Beautiful Morning with You

[always_ashes]

[After A and Teru went back to her room, they didn't do a whole lot. Teru finally was able to get some sleep, and A didn't leave, just as she promised

[Unfortunately, he mostly looks peaceful because he's drugged. His eyes open, after a while, but he doesn't move.]

[always_ashes]

[She gives him a small smile when he wakes up.]

Hi.
Had a nice rest...? I made you food.

[righteous_pen]

...I don't think I'm hungry. But I can't feel anything, so amybe I am. It's kind of you anyway.

[always_ashes]

I thought it might help a little. Coffee and toast is in the living room if you want it.

[She smiles, but still looks concerned.]
You feeling any better...?

[righteous_pen]

...no.

[He might be slightly more lucid this morning, though.]

There's nothing left.

[always_ashes]

[She sighs sadly, not sure what to say. She still looks worried.]

...It's...going to be hard, for a while.
But you're...you'll get through this. I'll do whatever I can to help...

[She sighs. In some way, she understands.]

[righteous_pen]

...

...I don't think I want to get through it.

[always_ashes]

...I know.

Believe it or not, I do understand. When I found out that I was being used by L, that I wasn't really important and I was just an experiment...well, you know what happened. I don't want that to happen to you, I want to help you...

...At the very least, I can be here for you.

[righteous_pen]

There's nothing inside me, Angela. It's hollow. It must have always been like that.

...can you bring the toast through here? I can't get up.

[always_ashes]

[She shakes her head.]
Teru, that's not true. You're not hollow inside.
If you were, then you wouldn't be like this in the first place...You cared too much, and...this happened. I'm sorry, I'm probably not making sense. I'll go get your food.
[She nods and goes to get the food, coming back a minute later with the tray.]

They were out of tea, I hope coffee is all right. It's decaf.

[righteous_pen]

...coffee is okay. I can't taste it, but it's warm.

[always_ashes]

It should help a little. The toast is warm too, and you shouldn't starve yourself.

[She sighs and rejoins him in the bed.]
You wanna talk...? About anything? It doesn't have to be important.

[righteous_pen]

[He shakes his head.] I can't think of anything. Everything ends in death. ...do you know any unimportant things?

[always_ashes]

I'm sure I could think of something...
Sometimes, talking just sort of helps. It doesn't even have to be important, just mindless noise...

[She frowns and sighs a bit.]
You do know I still want to go back with you, no matter where you go after this place, right?

[righteous_pen]

...Angela, murderers get the death penalty. Even without him.

[always_ashes]

...Oh.
[She'd forgotten about that.]

...Maybe we could go back to my world...B...B and Near are acting as L there, maybe they could do something...
