Peaks

**Peaks** appear in Pet, and are generally a person's favourite place, often created during moments special to them. They are usually based on a location, combined with the person's feelings.

## Background

Mental constructs, they can be travelled to using an Image. Peaks are often guarded by Valleys to keep people out. Locus's can form a part of them. A Lock is a particularly formidable Valley used to keep the Peak safe from those who could enter and destroy it and so crush a victim's mind. Peaks can be shared to people who are not capable of forming their own memories, enabling them to do so.

## People and Known Peaks

### Hiroki's Peak

Hiroki's Peak was given to him by Tsukasa and looks like the inside of an endless river; it takes the form of a epipelagic level of an ocean sized body of water with sun beams reaching down and many small bubbles floating gently upwards. Hiroki believes that he only needed the river part of Tsukasa's Peak since his Image is a goldfish.

### Tsukasa's Peak

Tsukasa's Peak was given to him by Hayashi, making it nearly the exact same as his. According to Tsukasa, the differences between his and Hayashi's Peaks are that in Tsukasa's, there is no rainbow or butterflies. Tsukasa's Peak fell alongside Hayashi's when he was crushed since Tsukasa's water Image back door trick linked their two Peaks. It was overcome with a torrential downpour of blood before being flooded with body parts. His Peak was able to be restored with Hiroki's intervention.

### Satoru's Peak

As it was given to him by Hayashi, Satoru's Peak, like Tsukasa, is the same as Hayashi's. The only differences are that there are two rainbows instead of one and Satoru's Everywhere Door Image stands in the area.

### Hayashi's Peak

Hayashi's Peak is a large expanse of lush green grass with a river running through it. There are also mountain-like formations either side, with an arched rainbow in the cloud filled blue sky between them. In addition there are a number of large, almost hand sized black butterflies with dark orange sections on their lower wings.

### Meiling's Peak

Just as with Satoru and Tsukasa, Meiling's Peak was also given to her by Hayashi and looks similar to his. However, due to her status as a "baby," the Valleys of the people she syncs with have entrenched into her Peak, such as Shengjie Chen appearing in person. Consequently, the sky of her Peak is dark red and filled with smoke, the land is always on fire, and any butterflies that appear are instantly burned up, with the exception of one that Meiling has to continue staring at in order to keep Valleys from further intruding into her Peak.

### Kenji's Peak

After doing a job for Katsuragi, Kenji was discussing starting an honest life running a bar with Yokota which formed an aurora-filled sky with red hibiscus flowers gently floating down. With his memories modified where Katsuragi made the suggestion to open a bar rather than his friend Yokota, Kenji's Peak was still formed but it was a golden sunset environment.

### Satoru's Grandmother's Peak

Satoru's grandmother's most happiest incident was hearing her son explain that it was no problem him forgoing a college education to use the money for her health costs instead.

### Ambassador's Peak

This unnamed ambassador formed a Peak upon confirming that his father was the man he suspected. It was a tropical island like location with many palm trees with himself and his dad as huge versions of themselves towering over them.

### Katsuragi's Peak

Hayashi could tell that Jin's mother, Lianlian was close to forming Katsuragi's Peak.
