( she could lie. she could avoid saying anything. he's a polite man, he'll let her deflect... but... what has her selective silence done? nothing. )

Its... I won't say it's rare in humans back home. It's circumstantial though. ... ( a deep breath- but when she speaks again, she's quieter. ) Seeing the supernatural is a sign that you're going to die soon. Unless you're connected to it another way, it's... a sign. I. I have maybe a year left, unless Hanako-kun and I can change it.

... Please don't tell Noah-kun.

[................ oh.

well that sucks.

He's caught off guard, and it shows. But on the other hand... he's already a dead man himself. And while he'd never want to subject a sweet girl like Nene to what he had to go through, death feels a lot less inevitable and inescapable when you've escaped it once before. There are ways of cheating death... and by her own admission, she and Hanako are trying to do exactly that.

He puts a gentle hand on her shoulder, lowering his voice along with her.]

I won't tell him if you don't want me to... but you're always welcome to ask us for help, you know.

( it sure does! failure is a heavy possibility and no one is okay with it. even the one who'd benefit the most from it hates the idea of her dying. )

... I'm not even sure... where to begin. But. Hanako-kun won't fail me. And I'm not gonna let this place get me.

( she says that, but she has one tally mark and there's no way of knowing what it's from- even if she's not sure what the marks mean. the touch is reassuring, though. )

I- I'm sorry, that was a lot, wasn't it?
