week 2, friday.

[oathic]

[babo kim's wandering through the garden when he spots a familiar face.

...

quietly, though not so much that his steps can't be heard, he walks over to toi.]

[soba]

[ he's laying on the ground, similar to how he was earlier in the week. he doesn't have the soccer ball this time though, and when he hears faint steps, he lifts his head up to see who it is. ]

... mm.

[oathic]

... It would be pretty pointless to ask if you're all right, wouldn't it.

[soba]

I have my own room now.

[ no one has ever sounded less excited about having their own room ]

[oathic]

... You two were close, huh?

[soba]

I don't know about close, but...

[ ... ]

This sucks.

[oathic]

Well, considering how closed off she was... anything resembling friendship was probably a lot for her.

[...]

Losing someone you cared about always does.

[soba]

Was she closed off...?

[ huh... well, probably. he sits up more fully. ]

I can't say I'm surprised this happened though.

[oathic]

Hm?

[soba]

After everything that happened at the end of the last trial, it's not too strange that someone would suspect her and take her out. We talked about it.

[oathic]

... I guess so.

Still, may her soul be at peace, wherever it is now.

[soba]

[ that actually makes him frown more. ]

That's not how dying works for her.

[oathic]

What do you mean?

[soba]

I don't know. But she told me that death works differently for her, so I have no idea if she'd even be at peace if... that sort of thing even exists.

[oathic]

... Well, the rules are different here than they would be back home, so honestly, I think it's best if we all threw out our preconceptions about death.

So, who can say?

[soba]

[ he just stares at him. ]

Maybe.

[oathic]

[...

he just offers him a smile?]

We'll find who did it.

[soba]

There's three people dead. We barely caught Nikki, and we killed the wrong person last week.

So maybe we might figure out one person. But unless they also killed the other two, do you think we'd figure them all out?

[oathic]

Maybe not. But we have to do our best, nevertheless. That's the least we can do for the dead.

[soba]

[ ... ]

You're not always this calm, right?

[oathic]

Huh?

[soba]

It's really aggravating.

[oathic]

Oh.

... Sorry?

[soba]

It's your personality. Don't apologize.

[oathic]

I mean, if it aggravates you...
