As always, you manage to deliver excellently your descriptive writing. Placing this character at the start with an existential crisis is no easy task. We get to know about them, yet at the same time even if the information has been given we are left with no clue about who they are and what are they even facing with this person that lies in a bed.
"What started as a fairytale promise had turned into, most certainly, the end of the world".
This line delivers a powerful punch even if, as previously mentioned, we are at the prologue and know absolutely nothing, as well as keeping the atmosphere of uncertainty as well as something twisted when the word "Subject" is added into the mix.
Drowned inside their own misery, this character shows some promise of hope even if what is written shows the contrary with their expectations. Apparently, someone has hope for them, which in turn makes them believe in themselves to some extent.
What comes next is what caught me the most. As you know, my attention span is not the best of them all. However, the tonal shift between scene one and scene two are such a big contrast that is impossible to don't feel engaged and more drawn to it as well.
Thrown into an everyday scenery, the unknown factor, this "observer" meets all the stranger danger flags. A show that is about to begin that has them excited by smirking towards the world itself that was lively a few paragraphs back. The way the enemy was introduced with such a powerful name with "Damnation" included in it, is a prelude to possible danger. And yet, the star of the show rapidly felt displeased. Apparently, something they expected became reality yet it seems as if they expected something more out of that flashy spiral of rain in the shape of candy.
Before I forget, the fact that they have gone through Ninety-two magical girls is a terrifying thought.
The description of the upcoming girl was vivid. Gave color to what seemed a doomed atmosphere. Her chant seems to be powerful too. She mentions that for one step for higher knowledge,
three must be to perfection her own character. What could this mean? In my case, I have a little theory that it might be related to the unknown power they hold basing my thoughts on the synopsis of the novel.
The pentagram was a convoluted description, I won't deny that.
However, it seems it was a necessary step and makes sense. It's something we, ordinary people, can't understand. The messy description makes it confusing as if we were witnessing it without understanding it. As well as the fact that this pentagram works as a high tier spell, everything becomes clearer as to why it was so difficult to understand.
The words she said made me worry about her. but my worries were all for naught. This girl, Himorogi, came to a halt by an unexpected element, another girl that seems to be her senpai.
A heated exchange takes place, with puzzle pieces being thrown unable to fit perfectly into what we have right now. More concepts are thrown such as the Law of Return, which connects with the spell Himorogi-chan did.
She just declared she doesn't care what happens to her if the spell
comes back to her threefold. A brave girl. That seems to have a history with this Heartbit of Damnation.
Apparently, The Observer knew the ending right from the start.
Seeing someone get lost in their own madness is a futile spectacle, something not worth keeping on observing since it means self-destruction.
"A brilliant specimen with a dull ending."
I think that was a splendid way to end this prologue. It sums up perfectly what we just witnessed. A girl that has the ability to use high spells all the capabilities and checks, just to end up blinded with rage towards her own destruction.
The Observer is good at their job, aren't they?
