[ ... Ryoji saw the contact list. It... was painful for him. Probably moreso than he wanted to admit. But he needed to tell the people who DID know her, right
( Read more... )
[ ... Yukari. This means more to him than he can probably say. ]
........ she did i cant pretend she didnt. it isnt exactly the same though... but... ill be down in a bit
[ He hasn't, at least, cried over this. That's silly. He wouldn't cry over this... Vriska would just call him a little wiggler if he did cry over her again. ]
forgot somthing in my room, but i'm coming back down in just a minute
[ It's a bit more hurried than her last.
She is actually in her room when she sends it, having remembered right after she sent the last one. She never did give a chance to give that diary to him, even if she'd planned to when she met Vriska.
action forever~!derparcanaAugust 5 2011, 07:02:29 UTC
[ Ryoji will be downstairs by the time Yukari gets back, sitting on the sofa.
He... isn't smiling, but he isn't crying, either. He simply seems a bit melancholy. He woke up to this, but he is staring at his SFC, thinking more of the people she knew aside from him.
And... he is holding his scarf. For once it is off, and the scar around his neck... a long thing line, is obvious. He had nearly been killed that day. The same incident that... also led to their Moirallegiance. ]
[ And down the stairs she goes, once she finally finds the yellow diary she's hidden away from her room. It's still in the bag, actually, smelling brand new, and she takes it with her--quickly spotting him sitting on the sofa.
...it's strange, really, to see him without the scarf on, and she certainly notices the scar, though she doesn't ask about anything just yet.
She just sits down next to him, the bag in her hand...searching for something meaningful to say. ]
[ He's quiet for a moment. It's mostly reminiscing on his part, really. When Yukari sits down next to him, he gives her a smile, though it IS a little forced. ]
Hey, Yukari-chan. Sorry... I'm a little embarrassed about this still.
Everyone's got scars. Just because you can't see them doesn't mean they aren't there.
[ ...and she doesn't want to make him relive it, if it's that painful for him; but she's curious, and she can't really hide that very well. Her hands clench tighter around the bag she's brought down with her as she asks. ]
Not anymore... though I guess if I really needed to know, I found out my blood color because of what happened that time. Then again, I'm not sure why I was surprised... you know, she died during that attack? I couldn't save her. So I... promised I would take care of her when she came back.
[ He's not surprised. God tier or not, they COULD die. Her death had been one of a hero, that time. It was what convinced him she was good, no matter what. ]
A lot of people have flaws, right? I know my message probably won't mean much to the others she was with. She didn't get along well with most of them. But I'm... going to try to change that. When she comes back.
You--you never really told me about what happened...
[ This is her first time seeing the scar, though she might have come close that time at the Host Club party when she noted how different it looked. She never really thought to ask to see what was beneath it-- ]
But it's...
I know it's hard, not being able to save somebody. It's just so easy to blame yourself--even if...even if it's not your fault--
[ Her father, Mitsuru-senpai's father...even...Minato-kun... ]
I hope...that she does come back.
[ Even if...when she does, there's no guarantee that she'll be the same. ]
... Well, I didn't exactly want you to know who did it. He's not a bad person... it was just that when he's not balanced, he... became one. Normally he's a really nice guy!
[ But he looks down for a bit, shaking his head. ]
I won't blame myself... I mean, there's only so much that I can do on my own, right? The best I can do is wait until then.
[ She's normally a nice person, too, after all. Mostly. But she's got her own anger issues, her own buttons and things that push her over the edge. Losing Minato...not getting to hear his last words...
[ He looks at it quietly, meaning every single word he's said, flipping the pages along as he looks at Yukari, genuinely enamored with it, though it was a simple journal. ]
I... I don't mind telling you if you want to know anything. We're friends, right? ... No more secrets. We can't work together if there are any.
[ ... About him, anyway. Regardless, he had been asked to keep some things from Yukari by Aigis, which although it pained him, he would do. But right now... was about him. Him, and Yukari, and Vriska, and Gamzee, quite possibly, as he was just as involved in the forming of their relationship as Ryoji was in carrying it out and seeing it through. ]
[ Not that it cost her any money or anything. And it's not like she'll check to make ~sure~ he's using it...but still. Writing in a diary is still something that he should experience.
He deserves that much. ]
And we are friends. So I do wanna know how you got hurt so badly...
But not if...you don't feel comfortable talking about it so soon after...
[ He just lost Vriska, after all. Does he want to talk about how he almost lost her that time?
...she can't deny she's curious though. So she...kind of trails off there. ]
... You would have found out eventually anyway. It's... I want you to understand something first. What happened happened, and he's been forgiven for what he did. Or... well, that side of him.
She came back; everyone he killed did. And... Vriska-chan's gone, but only for now. I don't believe she'll not come back again.
i know she meant a lot to you......sorry.
i'm in the lobby downstairs if you want to talk.
[ Well, Yukari doesn't really know what she can do for him, really. But she knows what loss feels like... ]

...Here. Maybe you can write about it, if...if you want.
I told you I'd get you one...right?

... Yukari-chan... this is for me?
[ He smiles quietly, honestly grateful as he looks at the book, it's pages empty. Looks at it, and realizes... that this meant he... could fill it up.
With himself, right? Like--the MP3 player.
It was another... sign, that he had a life and it was his and he was going to make the most of it. ]
