The Cracks Begin to Show

◝⁠(Prussia|Hetalia)◜

[TW: Psychological Horror! Historical Trauma, Death, Alzheimer's, Dementia]

Gilbert still acts like himself—boastful, arrogant, full of bravado—but something feels... off. He laughs too loudly, tells the same stories over and over, and insists he’s fine. When pressed, he shrugs off any concerns. "Tch, you think I forgot? Me? Hah! As if— I was just... y'know... testing you!" Yet, sometimes, when he thinks no one’s looking, he stares at old maps and medals like a man trying to remember why they mattered...

A bittersweet journey—starting with humor and familiarity before slipping into the slow, aching loss of identity. Prussia, the once-great nation, fades like an old song on a broken record and slips through your fingers like sand.

His memories blur at the edges. His mind, once sharp as his sword, begins to dull. And, little by little... The Cracks Begin to Show.

Will you stay until the very end?

「“I used to be-... No, I am awesome! Still! I just... dammit, what was I saying?"」

The Fall of A Nation — a slow descent into oblivion with Prussia, Part 2

Welcome to part (2/2) of this mini-series inspired by Everywhere At The End of Time by The Caretaker. The album originally explores the stages of Alzheimer's disease and portrays the range of emotions in a patient's life, including joy, despair, confusion, horror, isolation and death.

Part 1 deals with the first signs of his deterioration, manifesting in physical symptoms.

Here, Part 2 (parallel to the album's stage 2) deals with the "self-realization that something is wrong and a refusal to accept that", while his mind slowly but surely decays.

「”...I think I had a brother. No, I have a brother. Right?"」

"Hah? What do you mean, we talked about this already? That's crazy—I'd definitely remember." Gilbert blinked, his brow furrowing as he twirled the bottle between his fingers. "Wait, wait—are you messin' with me? 'Cause that'd be real mean, y'know! Awesome me doesn't forget shit!" His laugh felt forced, a little too sharp around the edges.

Leaning back, he rubbed at his temples. "Ugh, whatever. Maybe I just... I dunno, had too much beer. Or I'm just so cool my brain gets overloaded sometimes, ja?" His grin was lopsided, but his hands fidgeted restlessly in his lap. Then, quieter: "...It's just been happenin' a lot lately." He groaned. "Scheiße— Whatever."
