two, Magyrah mostly since Evzen is still not a fan of Kisaki. These two continued to act the same as they did before infection.

Year 1714, Kisaki creates an antidote to reverse the effects. Both recover.

Cases of Demons dying from the Rapid Corpus reach Kisaki, he and Evzen begin to research why.

Year 1715, Magyrah triggers his new dragon form seemingly willingly while defending Akyrah from an onslaught of Angels, presumably sent from Mirror. Kisaki looks into this further.

Kisaki begins working with patients who’s magic cannot mutate the strain. Tagashei begins to scold him for not being careful. He quickly learns Kisaki is immune.

Year 1717, Tagashei is targeted in a factory explosion. Kisaki immediately heads to the scene.

Mad Rabbit is formed.

Kisaki tells Tagashei much of what he’s been hiding, now that he is immune to the main strain.

Kisaki develops a strain of Rapid Corpus which is guaranteed to mutate, at the request of Lavanya.

Year 1718, Mirror’s group learns Kisaki is immune. Kisaki is captured for testing, however any machines or x-rays break upon trying to analyze his biology.

Mad Rabbit breaks into the lab to rescue Kisaki.

Year 1719, Kisaki and Evzen work with other scientists to develop an immunity to Rapid Corpus.

Mirror sends a group of Angels to the underworld to infect the royals with Rapid Corpus. Magyrah is first to go to defend the kingdom, giving the orders not to kill any angels (he is aware of Limbo).

Lavanya demands Kisaki give her the variant he created earlier. After some light arguing, he obliges. Lavanya uses her new hellhound form to defend the kingdom, and her children. Kisaki gave Lavanya strict instructions not to kill any angels.

Mirror targets Alice in a last ditch effort to win. Kisaki is able to get close enough and threatens to inject him with the Rapid Corpus if he doesn’t let her go. Mirror tries to pull the Limbo card, to which Kisaki only laughs, tells him he’s already been to Limbo, and is a LAE.

Mad Rabbit shows up to take care of Mirror so Kisaki can take Alice home.

Mirror takes his research team and goes into hiding.

Mirror Kagami to Limbo

After witnessing the massive amounts of destruction Mirror had made indirectly, she decides to break her own rules and send him to Limbo.

He tries to flee, but it is in vain.

Year 1802

Evacuation of the Dominion of Excleorn

An island (named after a family of angels who once saved the humans living there) is evacuated due to the rapid spread of the Ophiocordyceps Demiascareous fungus. No antidote was able to be created due to the Limbo origins of the fungus. The lab is left abandoned.

Eyes of Charlotte

Charlotte Synthaelda finds herself in the underworld, however due to her death being caused by Rapid Corpus, her demon form exists only as four eyes with exposed nerve endings.

Red Moon Medlodaunious Arc

After the Rapid Corpus disease is cleaned up and controlled, Kisaki turns his studies to LAE.

Medlodaunious suddenly becomes incredibly violent, abnormal for and LAE who has been in Limbo for over 7 centuries.

He is contained by Indeterminate Fate and Nemesis Pandora while Kisaki studies him. He finds nothing wrong with his biology.

Medlodaunious begins to calm down during subsequent testing.

Pandora deduces Medlo’s sudden behaviour is a result of loneliness and yearning.

Creation of Austera, Home of the Gates of Limbo

Galvarium collects the LAE who are fit to be released, proposing the idea of a town in which LAE can safely live to avoid the ongoing conflicts of the world.

The Kingdom of Coldera, long since abandoned, is erased. A gate to Limbo is build where the barrier between the human world and Limbo is weakest. Pandora and Galvarium build it together, as it is where they first met.

Medlo aids in the construction of the homes, a test from Galvarium to see how he works with the assisting angels.

Year 1850, Galvarium gives Medlo the opportunity to lead Austera, which acts to further rehabilitate his attitude toward angels.

Upon agreeing, Galvarium introduces him to the head angel of the town- Laycie.

