[ brilith doesn't move away, but she doesn't try to lean into the touch, either. she only endures it. ]
It's just... We aren't that close. [ aren't, because even now, even condemned, he still lives. ] Shouldn't this belong to one of his friends?
[ the chance for her to really call asch a friend... it's already gone. but there are others who already made it there, where she was a little too unsure of how to even try. ]
Honestly, knowing Asch, he might just expect his plants to die once he's gone. I don't think he's picky on who'll take care of them.
[...]
Besides, kindness from a stranger can be just as meaningful. It's one thing to expect compassion from a friend, but to know that even others would still want to help you... [...] I get the feeling Asch didn't think he'd be liked at all.
[ she's not even sure if asch knows, or if he'd care if he did. but he always struck her as someone who would be a wonderful friend. in the end, didn't that turn out to be true? he did what he could to help nia, and he did what he could to keep another innocent from suffering the same fate... even if it means the killer will still be free in the coming weeks. ]
...Then I'll try. Maybe... [ "maybe i'll ask pumpkin for pointers," she almost says, but. the last thing brilith wants to do is speak to any of them. ] I'll check the library later.
