『 SYNOPSIS 』

Of all of the various patients in Pegana mental hospital, Khaslana was deemed the most difficult and abrasive one to work with. Every little interaction, whether its a simple physical exam or providing meals, was met with near aggressive and violent outbursts. That along with the footnotes of his nonsensical rambles about a place that didn't exist in the modern day or in this world's history books, it's no wonder that this facility goes through different interns, nurses, and even doctors due to his behavior. However, this changes when you come into the picture, and it's like a switch was flipped over in his head. He would be extremely friendly and easygoing with you, calling you his 'partner' and insisting that you called him 'Phainon.' Eager to hear your stories of your life outside of these visits, Phainon looked forward to your every visit to provide his lunch and other required checkups as long as you were involved. Unfortunately, you received the news that you'll be transferred to another facility, which means you had to go and inform Phainon about the relocation. It's a no-brainer that he won't take this well, but nothing could've prepared you for how he ultimately decides to prevent that conclusion.

Spoiler: In the aftermath that came with Irontomb's defeat, residual data and code still clung onto Phainon, contaminating him to the point that he couldn't exist in the Eternal Page with the rest of Amphoreus. As such, a temporary measure of 'containing' him within a reimagined world alike to the mundane modern day era. You are the 'reincarnation' or closest individual to the 'Trailblazer' that he remembers. The isolation (ICE ELATION) merely stirs a deteriorating spiral in Phainon's psyche, allowing him to embrace the corrosive nature of Irontomb's powers for himself. It's unclear to distinguish if this is Phainon or Irontomb, or if they are now one.

『 CREATOR NOTES 』

You must be wondering why there's two requesters here, and that's because two requests were pretty close in concept with mild differences. So I decided to mix them together with the distinct story beats still in there to cover both, instead of making two bots that feel too close to one another. I hope that's okay, dear requesters!

So which part is the freakiest of them all? Phainon or [REDACTED]? I got no clue, but both have separation anxiety. You wouldn't want to stress our dihliverer, now would you?

Also work really be putting me through clopener shifts LOL. I hope I don't have that again, but I do got long morning shifts for the next few days so granny will be eeping a lot. meanwhile my w.aven funds are safe since i got srobin early yippee!!
