17th Revolution: Not going anywhere yet

[child_radical]

[Voice - Inhaling shakily he begins to speak.]

It's not dark...I'm not bleeding...there's no poison wracking havoc within my body...I'm intact as I was before I died at the hands of...that...whatever it was.

The obligatory replay of my life...didn't make things any better. Everything that I've ever protested against, every opponent I fought, everyone

Huey-kun...

[action]

[child_radical]

[He tucks his hands into his pocket.]

Try as I may...from what I've gathered everyone who has the capacity to be a older sister is like that.

[action]

[revengeisalie]

[Now she laughs genuinely and smiles at him.]

Haha, really? That's probably because older sisters are supposed to know better.

[action]

[child_radical]

[Even though he doesn't show it outwardly he is glad that Rin is smiling fully again.]

Yeah.

[action]

[revengeisalie]

So...

[The smile fades again; Huey's temporary death too recent for Rin to really feel like it.]

Is your roommate here?

[action]

[child_radical]

[He shakes his head.]

He's been gone all day. Knowing him he's been hunting down whomever attacked me.

[action]

[revengeisalie]

That's probably his way of showing he cares.

[action]

[child_radical]

You're right.

[action]

[revengeisalie]

So... and now?

[Stands there a bit forlorn.]

Should we go sit down somewhere?

[action]

[child_radical]

[He lowers his head and scratches at the back of his neck before turning around and walking towards the direction of the living room.]

Follow me.

[action]

[revengeisalie]

[Does so, looking a little depressed in sympathy.]

[action]

[child_radical]

[He sits down on a sofa.]

Anywhere's fine.

[action]

[revengeisalie]

[Sits down... somewhere. With a respectful distance, but not too far.]

... how are you dealing?

[action]

[child_radical]

Better than how I was when I woke up.

[He leans forward and clenches his hands together tightly.]

...I remember it all. Every sensation before I died...I remember how sad I was when I realized how stupid I've been at times.

Especially with...

[action]

[revengeisalie]

[Is curious at his last sentence, but focuses on her cheering up powers for now.]

Everyone does stupid things sometimes. And sometimes... sometimes it seems like that's all one's life is full of, but that isn't so. You're a very smart person, and a good one.

[action]

[child_radical]

Yeah...but I can't help but feel a bit aggravated at myself for missing out for how I've acted in the past.
