[Action/Accidental Voice] Where is This? Where am I?

[jinuzuki]

[In the forest a man is just waking up to find himself sitting against a tree wearing nothing but the cotton white pants. When he fully awakes, his movements are slow and tentative as though expecting pain.]

What...where am I? Could this be Lost Jerusalem? Not exactly how I expected to see it...[He hadn't expected to be seeing anything. The darkness had fallen bringing a sense of peace with it, yet now he felt alive. Normal except-]

[There's a sudden hiss of pain as his back starts to protest.] Ah, what...? [When he reaches to find what is causing the pain he lets loose a sound of surprise] Feathers? Wings? [He leans forward letting his hand fall away from his back and onto a book.]

Hm? What is this? [He picks it up and flips it open.] How odd. It appears to be a...computer of some sort? In book form?

There appears to be more going on here beyond my understanding...

That's what my world was, you don't have to apologize. An afterlife for dead kids whose memories are bad enough that we can't reincarnate unless we find some kind of satisfaction. An entire world created just to do that, to get us to accept things and just live normally and happily.

Ah, I see. So to lose those would lose your chance at reincarnation? [Asked a bit hesitantly. He doesn't want to probe too much, but it's also fascinating.]

[magentarific]

No, I would be reincarnated if I forgot. I can't fight back if I disappear.

[jinuzuki]

Some might consider that a blessing, a chance to escape. Yet, you want to stay and fight. That's admirable.

No one who could just quit like that existed in that world. You can't get in if you kill yourself to end it, so no one there just wanted to end it.

I see.
