A song for the disheartened.
| >She is holding...an acoustic guitar?
>Yes, it is, in fact, a vintage acoustic guitar! Complete with a wood finish and...well, four of the six strings left.
"I-I found this while hiding in a broom closet...waiting for the s-shaking to e-end..."
>She looked to the camera with sad, scared, hurt eyes. Emotional eyes.
>But then, she closed them.
"T-this was the song we were practicing, our group...I think the others...I...I don't know where they are, but I hope they are okay..."
| "I-I don't know w-what I can do to help...But I know I c-can't just do n-nothing...so..."
>She takes a deep breath, and begins to strum the strings, softly, in a pick-and-mute chord fashion, along to an old song, from an old world.

>Her mouth opens, and in a shaky, and emotional voice, she begins to sing.
"Should've stayed...were there signs...I ignored?
Can I help you...not to h-hurt...anymore?"
| "We saw brilliance...when the world...w-was asleep...
There are things that we can h-have, but can't keep...if they say...
Who cares if one more light goes out, in a sky of a million stars?
It flickers, flickers...
Who cares when someone's time runs out, if a moment is all we are?
We're quicker, quicker...
Who cares if one more light goes out?
W-well I do..."
| >It was magnificent, the way it was. Gunshots could be heard through the video, and yelling, but it took back-stage to the song. And as COM3T played...
>...the lights around her flickered, ever so lightly...
>...before turning on, filled with electricity!
>And as this happened, COM3T herself began to glow, a fluorescent, bright color, and a light from within her forehead began to shine, with colors like nothing from this universe had ever seen before!
| "The reminders, pull the floor, from your feet!
In the kitchen, one more chair, than you need, ohhhhh...
And you're angry! And you should be! It's not fair!
Just 'cause you can't see it, doesn't mean it, isn't...t-there..."
>COM3T grew suddenly aware of the fact that a once-dim room was now lit up, both by her own glow and the lights around her.
"W-what's happening?!"
>She began to float from her chair, holding the guitar in her hands, floating higher and higher...
| "You are a special one, Child of Light."
>Then, a rip in the universe itself, filled with the same colors that now shone through COM3T, appeared behind her!
"You are beginning to realize your true potential as a Pillar..."
>COM3T turned around, and faced the glowing void which now shone behind her.
"Now go forth, and shine, as a beacon of hope for these people. Help them through their tough times. And when the time comes...You >>>will fight for what is right."
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH-"
| >Then, a flash, as the sounds of a heavenly chorus began to play, as if the universe itself was reaching out to tell you how magnificent you were. Colors never seen before on this plane shone, and a silhouette of a girl holding a guitar morphed into prismatic shapes beyond the imagination.
>Then, a blast, a deafening cry...and then...nothing.
>What was left behind in the room was a human girl, one seen days before, with purple hair and wide pupils, laying on the ground in shock.
| >She breathed heavily, as if she had just seen God...and she looked around the room in utter awe, before recognizing the camera on the other end of the room. She literally crawled over to it, and looked into it, as if looking at her own reflection in the lens.
"I'm back..."
>She slapped her own face.
"And I'm alive..."
>She backed away from the camera for a moment, before looking around once again.
"What...happened...while I was gone...?"
>She turned to the camera once more.
| >She stood up, and walked over to make sure the camera was filming. Noticably, the lights in the room around her were still on.
"I bet this thing will tell me..."
>She picked up the camera, and looked into it once more.
"M-my name...is Rhea...Rhea Hudson...and the first thing I must now accept in this new reality...is that >I am not from this universe...and I did not know that until now."
>Then, the lights flickered off, as she heard the gunshots outside her door.
>END VIDEO.
| We thank you for the song

| >A video begins to play, of a familiar blue-green crystal girl, sitting inside of a beaten-down, destroyed studio room. Earthquakes seem to have rocked the area, wherever it may be, and broken studio windows and peeling acoustic foam from the walls makes the scene look bleak.
>However, the bleakest looking girl seems to be the center of the camera, still solid, but seemingly fractured.
"H-hello...My name...My name is COM3T. I am a newcomer here, to this city...And I want to help."
