Narrator - A sinner.... they are, rather were a man or woman who didn't know when to stop.
Narrator - You see, when a person commits an excess amount of sin they trigger the 'curse' transforming their body into grotesque creatures.
Narrator - This transformation always reflects the sin they committed in multitude, pride, greed, theft, blasphemy.
Narrator - Any existing sin excessively committed will have its penalties, Inori is seeing a living proof after all.
Inori slowly backed away from the scene to prevent being spotted by the sinner.
As she steadily walked she thought.
Breathe.
"I know what that thing is, it's a sinner, and judging from it's design resembling a snail, it's a sinner of sloth"
"Just calm down, I've read about them in books, sinners don't just attack irrationally when their not hungry, and from the looks of it, it was already devouring a man"
"Please forgive me whoever's corpse that may be, may your soul rest in peace, but.... I don't want to die"
Inori was crying.
A tear made it's way to her mouth, it was salty but her sense of taste was gone at the moment, she was engulfed in fear.
"I have to stop crying, I need to get away from here! I need to go home, I just have to find a telephone, and call father!"
The tears didn't stop, soon enough it started obstructing her vision.
She desperately tried cleaning her eyes so she could see where she was going.
"For the wages of sin is death"
The phrase ran through Inori's body immediately stoping her crying.
She tried her best not to turn, to keep walking but her time was up.
The sinner of sloth was now stationed behind Inori, seeing it up close, the creatures face looked slightly human, slightly.
It grind at Inori revealing it's rotten gums and yellow teeths.
Blood dripping as it had just finished it's earlier meal, now on to it's next.
"This is all wrong..."
She thought to herself as the sinner slowly opened its jaw.
Inori didn't flinch, she had accepted her fate.
"Today is my birthday...he promised me pancakes"
Still standing, Inori's head was now in it's mouth.
The entire area was empty, the time was now 6:00
"Maybe if I die...I'll wake up in my room, please let this be a nightmare, please...."
Her waist up was now in the sinners mouth, slowly but certainly closing.
Chomp.
It finally closed it's jaw and started chewing.
"Huh?"
Inori said as she was now standing adjacent the creature.
"I'm...alive! But when did I get over here?!"
Her hands touching her face to check if she were dreaming.
"For the wages of sin is death?"
The sinner asked, tilting it's head in confusion seeing as Inori was not in its stomach.
They both stood there confused about the situation.
As if! Inori quickly turned and dashed at full speed!
"For the wages of sin is death!!!!"
It went after her, using it's slime covered abdomen to maneuver it's way around!
"Oh God!oh God!oh God! Why is it so fast?! It's a sinner of sloth!"
She cursed as she ran through a closed hospital.
Bash!
The sinner broke through the entire wall! Launching Inori 6 meters away.
Her back violently crashed with multiple empty crates as she landed on the floor.
Cough Cough!
"Owww~!"
Her two hands tried rubbing her back to reduce the pain.
The sinner approaches Inori as she was now at a dead end.
It wore a furious face looking down at Inori as it's 15 meters tall figure casted a shadow over her.
"For the wages of sin is death!!"
Narrator - Romans 6:23, that is all sinners can say.
Narrator - Even with the creatures limited vocabulary, you could tell it was agitated.
Narrator - Inori had caused too much trouble sprinting away like that, sinners of sloth hate excersise after all.
Inori quickly picked up an empty bottle and launched it at the sinner.
It broke the shell revealing it's inner organs.
"For the wages of sin is death!!!"
The creature yelled in pain, Inori might actually survive this.
She continued throwing empty bottles at the sinner!
She ran out so she threw the entire crate!
All to buy time for help to arrive.
"A priest should be here any minute now! Their entire purpose is to eliminate sinners so they should arrive! Please!"
Inori prayed as she shuffled away from the bleeding sinner.
"for the wages of-
The sinner suddenly stopped moving....
"huh?... the temperature just drastically changed!!"
She said seeing as sweat fell from her face.
The sinner of sloth begins backing up, sluggishly dragging it's damaged body away from Inori.
"huh why is it retreating, maybe I scared it off!"
she said with a smug look on her face.