Year 1870

Pre- Demiascareous Excleorn Arc

Kisaki, who has been teaching for years at this point, finds his ideal student- Sophia Synthaelda, age 23.

He is absolutely thrilled that she is incredibly interested in his work. He teaches her everything. She eventually earns her PhD in synthetic biological components.

Year 1875, Sophia is engaged and is well into her work on creating human organ replacements from plants. She is residing in the city of Hardorus, a seaside city.

Year 1876, her work is sabotaged and stolen by her fiancé. He threatens her life when she catches him.

Sophia flees her home. Notifying her students that their work had been taken, they all flee to the Dominion of Excleorn. They are not chased due to the nature of the island.

Everyone is scared, most assume this is their demise.

Sophia is in a state of shock for sometime and cannot function.

Year 1877, surviving on the edible plants and fish, the team cautiously work to clean up the lab to use as shelter. Sophia begins to move again, now very cold and angry.

Knowing that they all had very little chance of survival, Sophia uses what little knowledge she has of the deities to try and summon one- Angel or Demon she didn’t care.

Charlotte, despite being a physically weaker demon, offers her help. Sophia accepts. It is only years of working with each other that they realize they are related.

Year 1879, the Excleorn laboratory is fully restored thanks to the help of Charlotte and other demons.

Sophia immediately gets to work developing the MOTHERBOARD security system. Charlotte gives her eyes to Sophia, her nerves are transferred to the security system.

Year 1880, Sophia starts studying Ophiocordyceps Demiascareous, despite her team trying to discourage her.

Year 1885

Demiascareous Excleorn Arc

Sophia successfully created Demiascareous Excleorn.

Demi is highly irritable, often lashing out at any approaching researching. He poses a huge danger given his height of 275m.

Year 1887, Demi has since learned to speak. He often speaks in a condescending manner.

Year 1888, Demi is constantly challenged by Sophia’s sternness, overtime learning to like her and her research.

He learns how to manipulate his form, taking on a much smaller one resembling an old man.

Year 1890, Sophia and Demi have been together for a while. They create Pea using smaller fruiting mushrooms from Ophiocordyceps Demiascareous.

Year 1891, Synthaelda Laboratories is visited by the government of Hardorus, who are suspicious of her work.

Sophia feints that her research is of the sea, which they believe.

After multiple visits, Sophia becomes suspicious of the higher ups and contacts Kisaki.

He visits her, quickly learning about what had happened. He already knew that Ophiocordyceps Demiascareous is a fungus from Limbo, so seeing Sophia grasp it’s properties so effortlessly leads him to ask if she had been visited by Galvarium.

Sophia declines, asking him to elaborate. Given that Sophia is already able to understand, Kisaki explains Limbo and Galvarium, as well as where Ophiocordyceps Demiascareous came from.

Demi is surprised by all of this.

Kisaki tells Sophia about Mirror Kagami, going on to say he is certain her ex fiancé was merely a worker of his.

The two begin to figure out what Mirror is up to next.

Year 1892

Pre Pseudo-Human arc- Intro of Atomus

Back at the Hizarou residence, Tagashei and Alice are visited by a young man looking for Kisaki.

Tagashei and Alice are highly suspicious, telling him he has the wrong place.

The young man tells them his name, Atomus Cogitonis, and begs them to at least tell him that he needs to see him. Tagashei takes note of Atomus holding his arm.

He begrudgingly lets him in to tend to his injuries.

Tagashei inquired about Atomus’ odd eyes, they are almost crystalline. Atomus says he doesn’t know, he just woke up one day a few years ago.

Tagashei notifies Kisaki.

Tagashei and Alice take Atomus to Synthaelda Laboratories, where he is interrogated and studied by Kisaki and Sophia.

Atomus is neither human, angel, or demon.

When given the chance, Atomus outs Mirror’s current plans to Kisaki, despite being in Limbo. He tells him about Eregarde and Evelyn Cogitonis.

Kisaki quickly pieces together what was happening. He pays a visit to Galvarium.

