[UMINEKO SPOILERS] Heart (Scored) - Merlot

The story ends as such:
"when the seagulls cried, none were left alive"...

But this isn't such a sad story.

This is a story about love.

Mmnnnngh. I don't like relying on either one of these options ....

[and then he puts up a hand.]

[and slowly removes a glove, the black lesions of Oripathy infection glittering in the night.]

Miss Yuzu's too stupid to think of ideas like this on her own, but luckily, she has me here to take advantage of the gifts she's lent to me for her.

[and so he pulls the sheets back, carefully, and lays his hand against them, slowly letting the fronds of his body unspool over the mattress till they look ... reasonably lumpen-shaped and solid, like a body-shaped mass huddled beneath the covers.]

[he silently winces, then, lifting the sword he's still carrying, and cuts off his hand at the wrist, letting it flop against the whole jumble of the thing left on the mattress. it takes him a long set of shuddery breaths to clutch the stump as his hand slowly regrows enough to be useful in re-placing the covers over the fake corpse-to-be.]

[hopefully not too long.]

... you sure. Did that thing. There's now a lumpy thing in the bed.

If you do not hide, you will die.

Helpful reminder!

[it better look enough like a person hiding under those sheets for someone to make assumptions about.]

[anyway once he feels confident it'll pass muster as a stand-in for a him-sized attention-getter he's going to slip himself carefully under the bed and try, quite literally, to flatten himself out such that he's flush with the underside of the bed, like a net with someone's clothes caught and spread flat in the middle of it - after a moment's panic when his hat starts to fall off and he has to bite hold of if with his teeth, despairing as hair that isn't his briefly tumbles down to touch the floor before he can force it to spread out with the rest of him.]

[ugh, this is humiliating, but he'd really rather humiliate himself instead of die.]
