"He threw it against a wall so he can pet a cat"? How does that even make sense?? You were there?
[ What she's hearing is Y'ALL COULD'VE BROKEN HER SOUL OVER A STUPID CAT ]
no subject
( "Naturally" is said so dryly. Now that he knows what it was and what it had in it... They could've just diiiiiiiied right then. Over a cat.
He loves cats, but not to that extent. )
I was occupied feeding the cat at the TIME, so it's not like I could stop him or anyTHING... I'll apologize on his behalf THOUGH.

Nao heaves a long suffering sigh. Then she breathes in and heaves another one. ]
I guess I'm lucky to be alive still. We were trying to get it back open, but couldn't figure out the puzzle. But I guess that was the point.
no subject
Maybe it wasn't that big of a part of her as she was worried it was; maybe she just has no fear now, or something. )
You can answer as much as you're comfortable WITH, but I do have my quesTIONS. ( As... one might... ) What exactly was within IT, and who put it THERE?
no subject
It's... It's a fragment of my soul, so I really didn't appreciate having flung around. [ And broken, apparently!! god. ] I don't know who did it, though. Their face was obscured with a black hood, so I never saw who it was. I didn't think it was for anything malicious, but who knows... I was stupid and trusting, back then.
no subject
Why did you allow them to do IT?
no subject
[ Her voice drops a bit lower, quieter. This is a secret, okay? Don't tell. ]
...I was scared of dying. I am scared of dying. I'm terrified of it. He said he could help me, and I said yes, without even asking what he was going to do, because I was stupid.
no subject
His voice drops a bit lower too, quieter. )
So am I, Sato-san. I think everyone IS, even if they don't say SO. Knowing death and accepting IT, and being able to accept the idea of yourself dyING, are two completely different THINGS. ( Kiss his ass, Komaeda. ) Why else have humans sought ways to live foreVER, despite the fact such a thing does not and cannot exIST?
no subject
I don't know what to do... I don't want to die. Not here. [ not ever, but especially not here ] How am I supposed to leave with a fragmented soul...?
no subject
( There has to be; they just have to figure out where it went after... everything. Whether or not the "exorcism" works idk it still has to get threaded that's on Lavvy and Wolfie to get to when they can. )
As it was my fault this happened to YOU, allow me to do whatever is reasonably within my limits to help OUT. ( Reparations, something better than lunch. ) It's a magician's duty to do what he can to assist those in need, after ALL. That's not something I'm going to renounce just because of a mistake I MADE.
no subject
[ Like the please makes it so he can't say no, no matter how impossible this task is, or the fact that there are little to no leads. He's a magician. It's his job, or something. ]
no subject
He has resources. It isn't a completely lost cause. It can't be. Maybe ask Clamor about how to find souls, or Lucifer... See if Haruka knows anything about it, since she's a ghost — are those the same? How do you find a missing soul...? Do dowsing rods work? Finding that person should be the first thing on his list. Ah— )
I'll do what I CAN. ( At least they have time to manage this much. ) If you remember anything else about the guy who put a piece of your soul into that TOY, or if you discovered anything ELSE... I'd appreciate it if you slipped a note or something like that into my locker — it's 101.
Any little thing that helps me will inevitably help YOU. ( A little obvious, but. ) ...For NOW, please enjoy the lunch I prePARED. You can keep the box — I have oTHERS.
( like if she's really pressed to return it to him then ok but he's ok if she doesn't )
no subject
Yeah, I'll let you know and—
[ She blinks in surprise at the lunch and, embarrassingly, her stomach growls in response to the prospect of actually eating something more than a granola bar and an apple swiped from home ec. ]
...Thanks. For all of that.
no subject
It's no proBLEM. ( it is kind of a problem but— ) Ah... Before I forGET, I wanted to ask you about someTHING. You don't owe me an answer though; it's pure curiosiTY.
( ... )
Do you want to talk to the Arisu twins the way you used TO?
no subject
I do, but... We used to be friends. But I don't think we can get back to the way things were before. They barely even look at me now, and I'm not going to force the issue.
no subject
Maya-chan told me that's because neither of them are certain how to approach YOU. ( technically, this is overstepping his bounds. he isn't technically supposed to butt into their business or anything like that about nao, but... ) You didn't hear that from me though, oKAY? I feel like she just let that slip on acciDENT.
( ... )
You also didn't get this suggestion from ME, but if you'd like to be friends aGAIN... Even if things might not be exactly the same as they used to BE, depending on what caused you three to split in the first PLACE... Then you should make the first MOVE.
It's hard for people who think they've ruined things to know when the right time is to try aGAIN. Too SOON, and it might worsen THINGS, but waiting too long could create an irreparable RIFT... ( it's hard. it's really pretty terribly hard, actually. ) Those twins are the cautious sort, aren't THEY? So it's likely the latter'll happen without some sort of hint to them on your side that it's okay to TRY.
( , but uh, )
That being SAID, it's still your CHOICE. I won't force you or anything like that -- I'm just offering some adVICE.
( that he should take himself for 90% of his relationships rn but let's deal with that tomorrow okay )
no subject
No, you're right. I appreciate that, Natsume. We used to play together, before everything went to hell, and that should be enough for me to try again.
no subject
I wish you the best of LUCK. ( A little smile. ) While I'll still do my best to return your soul to YOU... Dealing with people is more my specialTY, so if you have need of anymore advice regarding that type of THING, don't hesitate to come by 2-D and ask for ME.
no subject
What's the best way to deal with Ouma?
no subject
But Nao's in the same class as him, right? So there's no way for her to do that... Hmmm. )
Depends on how you're dealing with him NOW. I wouldn't want to suggest something you're already doing that isn't working already, you SEE.
no subject
[ So basically any advice is good advice when they're starting from nothing ]
It's tough, 'cause he knows what he's doing but acts like he doesn't and doesn't tell anybody, so what good is that to anybody?
no subject
people like himouma )You have two choiCES. Either you just ignore HIM, or you act overly friendLY. I get the feeling he's the type of person who'll just try harder if you ignore him THOUGH, because that shows that his presence annoys you and he seems to enjoy that type of THING. ( :/ assigns ouma komaedakin bc he can ) ConverseLY, being friendly might turn him OFF... At least, that's my experience with boys like Ouma-kun.
no subject
[ No worries there, then, because it's clear that she's not overly friendly by default. Or minimum level friendly, even. ]
So my only option is to "tolerate" him... great. That's fine. It's not like I mean to make friends, so... what we have is fine.
no subject
( And yet!! )
There is always the option of "murDER," but I'd like to think you're better than killing people because they're annoying YOU. Also, I don't think he'd die that easiLY. Cockroaches can survive nuclear fallout, after ALL.
no subject
I wouldn't kill him! Not for real— it's just... threats, and I get mad easily, but I wouldn't... He doesn't deserve to die for being annoying.
[ In the heat of the moment, she doesn't think she would kill him. but, you know. heat of the moment. ]