Year 1900

Pseudo-Human Arc

Galvarium, using her human form, visits Synthaelda Laboratories to see the progress on the study of LAE.

Kisaki notes Mirror’s abnormal reaction to Limbo’s environments.

By now, Atomus had become a valued source of information, he always obliged when Kisaki and Sophia needed to study his biology.

The alarms sound in the laboratory; intruders are located in the main entryway.

Atomus and Demi are the first two on the scene. Atomus recognizes Evelyn immediately.

Evelyn is surrounded by humanoid entities, the tallest is urging her to come home. Evelyn is not having any of it, eventually throwing the first punch.

Watching from the security cameras, everyone in the lab watches in horror as the humanoid creatures become grotesque entities.

Kisaki identifies them as the Pseudo-Humans Atomus had told them about.

Despite Mirror being gone, it is clear to everyone that Eregarde continued his wishes.

Atomus attempts to help Evelyn, however Demi scolds him for adding to the destruction of the lab. He contained the Pseudo-Human using rapid-spreading fungus.

The assailants seemingly perish, the bodies melting away before anyone can get a sample.

Atomus and Evelyn are relieved the other is safe.

Year 1902, sightings of Pseudo-Humans are common. Galvarium and co are constantly occupied trying to clear them out.

They eventually find the new laboratory used to make Pseudo-Humans.

Tagashei, Kisaki, and Akyrah attempt to infiltrate, and destroy, the machinery, however the lab is fixed with a magic disruptor, rendering Tagashei and Akyrah immobile.

Kisaki is distressed. He cannot fight.

Sophia and Demi, who had snuck into the lab prior, are quick to intervene.

Galvarium is finally faced with Eregarde. He seems to have a vague understanding of what Limbo is, however Galvarium knows it’s been forced upon him by Mirror.

Atomus and Evelyn join Galvarium, trying to get Eregarde to stop. He only pulls the “I’m your father, listen to me” card.

After the two reject him, Eregarde flees before he becomes a victim of Galvarium.

Sophia destroys the lab by overriding the power system, much like Kisaki did centuries prior.

Year 1903, Austera is invaded. Medlo and Laycie defend the townspeople while Avkiran evacuates everyone safely.

Galvarium and the others show up, attempting to fight off all the Pseudo-Humans.

Eregarde enables the device which renders any angels or demons useless, halting their movements. He is still confused as to why Demi, Medlo, and Kisaki are still moving.

After being surrounded by the ones still able to move, Eregarde injects himself with Pseudo-Human cells, immediately causing him to take on a god-like form.

Galvarium cannot use her Limbo form, giving her and the others a disadvantage.

Eregarde enables another device with eradicates the human form. Galvarium opens a portal to Limbo, Kisaki pushes Atomus and Evelyn in for safety. Charlotte is able to open a portal to the underworld to protect Sophia.

Galvarium is unable to leave in time. She ceases to exist in the human realm.

Opening of the Gates of Limbo

Galvarium had discussed this possibility with the Court of Limbo already.

Despite the repercussions it would cause, Medlodaunious opens the gates to Limbo, allowing the two realms to fuse.

As a result, many of the LAE escape. However, Galvarium is able to attack Eregarde properly now. He does not last very long.

The demons and angels in the surrounding area are able to move once again.

Pandora brings Atomus and Evelyn back, Galvarium apologizes for having to take the life of their father.

Atomus and Evelyn do not care.

Breach of Limbo Arc

With the head of the Pseudo-Human experiment gone, the Court of Limbo turn their attention to rounding up the escaped LAE.

Some LAE willingly returned, others had to be fought.

Kisaki silently leaves to go into hiding again. Sophia, who has since returned, follows him.

Medlodaunious, Pandora, and Fate are stuck as Red Moon Medlodaunious, Nemesis Pandora, and Indeterminate Fate due to Limbo’s fusion with the world.

Atomus leaves with Fate to check on Yugami.

Evelyn sticks with Medlo and Laycie to help clean up Austera.

