fifth inning ∴ fourth at bat

[notawimp]

[riding his bike around town, he's got a pretty sullen face on]

I got a bad feeling. I hope I'm just thinking crazy.

[feel free to do what you please with him, L5ers~]

[she jumps out in front of his bike and grabs the handlebars, stopping him in his tracks]

Have you seen him? If you're hiding him from me, I'll kill you.

1/2

[notawimp]

Aah!

[notawimp]

O-Oh it's only you, I-Pin. You scared me there. Who are you looking for?

[i_pinnedyou]

Lambo. He's dead. Broken. In pieces.

1/2

[notawimp]

.... wh-what?

[notawimp]

... so it's happened already this year.

[i_pinnedyou]

...you knew?

[notawimp]

No I didn't! It's just that this happened already last year..

[i_pinnedyou]

...how?

[notawimp]

The curse. It's killed people last year.

[i_pinnedyou]

[she grabs onto the front of his shirt]

...I could've stopped Lambo from coming here? I could've saved him...

[notawimp]

[winces at her clutch but places his hand on hers, shaking his head]

You can't do anything about it now, I-Pin.

[i_pinnedyou]

Am I supposed to just move on? Forget about him? He was mine and I could've prevented this and I didn't.

[she yanks him off the bike and onto the ground, kneeling next to him and still gripping the collar of his shirt]

[notawimp]

Tch--

[grunts as he lands, but he rises to try to talk some sense into her]

Nothing you do now can bring him back! You have to snap out of it! He wouldn't want to see you like this!

[i_pinnedyou]

It doesn't matter! HE'S DEAD. Nothing matters. Everyone is going to die.

[notawimp]

That's not true! You have to think positive.
