[ ...

...

gets antsy waiting and goes outside into the hallway to see if Komaeda's out there ]

[commences]

( trot, trot, trot!! now they can see the life of komaeda-arata from afar, which means... the lights flicker above him from time to time and cancels out the sound of a certain shopkeeper's footsteps, and he stops to look up.

...

there's never a reason to look back when he's always guaranteed good things if he moves forward. )

[commences]

( he's watching the sunset... because that's why they're here, but while they're here... )

...Why don't you ever do it? People would like you, probably admire your efforts, thank you, and be grateful for your existence even more.

( he doesn't even look at him, but rokkun should understand... his inner rage that he has. )

[commences]

You're allowed to be in the class, so we can change them to night...

( that means crona can join, because they're catlike anyway. )

... Turn into that beast first, and then I'll give you this.

[starrypoint]

What, so you're throwing away our trysts beneath the night sky so easily now~? I'm hurt, I thought we were gonna stargaze together 'til our wishes came true~.

[nudge nudge... so cruel, so mean... and after making saying that promise-adjacent line...]

How're you gonna fix my lonely heart, huh? Keigo~. ♪

[commences]

( did you JUST track the thread. yep... yep...

is natsume trying to say komaeda-arata is giving him a headache? fair. though to him, he guesses the other has been going through a lot recently, so that makes sense. :( ...

he places his hands down on his lap, allowing natsume's question to go through first since that is a nice place to start — history, dates, things like that. )

...

[contrarily]

Yeah, that sounds like him.

( she snickers, a little amused, then shrugs. )

I dunno about that. Being empty isn't that bad, y'know? When you reach the point where nothing and no one matters... it sounds peaceful. ( and god knows she tried — failed, sure, because the extent of her emotion always overtakes whatever emptiness she feels inside, but...

well, it sounds nice.

not caring.

not worrying for these dumb, stupid idiots, and for whatever dumb, stupid plan they've got in mind. )

I'll fall apart soon, anyway. I... ( there's not much more loss she can take — not without heavy repercussions, anyway. ) Just make sure you stay safe, alright?

[adsum]

Never mind me. You— Kawai-san... [ His voice dips into a whine and he has to stop himself there, breathe in and then out and start over. ]

I know you have a lot of people there to hold you together, so don't... don't talk like that. You have to be present if you want to make it in this place. If you just... stop... if you just give up... you can't move forward. You'll be stuck forever.

[adsum]

Natsume-senpai said it wasn't a monster, but a—-

[ ... ]

That was Narumin?! No! Nonono you're wrong, he can't be!

[adsum]

[ Hiro shakes his head because no... She was the president but she wasn't Maya, so why should he care? ]

[adsum]

[ NO........ flickering lights mean an impending blackout and so those tap tap taps become taptaptaptaptaps until they're right behind Komaeda and making zero attempt to be stealthy. ]

[adsum]

What? Cry?

[ That's going to have the opposite effect, actually, he looks at Komaeda like he's crazy ]

[commences]

( aw... that's so cute, komaeda-arata isn't thinking that, but i sure am. )

Then who do you like?

[commences]

Uh... I didn't think you'd follow me, I thought you wanted to go our separate ways...

( he heard the rushing taps, but the lights aren't flickering anymore... they're normal, blinding as they were at first. )

Did someone talk to you, you can ignore them if they did!

[adsum]

You would have to scrape the sigils off my bones.

[ Or something like that, I can't remember if that's what they did but either way, it's supposed to be difficult for Kazuki to do it himself, unlike a mask that could fall off any time, like if he sneezes or runs into a wall. ]

[adsum]

[ leans back stopppp ]

We can still go stargazing. But if I'm with you, I don't want to spend the entire time looking up at the sky.

[commences]

...I give you opportunities to kill me, to take your anger out on me, and you always... do this.

( avoid it, change the subject, things like that. )

The sun is nice... what do you think, red would be a nice shade along with it.

[commences]

How do I go about that?

( he's not against the idea as he moves towards kazuki, and he even holds up the watering can for him to take. the problem here is that he's unable to touch him, his fingers go through his body easily... )

...If you take me to your bones, I'll see what I can do.

( someone that put everyone in danger, but helped their hope shine as well... the least komaeda-arata can do. )

[starrypoint]

Oh yeah? So what do you wanna do?

[he knows they have sleepovers planned... for example... but what else]

[commences]

( the way gmail hid this from me.

they'll see komaeda-arata opening his locker, and stacks, and stacks, and stacks of money, just... rich if npc-kun has really good eyes. he's picking out a few of it, and then he closes his locker after, and then slowly turn around... )

[carpevinum]

Listen, I'm not sure who the burnt body is.

[Hand... goes through hair again. By now he's fucked up all of his careful hairstyling he usually does.

But, really, disclaimer, Lucifer has no idea, because—]

The body in the pool was burnt beyond recognition, with no identifying features. It isn't Narumi, however. Narumi was found on the fourth floor...

[Lucifer goes on to explain how Narumi was found, you know, barely alive and clearly affected by the magic circle... the scene he walked in on and poked around in for a bit.]

...Narumi is alive. For now.

[adsum]

[ There's nothing fun on the walls, though the side of the room facing the courtyard has large windows with the curtains drawn apart to let the sunlight in. She got a great view of Izumi and them splatting to the ground a while ago. Memories. ]

Oh, it feels like ages ago. I had just started working here, and he helped show me the ropes.

[ So, this school. I refuse to give her a role in Arata family drama, she's not part of his past. ]

[adsum]

[ holds up and wiggles two fingers, his universal sign for his twin, he likes one person and one person on—-
okay, maybe two or three people. But that's it. ]

[adsum]

Oh. Um.

[ ... ]

I just finished investigating everything on my end. You haven't talked to anybody yet? You're so slow. I guess I'll have to help you.

[sisters]

( aw... he's endeared. if they want his company, guess he'll skip out on club activities for now. )

I'll be good, maybe I can even help you out on the sales pitches if it gets busy. I promised I'd help you out anyway, didn't I?