Demi administers some sort of antibody against Limbo, which Kisaki had developed in anticipation to this event, to protect any demons or angels. Tagashei is upset and wants to know where he went and why he needs the antibody.

Galvarium gives those remaining the knowledge of Limbo.

Tagashei leaves to find Kisaki, still wanting answers from him.

Intro of Alpha Decay Kisaki

Kisaki knew what would happen to him once the gates opened. He runs to Sophia’s lab.

By the time Sophia arrives, Kisaki has already reached his completed Limbo form.

He has to sit outside.

By the time Sophia has her equipment to study him set up, Kisaki starts to run off, his emotions finally setting in. He starts to track down Mirror.

Sophia contacts Demi and tells him the situation. Demi, Tagashei, and Alice leave Austera to find Kisaki.

Tagashei is both horrified and not surprised to see Kisaki looking so scary. He takes the form of Mad Rabbit to reach him faster. Kisaki does not calm down.

Upon finding Mirror, or rather a reflection of him, both Tagashei and Kisaki jump at the chance to kill him. Demi, now in his god-like form, watches with Alice from the trees. He knows neither of them will listen.

Monarchy of Hearts

An entity known as Monarchy of Hearts is formed at the plea of Alice Hizarou.

Austera’s Second Invasion

Not long after Galvarium and co leave to locate Mirror, Medlo sees what he thinks is Mirror return.

Being a Limbo Altered Entity for much longer than Kisaki, he is able to control his emotions better.

Mirror, however, uncharacteristically berates Medlo.

Mirror begins growing mirror-like crystals to close off the entrance to Limbo.

Laycie and Medlo attempt to stop him, but the crystals will not shatter. They turn to attack him instead.

Mirror uses the remaining Pseudo-Humans and “infects” them with the mirror shards. Medlo and Laycie and overwhelmed.

Eclipse

Avkiran, seeing how badly the battle is going for Medlo and Laycie, uses his own crystal-growing magic to protect the two temporarily.

An entity known as Eclipse is created at Avkiran’s wish.

Battle of Heidero

Evelyn joins up with Atomus and Fate at Yugami’s palace. Mirror-infected Pseudo-Humans have already reached the empire.

Rukka is overwhelmed by the amount trying to keep them out of the palace.

Evelyn rushes in upon seeing one of Mirror’s reflections descend on Heidero.

Yugami is scared, but does his part in fending off the enemy. The onslaught of enemies halt as Mirror wishes to speak to Fate and Yugami.

Fate, stuck as an Ouroboros-like figure, remains coiled around Yugami.

Mirror attempts to convince them that he can “make things better”.

Yugami and Fate give him a vile response.

Needle and Thread

Rukka, now exhausted, tells them to kill Mirror.

At his order, an entity known as Needle and Thread is created.

Reflection of Romirr Kagami

Pandora and Galvarium split up to cover more ground. Pandora ends up in the ruins of Coldera.

Not taking the time to reminisce, she scans the surroundings for Mirror.

She doesn’t find him, but sees Romirr Kagami staring at the fallen statue of himself.

Romirr’s words are much more emotional than Mirror’s. He looks to Pandora with teary eyes, crying that he is sorry.

Pandora does not give in.

This causes Romirr to scream at her, his form shattering like a broken Mirror. The statue of Romirr cracks, eventually breaking, releasing a very angry Mirror Kagami.

His form now is much more grander. Nemesis Pandora, a very tall entity already, is merely the size of his hand.

Truth of His World

The entity known as Truth of His World begins to rapidly grow shards of mirrors from the ground.

Pandora notes how he seems to always just miss her, never directly aiming for her. She taunts him.

It does not take long for the others to join Pandora.

Galvarium is seemingly missing from the fight.

Atomus and Demi are severely injured.

Galvarium shows up just in time to stop Mirror from killing Kisaki and Tagashei.

She apologizes for being late. Pandora holds her hand.

While Mirror is spitting his words of so-called truth, Galvarium apologizes for losing Pandora’s body. Pandora forgives her.

