  4. Text: [Chapter 78: The Mirror Hell]
  5. (Note: While the concept of different themed "hells" is common in Buddhist moral stories, "The Mirror Hell" refers directly to a short story by 1920s Japanese mystery/horror writer Edogawa Rampo. (Say that name fast, and see if it reminds you of a certain famous American horror writer and poet! If you haven't noticed by now, JAPAN LOVES PUNS.) Anyway, in Edogawa Rampo's story, the narrator talks about an old friend who was obsessed with mirrors and lenses, which he uses to spy on the intimate sex lives of his servants and neighbors. He eventually closes himself inside an enormous sphere made of mirrors. By the time the man is found inside the mirrored sphere, he's been driven insane by his own reflection. It's been made into a movie starring the very creepy Matsuda Ryuuuhei...]

  10. SFX: [*blink*]
  11. Toki: Some kind of machine...? Wait... is that a screen?
  12. Toki: ...Could it be a touch screen?
  13. Kon: Huh?
  14. Toki: It sure looks like one...
  15. Toki: Maybe it's a fingerprint scan security system...?
  16. Kon: What?
  17. Kon: Fingerprint...?

  20. SFX: [*turn*]
  21. SFX: [*grab*]

  31. SFX: [*tremble tremble*]
  32. SFX: [*slide*]
  33. SFX: [*poke*]
  34. Toki: Hm... I figured it wouldn't work...
  35.  
  36. 4
  37. Toki: But what is something like this doing *here* of all places...? It's really weird...
  38. SFX: [*hmmmm*]
  39. Kon: Hey.
  40. Kon: Where do you think that guy and the bird went?
  41. Toki: Um... in there, I guess? Bonten could probably figure out how to open it...
  42. Toki: [Oh, but with his weird-looking hands, how would he even fit his finger inside...?]
  43. SFX: [*think think*]
  44. Toki: Do you think they got lost somehow?
  45. Kon: ......
  46. Kon: ......What's this?
  47.  
  48. 5
  49. Kon: Hmm. I thought there was only one path?
  50. Kon: But it looks like there are multiple branches...
  51. SFX: [*grab*]
  52. SFX: [*toss*]
  53. Toki: !?
  54. Toki: !!?
  55. SFX: [*panic panic*]
  56. Kon: Chill out!
  57. SFX: [*panic panic*]
  58. Toki: !?
  59. Kon: That's just payback!
  60. TOki: !!?
  61. Toki: But isn't that my *soul?* What happens if I don't get it back!?
  62. Kon: Hell if I know.
  63. Toki: AHHH THAT JERK!!

  65. SFX: [*smack*]
  66. SFX: [*whoosh*]
  67. Kon: What the...
  68. Kon: Did it get spit back out?
  69. Toki: Looks that way...
  70. SFX: [*ache*]
  71.  
  72. 6
  73. Toki (two bubbles): I guess...
  74. Toki: There's only one way in...
  75. Toki: Right?
  76. Toki: Damn it...!!
  77. Toki: Time for a different approach!!
  78. SFX: [*wiggle wiggle*]
  79. TOki: OPEN UP, STUPID CURTAIN!!
  80. SFX: [*pull pull*]
  81. TOki: GRRRRRR!!
  82. Toki: OPEN, DAMN IT...!!!
  83. Kon: Tch.
  84. Kon: What do we do now?
  85. Toki: [OPEN, YOU PIECE OF CRAP!!]
  86.

