THIRTY-ONE:
One year.
It has been one year, as of today, since I "returned" to this place - having spent some untold and not recalled period here before.
Biding and wasting time. I may go back to the instant that I left (and again lose my hand, I assume), having lost nothing there, but in the meantime every second lasts a minute, stewed in futility.
Kurosaki has left. Not that it matters, one way or another; if he is here, if he isn't, if any of us are. When Inoue-san leaves, every cog will turn just as it had. Arisawa-san will watch us leave, left behind again.
It's too bad you had to come here, Sado-kun. There's nothing useful to be obtained in this place. Shadow City or clock, murder mysteries, psychotics, the end of the world- it's all nonsense. Everything is recycled.
And Kurosaki
... We don't need him here, either. But for Inoue-san, and Kuchiki-san, and--
[ooc: SOB elephant in the room= tight lips are opening. Perhaps about more than just this? ]