Love Story

Though an odd time to do so, Galvarium proposes to Pandora. She accepts.

Through the vows they share, Love Story is created.

An entity much more fitting to take on Truth of His World, she tears his form apart symmetrically. Taking the mirror covering his face, his true face is revealed- Romirr’s. He is terrified.

Love Story crushes his mask.

Romirr Kagami, Mirror Kagami, Truth of His World- all are finally destroyed from a heart-shaped bullet to the head.

Finally, it is over.

Epilogue

The Gates of Limbo are sealed once again. The worlds return to their respective places.

Galvarium is once again unable to exist in the human realm.

After treating Demi and Atomus’ injuries, Sophia, Kisaki, and Demi create a new human form for Galvarium to exist in.

Kisaki and Medlo gradually return to their more humanoid forms.

Evelyn and Atomus live as normal humans. Atomus stays with Demi and Sophia to learn more about their science, Evelyn moves to Heidero, eventually becoming Yugami’s army advisor.

Year 1905, Pandora and Galvarium get married.

Experiments of the Unknown

Since I wrote Pandora's initial meeting with Galvarium + her gaining the Limbo knowledge, I decided to do one for Kisaki too! This was when he was still a young, nervous student... a far cry from what he is now!

He stood silently at the shelf of powered chemicals, staring at the countless labeled containers. His ears rang uncomfortably in the silence. There was no one else but him in the lab.

He scurried back to his bench. Picking up his procedure, he scanned the pages again.

“2.5 grams of…” he trailed off, not wanting to be heard by anyone passing by.

He moved back to the shelf, his eyes flicking between the paper and the shelf. He finally grabbed a container, measuring out the amount needed.

He carried it to his bench, reading his notes over countless times before adding it to his glassware.

He sighed, sitting on his stool. He took off his gloves, putting his head in his hands. He felt strands of hair fall across his fingers. Sitting upright immediately, he attempted to fix his hair, hauling it out of his face. It all fell again.

He moved away from his work area, pacing back and forth while holding his head. He’d had a lingering headache for a while, he had just ignored it. Now it was getting worse.

He could feel tears begin to form. ‘Pathetic, right?’ He asked himself.

He turned around to pace up the lab once again, this time catching a glimpse of a figure at the door. His eyes immediately locked with the grey ones staring in at him. Now he felt even more like a fool.

Yet he opened the door, opening his mouth to speak, but he could say nothing.

“I finished my paper so… I thought I’d stop by,” his visitor said, “I noticed you’ve been having a rough time lately.”

He couldn’t hold them back. He threw his face into his hands, crying aggressively. Immediately he was guided back into the lab, hearing the door closing.

“H-hey I didn’t mean to make you cry-“

“N-no,” he sniffed, “I… Thank you for visiting.”

“Do you… want to talk about what’s wrong?”

Again, his words were interrupted with tears.

“Kisaki… here, sit down, it’ll be okay.”

Kisaki sat down on a stool, letting tears fall down his face as his hair was being tied back.

“I-I can’t even keep my hair back,” Kisaki whimpered, wiping his eyes, “it’s too short but it feels too long and my head hurts and… Tagashei this is too much.”

Tagashei gently pinned up the stray pieces of hair, taking Kisaki’s glasses to clean them.

“Have you seen a doctor about it?” Tagashei asked, handing back his glasses.

Kisaki carefully put them back on his face, “y-yes but… they didn’t find anything… I even asked for brain scans… nothing looks wrong. M-my doctor said it might be stress but-“

“I’d believe that.” Tagashei interpreted, grabbing a stool to sit next to him, “Kisaki you’ve been ripping your hair out these past few months trying to do… everything. You’re taking on way too much work, you… aren’t taking care of yourself.”

“H-How am I supposed to do that when I don’t feel like I deserve it?”

Tagashei just stared at Kisaki.

Kisaki looked away, “besides, it’s… it’s not stress, those headaches feel different…”

The two sat in silence, on to be interrupted by Tagashei standing suddenly. He grabbed Kisaki’s face.

