Nightmares born of worry. I can claim they plague me so badly I can hardly get a night's rest, that I wake up distressed and can't manage to settle down. It would help if there was a way to make me look more tired, but in any case, I can say someone said to ask. And if we can't all go in, we should think of what we need to say, so that whoever's chosen can get the answers.
[pausing for a moment, she's lost in thought.]
As real or not real as any of that might have been...I don't have my ribbon anymore. I gave it away and it's still gone. Something had to have changed. I don't know what, but it did.
no subject
( he's quiet at hinata's words — the emotions and feelings he feels, that those are real. it makes him chuckle when they come from someone like him who lost their memories not once, but twice, so this would be a subject for him to comment on. if it was any other day, komaeda would have rolled his eyes, and ignored hinata, but he stares towards the other...
there's a part of komaeda who wishes that his feelings weren't real, because those are the scariest part... like being here now under the roof of this room — it could collapse, and everyone could die instantly. )
Hinata-kun, I do think you should take that offer with Adams-san... both of you may be able to use it to your advantage, as for me and Sakasaki-kun... we'll go about other methods. Like learning where that place was... Wonder if it was Saransk... he'd joke about us going there in our younger years.
( at the mention of the ribbon, komaeda pauses, eyes closed before exhaling. it's only for a moment as he finds himself walking a few steps away. )
no subject
( ...It's part of his profession's skill set, looking pretty. He can make someone look worse, too. Saransk makes him glance over to Komaeda though—Saransk...
Natsume briefly turns to smile back at Helena and Hinata, even if only one of them can see it. )
But make sure you rest up before you GO. Today's been harrowing on all of US... It wouldn't do to go too SOON.
( But then he takes his steps after Komaeda, catching his ... sleeve, yeah, to get his attention, and he lowers his voice: ) What else did he say about SaranSK, Nagito-kun? Because Kudo-chan also suggested she and I could go there for one of our very far away date spots when she won me as a boyfriend for a WEEK.
no subject
...Komaeda-kun? ( he asks, lowering his voice even more as he finds that this conversation should be between natsume and him. he stands close, leaning towards natsume to keep his voice within hearing distance since he already talks low. )
Ah... this will sound crazy but... ( a date spot? ) We went there to elope... we hid for a week amongst the bleachers of the Mordovia Arena.
( which ori says linear time is a construct, and so it was built earlier to, and created fast enough to fit rokkun's needs. )
I'm unsure if that location is the ideal place for a romantic getaway, but... it is home to the Family Monument, and... he's a person who loves his family, if that symbolizes anything. ...Did Kudo-san tell you where you'd both stay during your time there?
no subject
No, she hadN'T. She told me that if the forest didn't work OUT, she'd like to go somewhere far away that she'd never been beFORE, and mentioned that PLACE. ( and then guam, and getting passports from rokuro. speaking of i don't remember if he ever got it, things to doublecheck. ) Saransk, of all plaCES... I wasn't aware it was such a tourist TRAP. Aren't Moscow and Saint Petersburg more popuLAR? Not to mention YekaterinBURG.
no subject
...Huh. When I first met Kudo-san, she was attached to his arm... so they have plausible history together, and it was Rokkun who told Sena-kun and I that we all attended the same middle school together. She could have learned it from him...
( and the boy that they met in the memory was nothing more than fresh out of the very place. pale green eyes look towards natsume, meeting his gaze as he speaks again. )
As for Arata Mizuki... I can't say he hates his own sons, I've been told that he was the best father despite coming home once a week, but his relationship with Rokkun is... strained. ( from their conversation, he was trying to expose komaeda to an obvious disconnect. like the memories of the him "before" wasn't the him "now", and so the beliefs that rokkun have are different to what komaeda knows. that makes the construct of their lives a lie, everything the other knows about him... ) ...This means he'd know more about Saransk, so he can enlighten us together... if you aren't busy, Sakasaki-kun.
( besides, known murderers versus a set sent through the nurse's recommendation could give two different conversations, and so it wouldn't be bad to see what information they can get from this. besides, he trusts hinata's own intuition, and if komaeda believed in anyone on jabberwock island despite the hiccups in their investigations — he quickly glances at hinata out the corner of his eye, and a passing thought of if he'll save the arata's futures too. helena showcased the type of hope she has, something that sits on komaeda's mind, and he believes that something will come together if they link into pairs — brave, strong, afraid of the accidents, and the loss... but that makes her even stronger.
he doesn't worry for them. )
If he can give us insight on locations, we can see how it connects Kudo-san and Rokkun, Kogamo-kun as well. We can catch up with both Adams-san and Hinata-kun, and bring our information together...
( that said, he has to talk to rokkun personally, but there's this uncomfortable feeling in his stomach... )
no subject
[her tone is still soft, still kind, but there's a thread of exhaustion in it, inflexible as steel. her patience only will last for so long, and this is strange, and it's been a long, long length of however many hours it has been.]
If we don't know, then fill us in, because those kinds of secrets aren't meant to be kept.
no subject
( he hadn't been thinking much of it; komaeda's given him much more to consider... he steps back and turns to her, standing beside komaeda with a slight smile. he's glad she's blind, now; he knows it doesn't reach his eyes. )
Ngito-kun and I will also visit Arata-sensei, but for a different reason than the two of YOU... He's right when he says we might be able to get different information from him thanks to our ( pause ) previous invitations to his ofFICE. That's ALL.
no subject
( he pauses, chuckling to himself, but is that him stretching the truth, or being honest; perhaps its the way he looks at natsume — those eyes are telling, and with them being so gold... it's funny. anyway, it's hard to tell with him considering he takes nothing seriously. )
That said, when we left with the body... did anything else specific happen, or did you two stay with Kogamo-kun until...
( he's not sure how long, but if there's anything else the group needs to share, then it should be good. he's looking away from natsume, and glancing towards helena and hinata. )
no subject
He has to take a second to breathe, thinking about it again, but he powers through the heavy feeling in his chest.]
We were with them for a little while. Not a really long time- [Not long enough, never long enough-] -but... I hadn't even realized you two had left with... the body. I think Helena probably realized first, since I was distracted. That was when we talked to Kogamo a little and learned about their father. But after we realized, when Helena opened the door... [Hinata shakes his head, disbelief coloring his voice.] Outside, at first I thought it might be snow, but... Snow doesn't look like the world fading away into nothing. It was... eerie.
[Even now, it still sends a shiver up his spine, an indescribable feeling of wrongness.]
After that I set Kogamo down, and Helena and I left the house to try and find you two. The last thing we could hear was- [don't leave me alone don't leave me alone don't leave me alone] Kogamo was... calling for us... But then we ended up in the darkness and lights, and we found you again.