  88. Computer: *beep*
  89. Computer: Enter name.
  90. Toki: Huh?
  91. Kon: WTF!?
  92. Toki: Whaaaat!? It works!? But why now!?
  93. SFX: [*grab*]
  94. Kon: I...
  95. Kon: I didn't...
  96.  
  97. 8
  98. Kon: Maybe it just likes me better...?
  99. Kon: Who knows why it didn't work before.
  100. Toki: .....The right hand?
  101. SFX: [*beep*]
  102. Computer: Enter name.
  103. Kon: !?
  104. SFX: [*shock*]
  105. Kon: It talked! But how!?
  106. Kon: Hey, Toki...
  107. Toki: Shinonome Kon!
  108.  
  109. 9
  110. Computer: Authorization complete.
  111. SFx: [*slide*]
  112. Computer: You now have permission to enter.
  113. Computer: Please watch your step.
  114. Toki: .....
  115.  
  116. 10
  117. Kon: Um... Toki, what the hell is this thing?
  118. Toki: Kon.
  119. Toki: I think we should go in.
  120. Toki: We can worry about it later,
  121. Toki: Okay?
  122. Kon: Uh...
  123. Kon: Okay...
  124. Toki: [A fingerprint scanner?]
  125. Toki: [Automatic doors?]
  126.  
  127. 11
  128. Toki: [This is weird...]
  129. Toki: [We're still in "Amatsuki," right?]
  130. Toki: [But this...]
  131. ???: Let me pass,
  132. ???: Let me pass...
  133.  
  134. 12-13
  135. Kon: What the...
  136. ???: What is this narrow pathway...?
  137. SFX: [*talk talk talk talk*]
  138. SFX: [*beep beep beep*]
  139. (Note: The "Tooryanse" song is played at crosswalks in Japan. It's such a familiar folk song that singing it lets people know how much time they have left to cross the street. Europe and the US are also starting to use musical crosswalks.)
  140. Toki: [But this is blurring the lines between the "real world" and "Amatsuki"...]
  141. Kon: What is this place...!?
  142.  
  143. 14
  144. SFX: [*step*]
  145. Kon: ?
  146. Kon: Toki?
  147. Kon: Hey!
  148. Kon: Toki!?
  149. Kon: T...
  150. SFX: [*crowd noise*]
  151. Kon: Where are we...?
  152. Toki: This is...
  153. Toki: Home!
  154. Kon: ...Home...?
  155.  
  156. 15
  157. Toki: We're home...
  158. Toki: But how...!?
  159. Toki: Kon...
  160. Toki: Don't you remember...?
  161. Kon: This...
  162. Kon: Is "home...?"
  163. Kon: This is the "other world?"
  164.  
  165. 16
  166. Kon: Toki!
  167. SFX: [*shock*]
  168. Toki: (OW!!) GAH!?
  169. SFX: [*crash*]
  170. Kon: Toki!?
  171. Toki: Owww...
  172. Toki: WTF!?
  173. Toki: What...?
  174. Toki: It's a wall...?
  175. Toki: No... a mirror?
  176.  
  177. 17
  178. Kon: Hey... are you okay?
  179. Toki: Um,
  180. Toki: Yeah.
  181. Toki: It's just...
  182. Toki: Uh...
  183. Toki: Kon?
  184. Toki: Um...
  185. Toki: You...
  186. Toki: Can see it too,
  187. Toki: Right?
  188. Kon: ?
  189. Kon: Yeah.
  190. Kon: I see a bunch of weird, boxy-looking buildings in the glass.
  191. Toki: Oh...
  192. Toki: I guess it was just some kind of illusion...
  193. Kon: But it felt real, didn't it?
  194. Toki: Huh?
  195. Kon: Just now...
  196. Kon: You looked...
  197. Kon: Really happy.
  198. Kon: I could tell you wanted to go back there...
  199. Kon: Right?
  200.  
  201. 18
  202. Toki: Did I really...
  203. Toki: Look that happy?
  204. Toki: I guess...
  205. Toki: I was happy...
  206. Toki: Right?
  207. Kon: ...Toki?
  208. Kon: So, uh...
  209. Kon: How much farther do we have to go?
  210. Toki: Huh?
  211. Toki: Oh, um...
  212. Toki: I dunno... it's getting kinda dark in here...
  213.  
  214. 19
  215. Kon: If we keep going, we might get separated again.
  216. Kon: There were two paths, after all.
  217. Toki: Yeah...
  218. Toki: Wait!
  219. Toki: I know, we can use this!!
  220. SFX: [*tadaaa*]
  221. KOn: Oh no...
  222. Kon: Don't tell me...
  223. SFX: [*shock*]
  224. Toki: It's Shamon-san's underwear!
  225. SFX: [*grin*]
  226. Kon: GAAAAAH!!
  227. Toki: Okay, yeah, it's kinda gross, but I thought we might need to use it as an emergency bandage or something!!
  228. Toki: That's what Sasaki-san did!
  229. Toki: I just need to make long strips...
  230. Toki: [Don't get grossed out!]
  231. SFX: [*rip rip*]
  232. Toki: And tie them together...
  233. SFX: [*push*]
  234. Toki: [Okay, now let's go!]
  235. Toki: Hmph, I didn't know you were such a coward, Kon!
  236. SFX: [*step step*]
  237.  
  238. 20-21
  239. Kon: Just shut the hell up.
  240. SFX: [*walk walk*]
  241. SFX: [*sulk*]
  242. Toki: Ahhh, Mr. Jellyfish, are you okay back there? Don't worry!
  243. Kon: Maybe we should have split up after all.
  244. Toki: No way!
  245. Toki: You, me, and Mr. Jellyfish...
  246. Toki: We're a great team!!
  247. Kon: Maybe I should just get rid of you!?
  248. Kon: Even the jellyfish is more useful than you are!
  249. Toki: Hey!!
  250. Toki: That was mean, you know...
  251. SFX: [*step*]
  252. SFX: [*shock*]
  253. Toki: ....
  254. Toki: Uwaah...
  255. Toki: What's going on...?
  256. Toki: The pictures...
  257. Toki: They're gone.
  258. Toki: The walls are just normal mirrors now.
  259. Toki: Uwah~
  260. Toki: A hall of mirrors...
  261. Toki: Sounds creepy, doesn't it?
  262. Kon: Ugh, you are so stupid.
  263. Kon: Just stop talking.
  264. Kon: Hey, that demon from before... it was singing the "Tooryanse" song...
  265. Kon: "Going forward is easy,"
  266. Kon: "But going back is scary..."
  267.  
  268. 22-23
  269. Toki: Waah!!
  270. Toki: You're scaring me on purpose!!
  271. SFX: [*eeeeeeek!*]
  272. Kon: .....!?
  273. SFX: [*shock*]
  274. Kon: What the...
  275. Kon: That's...
  276. Toki: Huh?
  277. Toki: What...!?
  278. Kon: Who...!?
  279.  
  280. 24
  281. Toki: Iemochi-san...
  282. Toki: And...
  283. Toki: Chitose-san!?
  284. SFX: [*touch touch*]
  285. SFX: [*crack*]

  289. Bonten: [That stupid tree...!]
