[ c-ta, on the other hand... looks...well, bad. his gaze is unfocused with pain that is both physical and emotional. only when yor calls out does he jolt, and immediately regrets that-- ow, his shoulder. ]
Last time, it disappeared and was replaced by a letter from Kokkuri-san. Keep an eye on it? Just… don’t open it, I guess. I don’t know what could happen to it. Or to you guys.
Is it still in your room? I could see if I can lock it in there, or seal it away someplace.
[There are many things she doesn't understand from other worlds, she's realizing, so it might be best to just do what she can to take preventative measures.]
[Pericles had told her much the same last week, and she couldn't bring herself to really believe it, but...
This truly did prove as much, didn't it? She has no power here. She can't rush in and fight off the bad guys to protect the ones she loves. Instead, she can only wake up in the morning and hope it won't be their corpse found when it inevitably comes time for it.
She has nothing to say to his cries, not after what he did, not after what she did, not after what they all did- but she will wait with him.
[ his cries quiet down after a minute or so as his emotions flatten out for what might be the hundredth time today. the guilt is crushing him alive, and he doesn't know what to do with it other than to try and ride it all out.
he sniffles, rubbing at his eyes with the back of his hand. ]
Is there--[ he draws in a shaky breath. ] Is there anything else you wanted?
[ because why else would yor stay there? all he can do is brace himself. ]
[ he gives yor an owlish stare, confused for a moment. and while he doesn't really understand why, he decides to ask for one last thing. something selfish. ]
Can you...um...continue looking after Suga? [ a pause. no, that's not right. ] I don't...mean protecting him from dying--I don't think anyone can do that anymore. Just make sure he eats and stuff. Doesn't do something stupid because he feels guilty. He probably hates me. [ he looks terrified just by the thought of that. but-- ] He should hate me. And...well...take care of yourself too. Yor-san. Um...that's it. I think.
...You're someone very important to him. Whether or not that changed, I wanted to give you a chance.
[Besides, he'll face punishment for what he did, even if it isn't at her hands.]
If you and Riku end up in the same place... I think you owe it to Tenn to try to look out for him. No matter how much he fears or hates you.
[She still doesn't get it entirely, the talk of the dead and how they would remain in this place, and she's not a terribly spiritual person anyway. But after coming here...
Well, if there's a chance of that, she may as well say her piece on it.]
[ he knows about the occult from a-ya, but that's about it. things like spiritualism, heaven or hell...well, he's never gave it much thought until now. and the idea of c-ta, a murderer, ending up in the same place as someone as innocent as riku... it's a bit hard to believe.

Y-Yor-san...
[ what do you even say? ]
Hi.
no subject
[Quiet and polite as she comes to a stop at his cell, hands folded in front of her.]
...I wanted to talk to you about that book. I still don't understand, but... is there anything that needs to be done with it?
no subject
[ he really doesn’t. ]
Last time, it disappeared and was replaced by a letter from Kokkuri-san. Keep an eye on it? Just… don’t open it, I guess. I don’t know what could happen to it. Or to you guys.

[ because he’s not sure what even Can seal that creepy thing ]
no subject
Maybe the clock tower...? Or maybe Suga and I could make a box to seal it in, and we could bury it in the desert...
[Hn. Well, there's things they can try, at least.]
no subject
As long… as long as you two stay safe. That’s fine.
no subject
It's true. I can talk as much as I want about protecting all of you, but I couldn't do a thing about it in the end.
I'll keep looking out for Suga and Tenn as much as I can. But... there might be a day when I fall asleep, and when I wake up again...
[They'll be gone.]
no subject
[ he says it with resignation. in the back of his head, part of him wishes that the knife would have actually lodged itself in his neck.
he’s so tired. ]
Yor-san. Yor-san…
[ he hurt her. horribly. he hurt her and she’s still here talking to him when she probably should be killing him.
his shoulders shake and he doesn’t know why he’s crying this time. fear? grief? guilt? all of the above? ]
I’m sorry— I’m sorry—!

I'll do my best, though. To take care of him.
no subject
Then that's all I had to say to you.
...It won't be by my hand. But may your end be swift.
no subject
[ well that's definitely a send off. ]
Okay. Thanks.

She turns and leaves him to his cell.]
