'''Character Quest: Asterios - Episode 1: Through the Maze''' | |||
--------------------------------------------- | |||
'''Location: Shinjuku Station Southeast Entrance''' | |||
The crowded underground city of Shinjuku bustling with activity. | |||
The "Transients" residing here in Tokyo vary greatly and wide-ranging in heights and complexions. | |||
It's almost like a colorful wave. | |||
Although the hustle and bustle is intense, the flow of people is quite fast. | |||
One must have endurance to enjoy shopping here. | |||
One man with a large build is opposing the flow. | |||
He stands still without swimming through the large crowds of people. | |||

The "distance" goes beyond reality and twists and turns. | |||
The nearby surroundings becomes more and more distant. | |||
Asterios is cut off from the world and all interferences are kept out. | |||
{{VN:Dialogue | |||

Unfortunately, his hand couldn't reach you. | |||
The two of you were separated from each other before the distance grew violently. | |||
'''[Transitioning...]''' | |||
---------------------------------------------------------------- | |||
'''Location: ???''' | |||
You regained your senses and observed the expanding darkness. | |||
An endless stone wall shuts out the light and the gloomy atmosphere eats away the feelings from your lungs. | |||
There are no signs of life. Only the sounds of your own breathing echoes in your earlobes, emphasizing the loneliness. | |||
You can feel it on your skin that you're completely alone in here. That is what you're experiencing. | |||
Your legs start to move on their own to escape from the heavy pressure of no other person here. | |||
... The wall warped. | |||
Following along the path... You can only find solitude before your very eyes. | |||
No warmth of the living. Not even the chills from the deceased. | |||
Only solitude is the closest to nothingness. | |||
You should have gotten used to it. Why was your own heart tightened? | |||
There is still no one in sight, no matter how far you progress. | |||
Your heart was about to succumb to the loneliness until... "that person" arrived. | |||

When you turn a corner, when you walk down the pathway, Asterios' arm gently touches you. | |||

}} | |||
{{VN:Dialogue | |||

|face=neutral | |||
|dialogue=... Why are you looking at me like that? This should be quick... | |||
}} | |||
Asterios brandishes the axe that he carries on his back. | |||
An axe so huge it'd be impossible to handle unless you have a strong arm like Asterios'. | |||
With no hesitation, Asterios vigorously swings it down. | |||
{{VN:Dialogue|character= | {{VN:Dialogue | ||
|character=Asterios | |||
|face=4star | |||
|dialogue=T-This won't be a problem! | |||
}} | |||
As the deafening destructive noise rings your eardrums, there's a hole made in the labyrinth wall which seemed sturdy. | |||
{{VN:Dialogue | |||
|character=Asterios | |||
|face=anger | |||
|dialogue=Pant... pant... Get going now... before the wall fixes itself...!! | |||
}} | |||
Asterios' large hand reaches out and pulls your body. | |||
The labyrinth walls regenerate every time Asterios demolishes them. | |||
It's contrary to the feelings of him wanting to be with you. | |||
An irresistible feeling of being in love without doing anything about it himself. | |||
Asterios breaks through them and advances. | |||
He uses the feelings he learned on that island as a source of encouragement. | |||
Even if he can't remember it exactly, it's certainly breathing inside him. | |||
Indeed, it is Asterios who believes in the "memories of this labyrinth" more than anyone else. | |||
Asterios couldn't escape because he "believed" in saying "I will absolutely not leave from here." | |||
That "belief" however, was shattered on that island. | |||
"A labyrinth that you can't ever leave" became no more. | |||
{{VN:Dialogue|character= | {{VN:Dialogue | ||

Without letting your hand go, Asterios breaks the wall with one hand. | |||
{{VN:Dialogue | |||

You can see the light right before your very eyes. | |||

{{VN:Dialogue | |||

|face=anger | |||
|dialogue=Let's get rid of them quick!! | |||
}} | |||
'''[Battle]''' | |||
---------------------------------------------------- | |||
Just like when you defeated the last one, the labyrinth walls tries to break in between you. | |||
{{VN:Dialogue | |||
|character=Asterios | |||
|face=anger | |||
|dialogue=Oryaaaaaah!! | |||
}} | |||
Asterios' axe smashes the wall, forcefully pulling it apart. | |||
{{VN:Dialogue|character=|dialogue= | {{VN:Dialogue | ||
|character=Asterios | |||
|face=anger | |||
|dialogue=This should be enough...! All we have to do... is leave...!! | |||
}} | |||
The exit that should be closeby feels incredibly far away. | |||
Escaping however, means that you and Asterios would never be alone. | |||
His feelings of meeting up with everyone again was never a lie. | |||
In fact, he was feeling happy from the current situation. | |||
That's why there's a slight shadow cast in Asterios' mind. | |||
The labyrinth promptly reacts to what was hidden. | |||
The walls hide and cover the exit. | |||
{{VN:Dialogue|character= | {{VN:Dialogue | ||
|character=Asterios | |||
|face=anger | |||
|dialogue=Son of a...! | |||
}} | |||
The walls barely have dents even with Asterios using his strong arms. | |||
The growing walls obscure the exit, making it difficult for both of you to escape. | |||
The reason is it's the flipside of Asterios' loneliness. Strong, bulky and scared on the outside. | |||
What he can do about such a thing is to forcibly contain it. | |||
Just to put a lid on it and hide it. | |||
{{VN:Dialogue|character= | {{VN:Dialogue | ||
|character=Asterios | |||

You extended your hand to firmly grasp Asterios, pulling him closer to you. | |||
It's not enough to move the weight of a giant, but it certainly moved the heart of the lonely bull, Asterios. | |||
