And you need to remind him of something I told HIM. That I would be here. That I wouldn't leave him, even if things got scary. Because I won't stop trying to stop him from thinking the worse things about himself.
You would know.
[Luz took a breath, then exhaled. And began searching for the coin].
[Luz must think that she's helping Sunny, somehow, Omori thinks. She doesn't realize that she's done more damage than a single other person here - insisting on Sunny's need to speak, talking about the truth and mistakes like she has any idea what she's talking about.
[She's at the top of Omori's list now. It'll be an uphill battle getting Sunny to tell her anything - it won't happen if Omori can help it.
[He can.
[He allows Luz to search for the coin - through boxes, piles, whatever she chooses. Omori stands in the center of the room all the while, flipping the steak knife in his hand.]
[Luz would probably still have done it. She believed in helping Sunny, and whether that meant Omori would keep her away from him or not, she still wanted to hear him and talk to him.
She had suspected she would likely not get along with Omori, and now she knew it for sure. Well.
She was used to some people not liking her by now.
As she was rummaging through the boxes, she looked up].
You know, the faster you help, the quicker you can get away from me. I figured you'd want to help for that reason alone.
[Omori continues cutting open boxes and turning them over. If some debris accidentally lands on the glyph? Oh well.
[Eventually, the sound of a coin rolling on a wood floor. Omori stomps on it with his foot like a bug; reaches down to take it out from under his shoe. He brings it to the cabinet.
[He doesn't wait for Luz to see, nor does he ask her if she's ready. For all he knows, they'll be sucked into another video game, forced to work together; when he inserts the coin, that doesn't happen.
[They arrive back in the Enchanted Garden.
[Omori looks at Luz - cocks his head to the side.]
[More that Luz really wanted to make sure she didn't miss the coin, but obviously that becomes moot once Omori finds the coin and puts it into the game.
Luz gets up, ready to see what it's going to take them!...Which was back to the garden].
Luz shook her head, turning away. She was pretty sure this wasn't a great thing: Omori had a little bit of control of Sunny's head, and he was pretty intent that she shouldn't try to get Sunny to actually take more control of himself.
And weirdly, everyone was OK with Omori. That just further mystified Luz, and frankly, made her wonder how much of what Omori said was true.
Was Sunny on his way to being gone?
She didn't know. And all she wanted was him to get a little more sure of himself.
Because no matter what, whether Omori was "good" or "bad," she still wanted Sunny to be happy.

[Spade is a spade.
The next words are ones that Luz needs to swallow a moment. Sunny, just gone, here only enough so that he can put on what was left himself.
That Omori was all that was left. That there was nothing left of Sunny to help. To save.
Luz could see his face, giving him the warning not to touch off his other self. That was Sunny. It had to be].
He needs someone to listen to him. Not to save him, or redeem him, or fight for him. He needs people to hear his voice.
If they don't, maybe then, he might be crushed. But I know he isn't yet.
no subject
[Sunny doesn't need to be heard; Sunny needs to be left alone.
[He is crushed. If anyone asked him - really asked him - he'd tell them the same.
[Omori pulls the knife away from Luz's throat, flipping it again, again, again in his hand. He hasn't stopped staring through her.]
Sunny doesn't want to talk to you.
If he did, he'd be here.
When are you [All of you.] going to accept that?

[Considering for a moment, he eventually goes over to one of the boxes and slices it cleanly open with his knife. He dumps out the contents - no coin.
[Onto the next box.]
no subject
But Luz was searching as well as she could herself, looking for any hint of a coin-so far, nothing.
Luz sighed, then put down a glyph so that she could bring a beacon of light to help them see a little better].

What? Sheesh, that was anticlimactic.
[She looked back at Omori, then sighed].
Thanks.

[There's nothing more to say, really. Omori flips the knife in his hand and walks off, easily leaving Luz behind.]