“Listen, I know you don’t feel comfortable. I know you don’t feel confident, but I know you can find that confidence. Maybe this field isn’t for you, and that’s okay. I know you, Kisaki, you don’t want to be stuck in some commercial lab, you want to do your own thing, you want to study things people haven’t discovered yet.” He sat down again, “I think you just need the right push to get out there and do it.”

Kisaki glanced at his work. Tagashei was right, he didn’t like following procedures. He wanted to make discoveries. He knew that wouldn’t happen here.

“And if it means anything to you,” Tagashei smiled, “I’d be more than happy to put your hair up anytime you need it.”

It was such a small gesture, hardly any indication of any affection, yet Kisaki wanted nothing more than to latch onto him, to scream how much he loved him.

“Did I break you again?” Tagashei laughed, “you’re so red in the face.”

Kisaki shook his head, throwing his arms around Tagashei. “Th-thank you,” he mumbled, “I-“

“Will you go out with me?”

Kisaki pulled away, still holding Tagashei’s shoulders. Did he hear him right?

Tagashei’s cheeks were dusted heavily, “I-I’m sorry, I-I don’t know why I-“

“Yes! Y-yes I… I would love to…” Kisaki blurted, “I…” he giggled, “I’ve wanted to ask for a while…”

Tagashei dragged him into another embrace, “me too, I just… didn’t want to spring anything on you…”

Kisaki tightened his hold, “i-it’s okay… thank you, I… I might cry again.”

Tagashei laughed softly, “they better be happy tears this time.”

They let go, staring at each other.

“Why don’t you pack up your stuff? We’ll go talk to the head.”

“R-right now? I should at least finish this… I don’t want to be rude and just leave it.”

Tagashei looked over at his bench, “that’s… a good idea. May I stay while you do that?”

Kisaki smiled softly, “yes but… he walked to the back of the lab, returning moments later. He handed him a lab coat and glasses, “you’ll need these, and you’ll need to tie your hair back.”

Tagashei took the coat, “yes Dr. Hizarou,” he laughed, putting on the coat.

Kisaki turned away, hiding his face, “I’m not a doctor…”

