Dimilix Timeloop CYOA - Ch 1, Pt 10

 A. Tell him the truth.

You take a deep breath, like you were taught in bow lessons.

“I saw you. Die,” you manage.

The Boar's brow furrows. “Where? In a dream?”

“No,” you say, then brace yourself for how you're about to sound. “In the. In the future.”

The lines in the Boar's forehead only deepen. “In the future,” he echoes.

“Yes!” you shout, frustrated. “Don't look at me like that, I know because I was there! I spent five years at war thinking you were already dead until you show up in the middle of a battle and get yourself killed right in front of me!”

The Boar closes his eyes and rubs his temples. “I see,” he says. “Then… if you are from the future, how are you here?”

“I don't know,” you admit. “I thought I died, too.”

A moment of silence falls between you two. It's nearly unbearable. But then the Boar clears his throat.

“Do you remember any more from that time?” he asks. He is polite and cautious, but his eyes have an intensity to them that you don't like.

You…

A. Tell him everything, from that year at the Academy all the way to Gronder Field. Maybe then he won't make the same mistakes.
B. Just tell him to trust you. You’re afraid of what will happen if you tell him more.
C. Lie. Tell him your memory is fuzzy for some reason. It would make as much sense as you coming from the literal future.

 A. Tell him everything.

You swallow, then meet the Boar's gaze.

“I remember everything,” you say.

The Boar looks back. “Tell me.”

So you do. You tell him everything from the professor's appearance, through that year at the Academy, Edelgard declaring war, the Boar's supposed execution, five years resisting the Dukedom, the Golden Deer's reunion, pushing back the Empire, and all the way to that fateful day at Gronder Field.

“So, now you know what I mean,” you finish. “You’ll get yourself killed if you go after Edelgard like that, you understand?”

Even as you say it, though, you can see a very familiar look on the Boar's face.

“Thank you, Felix,” he says, eerily calm. “You have given me just the information I need.”

“What do you mean?” you ask, wary.

He goes for the door, not stopping even when you grab for his cloak. You end up dragged along down the hall as he speaks.

“You have given me the perfect opportunity to kill my enemy before she becomes a threat,” he says, almost proud, and it makes your blood run cold.

“Were you even listening?” you shout. “The Tragedy wasn't Edelgard's doing! Chasing after her will only get you killed for nothing!”

“She is in their ranks,” the Boar growls.

In one last ditch attempt, you reach with your other hand and grab him by the arm, digging in your heels.

What happens next is just a flash. The Boar whirls on you, eyes wild and angry. Sensing danger, you withdraw, but not fast enough. The Boar lashes out with his arm. You feel it connect, feel your feet leave the ground as you're knocked back, feel—

.

.

You wake up, and you are in your room at Garreg Mach Monastery. It is quiet the way it always is just before dawn arrives.

You now know enough of the pattern to understand what happened. The Boar killed you, and now you're back at the beginning.

You…

A. …scream into your pillow until you feel a little better about all of this.
B. …immediately leave your room. If you are caught in some strange loop, then Ferdinand will come out of his room again, right?
C. …go for your drawers. If you're going to be going through this morning for the third— fourth? time, you can start it by putting on some goddessdamned clothes.
