08: Spiral's End

[broclone.livejournal.com]

At least it's all over now, right?

Right. And I'm supposed to be smiling since everything's been solved already. I won.

Why do I feel like crying?

[You might just hear someone punching your front door, or something to that effect. If you check outside, there will be one (1) Ayumu looking very downcast, about to cry. Stuff like that.]

When did it start raining?

[ooc; Ayumu has been canon-updated to the end of the manga's main story! Just right before the epilogue. Nothing important has changed, but he's... going be really emo for now but will cheer up sooner or later. Most likely later.]

[...SURE]

If we could help it, I'm sure we'd all decide to do the same thing.

[broclone.livejournal.com]

[m... maybe later] Yeah. All of us.

[skirtingdanger]

[pauses near the kitchen to just kinda... look at you :/]

... Are you okay?

[broclone.livejournal.com]

[--changing the topic is go]

Hey, are you cold? I'm feeling cold.

[skirtingdanger]

[... sigh :| going in]

You like tea, right?

[broclone.livejournal.com]

I don't really want tea right now.

[skirtingdanger]

It'll warm you up, if nothing else.

[broclone.livejournal.com]

I don't need that kind of warmth.

[skirtingdanger]

Then... anything else at all?

[broclone.livejournal.com]

[please let me hug you]

[skirtingdanger]

[... ... sure]

... A-- Ayumu...?

[broclone.livejournal.com]

[and letting go!]

Don't think anything of it. I just needed to feel warm.

[skirtingdanger]

By hugging? That isn't like you at all.

[broclone.livejournal.com]

It's a common way of sharing warmth.

[skirtingdanger]

Before now you never would have done that... Now I really think something's wrong.

[broclone.livejournal.com]

Something's always wrong with me. You should have gotten used to it by now.

[skirtingdanger]

That isn't what I-- Why are you acting like this? Did something happen?

[broclone.livejournal.com]

I told you, I met my brother.

[skirtingdanger]

-- ?

[broclone.livejournal.com]

I was back home, and I met my brother. It was kind of like the "final battle" in video games.

Something like that.

[skirtingdanger]

Huh? So what were you...

[... then again, wondering if she should ask at all :/a]

[broclone.livejournal.com]

Sorry if I'm being weirder than you right now.

[skirtingdanger]

[you get a frown for that, but only briefly.

then pulls two cups out from a cabinet.]

[broclone.livejournal.com]

This is so embarrassing.

[skirtingdanger]

[and grabbing various other things to make tea with!]

Maybe this will make you feel better.
