Eugeo...

[walks back over to him and drops the branch for a second to take off the scarf again and thoroughly wrap it around his neck and face, until only his nose and eyes remain visible]

I'm gonna try my best to help with this, so you have to try too, okay?

[bluerosestyle]

Yuuki...

[his voice is muffled for obvious reasons]

[sleeplessknight]

I don't want you to be stuck here all by yourself, it's too sad.

[bluerosestyle]

. . .

Mm. I don't want to be here either. But I don't see an option that wouldn't make things worse...

I'll keep thinking about it.

[sleeplessknight]

[this face, it looks like she's ready to argue against that too, but just. huffs!!! and picks up her branch again]

Fine.

[bluerosestyle]

[watches her do that in silence, probably until she's ready to go, but then]



If you have something to say, you can say it. I'm not happy with this either.

[sleeplessknight]

Then don't act like this is the way things should be!

[bluerosestyle]

I know all of this is wrong! But what else can I do?!

[sleeplessknight]

[flinches a little but doesn't back down]

I don't know! All I know is I don't like it and I want to help, so that's what I'm gonna do!

[bluerosestyle]

Thank you. You're... always so good to me, Yuuki.

[sleeplessknight]

Because I care about you! And I want you to be okay!

[bluerosestyle]

...Even if that's at other people's expense?

[sleeplessknight]

It doesn't have to be like that.

[bluerosestyle]

Normally, yeah. But it is like that in Imeeji.

[sleeplessknight]

Because of how we're always forced to make choices that harm others?

[bluerosestyle]

Yeah.

[sleeplessknight]

...



The problem is, there is no right choice to make in those cases. The games are designed to make us feel miserable no matter what. But you shouldn't blame yourself for that.

[bluerosestyle]

[nods]

I don't blame others for it. But seeing some of my unitmates prioritize their own loved ones over everyone else's just... makes me mad.

[gestures at the tree]

That was my way to deal with that, too. Cutting down the branches doesn't make me feel better about my unitmates, but at least if I'm here alone I don't have to see anyone's disappointment. Even if I'm failing everyone, if no one's counting on me, I don't have to fight anyone on Taisho... But I hate it.

[sleeplessknight]

[steps closer again, dropping the branch once more to pull him into a hug while he's still sitting. just wrapping her arms around him as she holds him close]

[bluerosestyle]

[ah...]

[bluerosestyle]

[hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhugs her back

:(]

[sleeplessknight]

You've never disappointed me.

[bluerosestyle]

[yeah he's crying]

[sleeplessknight]

[NOOOOOO

just holds him tighter, running her fingers through his hair]

[bluerosestyle]

[aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I hope you weren't in a hurry...]
