[ the body is still there.

there's no snow to cover it. it's still there and he wants to run away, but he can't because there's nothing to cover up this mess.

shuri's thoughts are terribly disjointed. he won. he won, he won, he won!! it was a cheap shot, but he still won and that should be all that matters!

he steps back, unsteady on his feet... the voice? he twitches, looking from side to side. ] Konatsu? Where-? Where?

[acowardlyoak]

[acowardlyoak]

blood. he's covered in... ]

[tinyhawk]

[Sigh.] Shuri! What are you wearing?

[video]

[acowardlyoak]

[ he's too out of it to even be delighted about konatsu saying his name. ] My... my uniform.

[video]

[tinyhawk]

Including your jacket?

[video]

[acowardlyoak]

Yes...