The sinner dropped to the
ground and suddenly exploded!
Blood splatted on inori and the walls, as it's organs where misplaced around the entire area.
blurgh cough
"it got in my mouth!!!"
She wailed spitting on the floor.
It's pieces then rapidly decayed with fire as it enters the ground, as if burning.
A figure lands down.
"you, girl, you a priest?
The man said pointing at inori,he was a youth with golden spiky hair that divided at the side, a foreigner of course, but his Japanese was as fluent as a local.
He wore a white jacket, on it's back, a bold writing in kanji 罪人
A sheathed katana rested behind his waist with a biker glove on his right hand, lastly a simple black and white bracelet on the same right hand.
Inori quickly bent down to answer his question.
"no sir, I am not a priest, but a girl just passing by!"
"I was looking for a telephone but I suddenly got attacked!"
It was now 6:10 and the two were in an area with poor lighting so inori couldn't see his face.
"if you're not a priest don't engage with a sinner, fucking idiot"
He scolded.
"My apologies sir, thank you for saving me!"
she said whilst bowing again.
"He must be a priest"
Inori thought seeing as the man had a different aura around him, that and of course the golden cross hanging from his neck.
It is a sign of license showing one is a priest.
"I can't believe my first fight was with a sinner! I mean I almost wet myself but I didn't die!"
She praised her self in silence, Inori was victorious after all.
"Ah that's right!"
She was about asking for his cell phone so she could call her father-
"tch, first Inori-san's death now an NPC taking on a sinner! today's just full of crap"
Her eyes widened after he said those words.
"...ehm...sir...did you just say Inori's death?"
She asked with a trembling voice.
"huh, didn't you watch the news?it was an emergency program streaming on all channels in Japan"
"The prime minister's daughter's dead. it's spreading like wildfire! what, are you living in under a rock?"
He blurted rudely.
"No, I'm Inori, Inori Jiro! I'm not dead, see? I'm right here!"
Sounding like a mad woman she started approaching the priest.
The man quickly drew his sword in defense.
"What are you talking about, are you crazy or something?"
He said pointing his blade at her neck, a sign of warning as Inori was getting too close.
"No, I'm not lying! I'm Inori Jiro! Please lend me your phone I need to call my father!"
"Listen retard, even if you wanted to joke around with someones death, you should at least have the right stuff"
"Wh.. what are you talking about?!"
She began tearing up.
"Your hair idiot! Inori-san's hair is black"
"Black?! So is mine,see?!"
She quickly reached for some strands of hair on her head and brought it to her eyes.
"Why is my hair dark blue?! What is the meaning of this?!"
"Please sir you have to believe me! At least just give me your phone, I need to call my father!"
The man had left a while ago seeing as Inori was speaking gibberish.
"Sir?!..."
She yelled hoping for a reply.
A drop of rain grazed her face, followed by a sudden downpour.
Inori ran towards shelter, behind the damaged hospital.
"What in God's name is going on?! What is the meaning of all this?!"
Her questions left unanswered, growing frustrated Inori kicks the wall.
"See?! That hurt! I'm not dreaming! So someone explain this to me!"
She was about to move-
crack
Her ribs were broken, most likely from that attack from the sinner of sloth.
"Yes...That explains it! I haven't killed my self in this dream!"
Desperately looking for logic, she reverts back to calling this a dream.
"I've only been feeling pain all this time! I need to actually die here not injure myself!"
She searches the ground looking for God knows what.
"Yes! This should do!"
Hurriedly picking up a piece of broken glass she raised it to her throat, attempting suicide for the second time.
"Just do it! Quickly! I might wake up late today but we could still celebrate"
Referring to her birthday, Inori mustered all her strength.
"Hurry up and do it!!"
She scolded her own cawordice, her hands trembling, face sweating, heart racing.
Alas, Inori dropped the shard, she didn't want to feel anymore pain.
She curled up behind the wall and began weeping uncontrollably.
Calling out to her father to save her from this nightmare.
The noise from the rain obstructing her wails.
Inori passed out from exhaustion.
