the choice is yours

Summary:

He pointed at him, at them, as the island collapsed around them all. The numbness already set into his bones, forming him into the perfect specimen of apathy as he stared into those eyes that now swim with half-regrets and so much fear.

Good. He was a fool, once. But never again.

"You want a villain?" He'll show them just what they made. He'll show them the error of their ways. "I'll destroy everything you ever loved; your friends, your village, this whole pathetic world. Let's see who's laughing now, my inferior fake."

The rocks kept falling around them all.

He'll show them all. 

or, reverse-ShTH but still long-ass journey where everyone's choices, good or bad, affected Shadow's awakening/origins/life, and they live through the consequences (if they live at all).

Chapter Text

The world is spinning.

Beep.

That is a lie, you know, because you are not on Earth, or anywhere near it. Instead, you are in a space station, one cruising at speeds faster than you, but even then it was not spinning.

The scientist watches you at the corner, eyes narrowed as the girl nearby him started to talk. You strain your ears, but remember the tests it was run through and winced. Instead, all you hear is mumbling, words blurred by the clear glass and the greenish gelatine-type of goop that separated you from everyone.

Beep.

Wait, where is everyone?

[the girl disappears?]

Beep.

[the man walks away, scowling]

The station is quieter than it ever was, but somehow that made the beeping noise louder than it ever was.

You cannot blink, you cannot move, you are bound.

[the world fades; another lie, as only his perception of it decreases to a steady nil]

It was never your choice in the first place, was it?
