[crystallomancy]

( ugh.

natsume pauses, wishing sena had just been like every other ghost content to ignore him and walk around without a care, then turns back around with half a smile as he... returns to walking towards his classroom, pausing a few feet short of sena, though. )

...It's good to see YOU, Sena-senpai. ( it isn't, actually. and yet it is, because he can finally say something he's been meaning to say for a while— ) I'm sorry for what hapPENED.

( even if it wasn't him.

even if he couldn't control it.

...he's sorry. )

[obsessiveness]

[ and that was it! natsume apologized, and right off the bat too. sena was expecting that he'd have to pry those words out of his underclassman's mouth, but it looks like natsume's being a lot more cooperative this time. color him surprised... and pale, and lifeless.

izumi purses his lips, as if he's about to spit out a snappy comeback, but -- nothing. he should be outright furious, should be reaching for natsume's neck right now to make it even, but his usual anger doesn't come. seems that being dead has tempered his... well, temper, somewhat.

it's frustrating. ]

I just wanna know... what exactly happened back there. Like, you weren't usually that bloodthirsty? Nor jacked as hell like Mikejima.

[crystallomancy]

( he snorts softly at the wording—he can't help it. )

...There was a soul contained within that puzzle box—the toy HORSE. ( ... ) More accurateLY, a piece of one that was bound there from someone who was very SCARED, and very despeRATE.

( there's fondness, there. sympathy. nao is a ... friend, he supposes. someone he is friendly with. )

It's only my guess—though it's a very good one—that breaking the toy horse rather than solving its puzzle properly corrupted IT, and it possessed the nearest person: ME. I... ( ... ) It felt as if everyone was out to get ME. Adrenaline took oVER, and everything was a BLUR, and I...

( ... )

And then you remember the REST. ( murder. ) After THAT, your bodies were naturally discoVERED, and everyone took their time investigaTING. Kudo-chan was among their numBER... She was disTRAUGHT.

( and... there's more to that, to chiaki, but he holds mum about it. sena only asked about what happened there. nothing else. )

[obsessiveness]

[ he hovers there, listening... his memories are a little spotty now that he's kicked it, which explains why he's not feeling particularly murderous as of the moment -- but he does remember the horse toy. who doesn't? that piece of shit toy was the one that got him into this mess! ]

Ugh, it's that stupid ass toy... I wasn't able to solve it when I was trying to confront Sato last time.

[ fuck horses, honestly. ]

Well, it's not like I can forgive you for killing me, but I guess if that thing possessed me at the time, I could've killed you too. [ a shrug, like it's the most normal thing to admit. ] So like, what now? Am I going to live as a ghost forever? Don't forget that we have our respective careers waiting for us at ES, you know.

[crystallomancy]

( MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooy )

You might come back one DAY. Inaba-chan DID. ( hmmmmmm. ) But there's no guarantee that we'll get to go back to ES as we ARE, Sena-san.

( ... )

We're already DEAD.
