[ Because anego said they're always right, and she's always right ]
no subject
( ... )
I'm leaving.
no subject
[ can't remember where they are but they're going to bodily block Komaeda from leaving ]
If you think that, then prove me wrong!
no subject
...Is that what you want to do, turn it around on me?
( he sighs, looking off to the side. )
Having hope means taking your past, using it, and moving forward, but you're ashamed of yourself, and that's why you hide because of your own insecurities.
no subject
[ But despite the declaration in their tone, it's quieter, eye contact shifting away. ]
It's not like people have to know my past. I did what I did so I could move forward...
[ They did what they did so they could be with the person they loved, because if they didn't... there was nothing else to live for, there was no point to existence, the end result would have been the same no matter what. ]
no subject
( because that's just leading someone on, and komaeda wonders if he's stupid for even getting this far. he closes his eyes, taking a deep breath before his eyes lift up to look at npckun. )
I don't want you to take hope as a joke, as if it's meaningless because when it's all said a done, you only humored the idea... I want to know what hope you intend to grasp with your own hands with the encouragement of others.
no subject

...I'm going to save Aniki. And then... maybe he'll save me.
[ If he never died, then neither would they— they wouldn't have experienced loss, they wouldn't have have become so clingy and anxious and duplicitous. Would have been less naïve, more sociable. Maybe they would have loved the dark, the water, the cold, the quiet. Maybe things would have turned out a lot better, and they would've been happier.
With a restart, Keigo Arata could have grown up happy and well adjusted. And the shopkeep that stands in front of Komaeda now will never have existed, just as promised by the end of the school year. ]
no subject
( there's no force behind his voice, but there's no patient understanding, it's as if he's searching for the method to debate whether it'll help or not. the other has hidden so much, from the fact that their life means nothing to maybe some other parts about them, and komaeda won't know unless he's told. there's a hand on his hip, a bored expression on his face as he watches the other that speaks almost with a plea, and it's their "maybe" that makes komaeda shake his head. )
You have no hope in him, do you... Instead, you must see us all as failures, that we're chasing after something unobtainable...
( he clears his throat, lifting a head as fingers run through his hair. )
Maybe... To say things like maybe... do you want to be saved?
no subject
...I want to, but that would take a miracle. Aniki doesn't know, and I'm not going to tell him.
no subject
( if there's hope, then there will be hope, and komaeda will walk over despite his reservations before, and lean forward so he can look at their face they're attempting to hide. )
What do you believe will happen in the end? Do you think everything we've done so far is worthless... do you think the people around you will let you fall into despair...? When you say "but" it truly sounds like you've given up.
no subject
... ]
I don't think it's been worthless. I just...
[ "just" "but" "don't" They close their mouth, lips pressed tight together.
... ]
I'm scared. I don't know what to do.
no subject
( maybe from rokkun, he's annoying and reckless, and who knows what he'd do, but he doesn't seem to know much about the contracts that npckun is dealing with. that was unfortunate of all things, but with a sigh. )
It's just your soul, right? There has to be a way to break it without giving yourself away...
no subject
I'm not breaking my soul!!
no subject
( "just your soul", no big deal. )
Your contract... why did you go through with it, were you aware of the fine print?
no subject
At that point, I had nothing left to lose.
[ Just their life. Just their soul. ]
no subject
( he's not proud, but he seems a little irritable, maybe it's the conversation, maybe he just can't imagine how the other chose such a hopeless situation. he trains his face into a small smile, normal, as he sits down since the other had blocked him from leaving. )
...Hm, he'll be distressed when he finds out.
no subject
[ Hnng, this would have been more effective if Komaeda were still standing and npckun could shout up at him, but they'll have to settle for sitting too, both of them back on the ground. ]
You can't tell him what I did. He'd blame himself, and it's not his fault.
