heartlands

[he makes A Face as he continues.]

It's okay - it's okay. I promise, I'm not going to hurt you or any part of her! You don't have to give me any kind of feeling, but you don't have to hurt me, either. I just want to get past this so I can find her and help her!

From:

fujimaru

It just struggles more, frantic, gripping him with a crushing sort of strength... but if he persists, he can see, in its struggle, that there is the glint of something gold under the thing.

From:

heartlands

[he keeps giving out apologies as he reaches for that golden object.]

From:

fujimaru

It struggles even harder, frantic; he's going to have some gnarly bruising on his wrist after this. But he can make the grab, and what he finds is a gold ring: a heavy band, solid and unadorned.

From:

heartlands

Sorry, sorry—

[he's trying to pet the tentacles to subdue them after this, apologetic, but he'll inspect the ring afterwards.]

From:

fujimaru

It's so unhappy, surprisingly emotive for a thing that has hundreds of eyes and no other facial features. But once he has the ring, it goes still again, as if deactivated.

The ring itself is a pretty heavy piece for its size, without any sort of extra adornment or decoration.

From:

heartlands

[after a moment:]

This might be presumptuous, but—

[he slips the ring on.]

From:

fujimaru

Well, at least he doesn't turn invisible or anything!

But once the ring is on, he can see the outline of a door, glowing gold and slowly solidifying, on the wall on the other side of the bed. It was definitely not there before.
