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.]

I've given up on being happy a long time ago. I'll never get anything good, anyway. Not ever.

... T-that's not true! [Tugs a little on your sleeve.] D-don't you have friends, a-and people that you like being around...? [Sorry that our logic is kind of fail, we're not good at this.]

[broclone.livejournal.com]

[that is hitting... something in him so he's just going to look down at the ground]

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

[We're not so bold as to assume we're your friend, Ayumu, but we are at least going to make a moe attempt to fight for your happiness. Tugging on your sleeve some more.] T-those people... won't like it if you're sad...

[just going to look away, orz]

I don't trust anyone enough for them to be considered a friend.

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

[Slightly adamant attitude that we don't usually have, here.] T-then, what about the people that think you're their friend...?

[broclone.livejournal.com]

That's not my problem.

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

... [Goes quiet for a while, just periodically tugging on your sleeve and frowning at our feet.]

[broclone.livejournal.com]

Look.

You should go back to the blimp before you get sick.

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

[This face.] ... N-not while you're still sad. [God then we may be out in the rain until our skin gets so waterlogged it falls off.]

[broclone.livejournal.com]

I'm fine.

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

[This face is doubting you.]

[broclone.livejournal.com]

I'm not forcing you to believe me, but I'm telling you, I'm fine.

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

... [Letting go of your sleeve, then.]

[broclone.livejournal.com]

I'm thankful for your concern, though.

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

[Lot of good it did you, considering you're still standing here in the rain. ...Rain...] ...

[Guess what Ayumu, we're picking up the leaf and shaking if off and holding it out to you. Take it, goddammit.] I-if you won't go inside, at least keep this.

[broclone.livejournal.com]

... But that's yours.

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

[ADAMANT HEADSHAKE. Pushes it at you some more.] Y-yours now.

[broclone.livejournal.com]

[FINE. TAKES THE GODDAMN LEAF]

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

[GOOD. AND YOU'D BETTER KEEP IT, TOO. ...maybe kind of smiling a little.] ...y-you know where the blimp is, right?

[broclone.livejournal.com]

I know where it is.

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

I-if you need something... M-Maka's better at that than I am. [Which is our way of saying COME OVER IF YOU NEED HELP OKAY. And we're maybe kind of shuffling backwards a few steps because you told us to go.]

[broclone.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'll do that. [nodnod]

[namescorners.livejournal.com]

[orz we don't want to leave, but you told us to and we don't want to be a pest and orz. We'll come back out later and find you again.] ...t-the leaf is yours now, okay? Take good care of it.

[broclone.livejournal.com]

I will, don't worry.

[are you gone? are you gone now? are you gone now? what about now? now?]
