Bottompaged.
Wait, they're in a hotel room? Whoops.
Mike just points to Duncan, who's carrying him.

"If I lose, stop or give up, I'm trapped forever. The only way to win is to play it out until the end. And then, it has to end."
He looks sad as well. The cover of his eyes, which produce the purple color, seem to be gone at the moment, revealing his brown-reddish colored eyes. His normal eyecolor.
"The fact that I made some friends here, and that I met you, will make it harder to end this game. That's why I didn't want to accept your feelings. A-and the way you were talking back then, I just couldn't tell you this, because the way you talked to me was similar to my cousin..."
He looks to be on the verge of crying himself.
"I'll never see him or my other family again if I can't pass on. They will, eventually... but..."
He looks torn.
"I really like the people I met here, especially you. T-this has turned from a quest to being free to being forced to make a Sadistic Choice! Either I stay, but I can never move on, or I continue the game, and will move on when I die!"
He grasps his head.
"And every time I meet someone here I like, that decision just gets harder to make! I tried to be a bad guy, I used all my wits to trick people, to try and have them hate me! I also acted nice, because I figured they wouldn't buy it and hate me even more! But nobody's angry because of my trickery as DID! And people keep trying to understand me! This only makes it worse! I WANT PEOPLE TO HATE ME!"

Aura is silent. Wanda will see that Aura has long regretted her wrongdoings, yet she continued to act like a sadist because she wanted to just die already... and horribly, in fact.

Wanda... gives Aura a hug(?!).
"But if you lived, then you could help people and be a good person again. Just like what you're doing with that little boy."

"Oh. This isn't my hotel room." Duncan says. "Oops. But, yeah, since we're here...and again, waiting to die is just taking the coward's way out. If you really are remorseful as you claim to be, you'd stay around and try to do something good for the world, regardless of how you feel. That's true remorse, there."

"Because ever since I saw my past, I have utterly wished to die—"
Aura then gets hugged, much to her utter shock... and she breaks down into tears as she actually hugs Wanda back.

...But... If you move on to an afterlife, then what's the actual difference between an afterlife and what you've got now? Or... do you not even get to be here if you give up...?
*She reaches down and gently squeezes his hand.*
...Either way... in the end, this... game... Everything in the end is your choice to make. I want you to be happy.
The fact that only 140 characters are allowed here is honestly so disappointing to me.
Mike just silently watches for the moment, as his body starts to get heavier and slightly limp.
"It's okay... Lyria..."
Wanda keeps hugging Aura, letting the blonde cry into her shoulder.
"It's not too late to make up for what you've done, you know... Just let me free you from the Gamemaster's service, then you can start doing some good for the world."

Ok, I feel like what I'm saying isn't making a difference, so.
Duncan looks at Mike. "Why is someone so short, so heavy?" he mutters. "Let's go." he says, leaving to go to their room.
Old habits die hard, especially when no one else lets them die either.
"Hey, I'm not that short... you're just really... big..." He mutters as he dozes off.
The Vagrant
Two Tearjerkers in one hour... damn.
@Baron: Sorry about that.
Aura just continues to cry, unable to form the right words thanks to her current state of mind.
Creator of the Avatar Arena and its Discord server.
"...In the afterlife, I get to see my family again. I'd be able to say sorry and ask for forgiveness for what I've done. And say sorry that I never trusted them enough to tell them about my issues. I didn't trust anyone anymore. If I had just told them..."
He then sighs.
"If I give up, I'll wander around, most likely until you die, and then, I'd go back to Nothingness, losing awareness forever. ...A-at least, if I chose afterlife, I'll see you again eventually, right? I-"
He looks at her when she squeezes his hand.
"...What'd make me happy... is if you don't go for suicide when I'm gone, ok? If you don't do it, someday, we'll meet again in the afterlife. If you do it, you'll end up in Nothingness."
He sadly smiles.
"I'd be happiest if I'm together with all my loved ones."
He's really afraid that Femji will go for suicide if the King dies... in fact, that'd be the nightmare he'd see if Sombra ever used his powers on him.

Don't worry, I'm used to it.
"Heheh...I wonder which way you mean that..." he chuckles and lays him down on the bed. "Sleep well, Mike. Love you..."

Wanda simply continues to hug Aura, still letting the other woman cry into her shoulder as she waits for her to calm down.
"Mmh... you to..."

"...Will... will they... will the others even forgive me?" Aura sobs, still hugging Wanda tightly.

Why don't you grow a pair and ask them yourself, Aura?

"We can handle what is true, for we are already living it."
*She listens in silence to what he says, meeting his gaze. There's the faint trace of tears in her eyes.*
...I... I promise I shall avoid suicide. I shall wait for my death to come, and then I shall join you again. Then... Then from there, I'm not sure.
*Femji begins to smile again.*
...Perhaps once we're there... well, maybe we'll enjoy what we end up with... together. If the afterlife permits it, maybe settle down... get a nice view somewhere... it'd be nice.
The fact that only 140 characters are allowed here is honestly so disappointing to me.
He smiles, and then hugs her.
"It wouldn't be a Heaven without it."
He then shows her his true colors, literally, as he discards his camouflage for the moment, as he keeps hugging her.

"Trust me, I'm sure that they will," Wanda says to Aura, continuing to hug her back. "Just prove to them that you're willing to do what it takes to redeem yourself and earn their forgiveness."
*She embraces him back, seemingly not caring about him dropping the camouflage.*
Everything will turn out alright in the end.
Yes, there is a good reason why I put that link there, and it'll take some familiarity with other characters of mine to pick up on why.

A smile spreads across Duncan's face and he takes a seat on the couch, content to just watch Mike sleep.
Old habits die hard, especially when no one else lets them die either.
"You... don't have to kill yourself just to make amends, you know," Wanda says to Aura, laying a hand on her shoulder and attempting to read her mind to find out when Aura first started feeling remorse for her sins. "I know how to free you from the Gamemaster's service without killing you. Let your 'Final Battle' just be between us so that I can carry out this plan, then you can do good things to make up for what you've done."
Then she turns to Mike. "Okay, how the hell did you get into this hotel room without me noticing?"
