Anna's standing at the entrance to what seems to be a maze, or at least that's all she can gather from the tall walls and the thick slate slab that's blocking the gate in front of her. There's not enough room to swing her sword or kick her way through with her powerful robot legs, the door sealed itself behind her as soon as she stepped inside, and it doesn't help that there shouldn't be a giant-ass castle near the city anyway.
The only indicator that she'll even be able to enter the maze is a pedestal with a hole in it, glowing with red energy. Carved into the pedestal above the hole is a crude drawing of a heart that remains hollow, and whenever Anna tries (like the dumbass she is) to put her hand in the hole, absolutely nothing happens. Which means someone with an actual heartbeat needs to come along and open that path, since there's no way out of this room otherwise. She punches the wall.
b. i hear your voice and i lose control [iv, shadow fight]
When she finally makes her way out of that dumbass shitty labyrinth that shouldn't exist, she's face-to-face with someone she recognizes. Someone she knows, and someone she's been aching to take the head of for months.
"Vanderweele!" she growls out, and her katana is drawn, and she's lunging at him with a slash that should bisect him if it lands, but there's. There's nothing. There's no contact, there's no resistance, there's no blood. But what there is is a dark, emotionless laugh from behind her, and she doesn't even have to turn around to see who it is because of that massive mirror. Same as the kind that she's seen this whole time.
"Nice try, you heartless bitch."
And the yellow-eyed version of herself is lunging with a black-bladed katana, and Anna's forced to hold up her own sword to keep it from doing to her what she was going to do to that genocidal asshole. She doesn't know if she'll bleed anymore, but she doesn't want to find out. God, she just hopes she's not the only one in this castle.
