Chapter Text
The fall at the tower goes wrong. Not hideously so--Sayaka's not dead or grievously injured. But she rattles her head around when hitting the crash mat. On top of other self-inflicted head injures.
There's no medical literature to explain how compounding concussions can lead to this.
Sayaka doesn't remember Kirari. They may as well be perfect strangers. And in another world, in different circumstances, Kirari can live with that. She can remake their relationship again.
Luck is not so kind.
As of right now, Sayaka is following Yumeko like a lost puppy. Old words and circumstances repeated through a funhouse mirror and distorted into a mockery of what was.
She saw Yumeko gamble. Saw her win at a gamble with stakes so high as to be incomprehensible.
And Kirari doesn't know what to do when she's not the first Sayaka sees.
