≫ POV: You are Erwin Braunschweiger
You are Erwin Braunschweiger. Eleng is too far from the city to be able to hear church bells, but you know that it's roughly six in the morning from the clocks around the Estate.
Even then, it's oddly silent outside. There should at least be some noise, the sound of couriers stabling horses or servants dusting the halls.
Boxes litter the fort grounds- including your room. Still, it's far more room than Drachenforz offered.

Anyways. It's time to start the day.

Also, take note of the fact Alexis Morgan could be in the same building as you right now, you don't know where, you don't know why, you just know she has a key

Thankfully, it doesn't seem that any demonic entities are after you today. A lucky rarity.
The altar is small, but practical- it was the first thing you set up since moving. Beauty in simplicity- besides, modesty is a virtue.
Morning prayers aside, you really should get going- you woke up early, but you still have duties.

... It's troubling how quiet it is.

... I think you've forgotten who you are. Aren't you some oblivious twink? No matter, Dietric- you mean, his High Eminence, says it's best to avoid needless paranoia anyways. Twice is far more than enough.
Besides.
... What is there to feel guilty about?

Better check your pocket watch. Even if nobody's here, it's best to never be late. You can't afford to be late, and maybe 17 times was overkill.

Wait, what?

Shit.

No. No, no, that's all- why are you doing this? You didn't want this.

≫ Consider those who love you. Perhaps those who think of you as a sibling. (Because there are those who do.)

≫ Reassure yourself that you can handle this. Reassure yourself that, even if nobody's around right now, there's still hope.

>> Command Prompt: You hear it. Clawing at the back of your mind. The grumbles of rubber, the squeak of a hound's toy, that whimsical 'sproing!' that seemed to always herald the arrival of a particularly gleeful demon. Slithering abhorrently, springing joyously, bouncing unnaturally. Abigail is here, and She Wants To Be Your Friend.

Destroy her. You are strong enough to, and She Does Not Belong To This World.
 
>> Command Prompt: An unnatural coldness washes over the landscape of the vanquished monster and buried friend. Another, who should be under the ground as well, appears, pale and hopeful. He looks at you with clouded eyes from behind wire-rimmed glasses.
 
>> Command Prompt: Where's you mother, Erwin? Does she approve of you? Or will she turn you away as though a stranger.
 
>>Command Prompt: Go have breakfast. Make a smiley face with your eggs and bacon.

You already made your choice long ago.
