[why

do people

do this to me.]

Zanki-san? Zanki-san? [t-touches gently]

[rockinurzen]

*quite dead, but the clock just reached zero. jerks suddenly and takes a huge gasping breath*

What happened?

[rockinurzen]

*grabbing his right forearm and checking for something before relaxing. softly*

I think you know.

[dearestboy]

... I understand, but... [he's pretty much radiating worry] it's very lucky that you respawned here. Did you even save? I mean, what if you didn't come back and you were gone forever?

[rockinurzen]

I didn't and I won't; you know why.

*hand on his shoulder* I did what I could. It's finished now.

[dearestboy]

That's what really counts - that you went out and helped people.

[rockinurzen]

*bright smile* Aa, that's the most important thing.

*sitting up but not attempting to stand yet*

[dearestboy]

Is that how you originally...?

[sits down beside you♥]

[rockinurzen]

*looking up at the sky for a bit* Mm, about the same. For the same reason at least.

*touching his chest briefly. there's a very faint patch of discolored skin there, not quite a scar. it's mirrored on his back*

[dearestboy]

I thought so.

[o-oh] Did you get that from...?

[rockinurzen]

It was ten years ago. We aren't destroyed by it in the same way as Makamou but pure sound can kill us just the same.

[dearestboy]

Pure sou- wait, an Oni did that to you?

[rockinurzen]

My master.

[dearestboy]

[no words.]

[rockinurzen]

*soft. the faintest trace of underlying bitterness but mostly... forgiveness* She had her reasons. It was the Makamou that had murdered her family and only the sacrifice of a life could kill it.

But she missed at the last moment.