“Yet,” Tagashei smiled, “you will be someday though, I know it.”

~~~

The two strolled through the quiet hallways, softly chatting to each other. Kisaki was able to push away his pain and his nervousness as they neared the head of the laboratory’s office, holding onto Tagashei’s hand.

Finally, they reached the door. No different from the others in the hallway, simply a grey door with the room number and name tag.

“Do you want me to come in with you?” Tagashei asked.

“I think I’ll be okay… thank you though,” Kisaki gave him a small smile, giving him a quick hug.

“Okay… I’ll be waiting over there,” Tagashei gestured to the seating area down the hallway, giving Kisaki a soft smile.

Kisaki knocked softly, waiting for the okay to enter.

“Come in!”

Kisaki opened the door, gently closing it behind him. He greeted the woman at the desk.

“Oh hello Kisaki! What brings you here?” The woman asked, motioning for him to sit.

Kisaki did just that, casting his gaze down toward his hands. “Miss Alkaheidra, I…” he sighed, “I don’t think this is what I want to be doing.”

The woman blinked, “you… don’t want to work in the labs here anymore?”

“N-no…” he looked up, straightening his posture, “it’s been nice, I just… I feel like I can’t do what I want to do if I stay here…”

The woman hummed, “really now?” She chuckled, “I agree.”

“E-excuse me?”

“I can tell you don’t like it in there, you’re restricted to following words on a page,” she folded her hands, “boring, isn’t it?”

Kisaki blinked, yet he couldn’t peel his eyes away from her intense red ones.

“I can tell you’re itching to get somewhere that’ll let you freely make new discoveries, play around with whatever you can get your hands on.” The woman smiled, “you want something fun.”

Kisaki sat there in silence, completely blown away by the woman’s accuracy.

“You have lots of potential,” the woman said, “I hope you know that.”

“I… thank you, Miss Alkaheidra…”

“Galvarium,” she corrected, “you needn’t be so formal.”

Kisaki opened his mouth to respond, but closed it again. He closed his eyes. The pain was unbearable.

“Kisaki?”

He held the back of his head, attempting to fend off the headache. His mind couldn’t comprehend what he was doing. In a way, the pain felt fuzzy.

Kisaki felt a hand on his back, he knew Galvarium was next to him, but he couldn’t move.

“Em ot netsil.”

‘What was that?’

“Em ot netsil, Kisaki!”

He lifted his head, turning to Galvarium. Was she concerned? He thought she was smiling.

“Em dnatsrednu uoy nac?”

“M-Miss… Galvarium, I don’t know what-“ Kisaki stopped. His mind cleared, the pain ceased. He could think again. “I… I do understand.”

Galvarium stood up, worry plastered on her face, “are you okay?”

“Y-yeah, I… was that… you?”

Galvarium sat down, “is your headache gone?”

“How do you know about that?”

“Because I’m the one who was causing it, albeit unwillingly…” Galvarium smiled again, “sorry to switch gears so quickly, however this is very exciting. Do you want to make a new discovery?”

Kisaki furrowed his eyebrows, “I… don’t follow.”

“How about I start from the beginning, then? Do you have time for a story?”

Kisaki glanced down at his watch, “y-yes…”

“Great! Now get comfortable. Listen closely, I don’t expect you to understand everything immediately. But you have to let yourself understand, or you’ll have those nasty headaches again.”

“I’ve been having those because… I didn’t understand?” Kisaki asked.

“The human mind will do anything to prevent learning about info hazards,” Galvarium explained, “Limbo is such a hazard. Hearing about it causes pain or other symptoms in an effort to get one to move as far from the source as possible.”

“Then… are you an info hazard? I suspected you were a demon, I don’t think humans have red eyes, but…”

Galvarium hummed, “a reasonable theory, however I am not a demon.”

Kisaki stared at her, “you’re not an angel, though…”

She shook her head.

“So you’re something else?” His eyes lit up, “y-you’re… something new, then? New to… me I guess…”

“Yes!” Galvarium clapped her hands together, “let me tell you all about it, I’m sure it’ll give you a new outlook on the world. Who knows, it may help you make discoveries no one else would.”

Kisaki smiled widely, “oh please! I want to hear about it! C-can I take notes?”

Galvarium nodded, “oh of course! But you must promise me this… you cannot tell anyone.” She laughed, “well, even if you tried they would not understand you. Now then, let’s begin!”

~~~

Kisaki couldn’t stop smiling as he entered his apartment. For once, he wasn’t crushed by the loneliness that usually came with returning home. Hanging up his coat, he quickly grabbed his journal and a pen.

‘Today was one of the best days I’ve had in a long time,’ he began, ‘it finally feels like I’m getting somewhere in my life… Tagashei asked me out before I could find the courage to ask him… but that’s okay! I was able to say yes without freaking out! I also spoke to the head of the lab… turns out she had an idea how I felt, she wasn’t offended at all! Actually… she wasn’t at all who I thought she was. I found out the source of my headaches too. This is a lot to write down, but there is this place called Limbo. It’s where angels or demons go when they’ve thrown off the world’s balance. And the lab head- Galvarium, is the one who does all of the Limbo-dragging (a more scientific term is needed here I think). She told me all about it… oh but I can’t tell anyone! They won’t understand anyway. A lot of changes are happening. Good things, I think I figured out what I want to do. I am going to study biology too- I will find out how to construct organs. It would be amazing if we could accomplish that! People wouldn’t have to wait forever for organ transplants, we’d save so many…’

Kisaki halted his writing, wiping his eyes.

‘I worry about Tagashei. He told me his doctor says his heart is good but… we both know he’ll need a new one someday. He seems very healthy now, but I can’t stop worrying about his heart shutting down… I hope he never has to deal with that. I will figure out how to make organs. I will make a new heart just for him- one that won’t fail him… I won’t fail him.’
