And the power of the people shall come to believe they do rule

((Continuing from this post.))

In the passageways beneath the park, where a group had gathered to break down a long-closed door, a laser beam was widening, and a broad circle began to blacken the surface of the wood, the locks melting and streaming down in shining rivulets, to puddle at the doorstep. The room was getting hot, now.

Outside, all at once, the rides all stopped. Animatronic figures jolted still; boats bumped each other confusedly; rollercoasters fell to the bottom of their tracks and did not continue up. The lights inside the buildings flickered off; the perpetual background noise of music and soundeffects went silent.

Below, the hole in the door began to crackle and spark around the edges, and for just a moment all the eyes trained on the door could see through it a fathomless darkness. An odd, organic silence filled the air; everyone's breathing and small movements were audible, but so too was a new absence of sound, as though the walls were all holding their breath.

And then the air around the door began to shimmer.

Setsuna looked over at Adam, took in what Kira and Cayce said, watched the Doctor and Psyche for a moment, then squeezed Kira's hand, closed his eyes, breathed in deeply and told Cayce and Kira, "We should do it. She's right. And that doesn't bother me or scare me. I doubt anything that happens when I step in there could be any worse than what I've got waiting for me back happen."

And if something had to be done, Setsuna would do it, whether he wanted to or not. He tried to give Adam a reassuring smile of sorts -- Setsuna would miss him -- and waited for the Doctor and Psyche to finish, and Cayce and Kira to explain things with him, or at least respond to what the little idiot had just said.
