[itp: IC axe crazy fallout]

[soulbondage]

[This past week, a certain schoolgirl who normally frequents the Mess Hall at all hours and knocks on all her friends' doors to visit... hasn't been. It's almost like she's been avoiding people.

However, today, under a tree reading a book (and wearing a scarf around her neck) -- a wild Kagura appears!]

[wasn't thinking of looking for her out here, but... spotted. comes over but stops a fair distance away. a safety distance, if you will.]

With so many civilians dead, the department decided they had no choice but to go after her. Only, Yomi really was amazing... she cut down my father and everyone else like it was nothing. "Let's stop being humans, Kagura!"

I think Yomi was still Yomi, even if it was just a little, because she should have been able to dodge. But when she came at me, instead of saving her, I killed her.

[she's just going to cover her face and start crying, because this really isn't a fun memory and all]

[doesn't say anything, just pulls her into a hug.]

[soulbondage]

[just leaning into him and crying a little harder, because she was honestly expecting him to think she was awful and hate her]

[legally_blond]

[just keeps holding her]

I'm sorry.

[soulbondage]

[--what]

[soulbondage]

[and hurriedly wiping her eyes and pulling herself together]

...Sorry, I said a lot, didn't I?

[legally_blond]

I don't mind... look. I can't say I really understand what you have to go through. Or what kind of situation would need you to do... something like that. But I'm sorry it happened.

[soulbondage]

I guess it's just something like, 'protect the people who can't protect themselves, no matter what the cost'. Most people can't see spirits and ghosts, so it's up to those of us who can to keep them safe.

Anyway, I'd understand if you didn't really want to talk to me again.

[legally_blond]

...you do realise I came out here to tell you the same thing?

[soulbondage]

[laughing a little, that's kind of ironic]

Don't be like that, I'll always want to talk to Gavin-san.

[legally_blond]

And I'll always want to talk to you. Okay?

[soulbondage]

It's a deal, then.

[legally_blond]

[snugs her]

You can talk to me whenever you want. You should know that.

[soulbondage]

[hugs are always good]

[legally_blond]

[anything to make you feel better :(]
