this will never fall into place; (Monday, August 9th, locked to Haruhi)

[and Kiyoshi is sitting at the kitchen table, absently petting Kitten, who is purring in his lap, and sipping tea, dinner mostly untouched in front of him. Also there is a box of sleeping pills on the table, too.]

[Dammit, Kiyoshi.]

...You really shouldn't take those on an empty stomach.

[seestooclearly]

I did eat a little, and I ate breakfast before...

[direplans]

Breakfast doesn't count for this. You need to eat more than a couple bites. [8|]

[seestooclearly]

I'll try, though I'm not really hungry...[and going to eat a little more....and feed Kitten some scraps, too.]

[direplans]

...The cat has her own food, Kiyoshi, and hungry or not, you barely eat at all, which is not healthy.

[seestooclearly]

...I know. [and looking away] I just haven't felt like eating at all since...[trailing off. going to stare off into space for a moment. Haruhi should get what he's referring to, though.] I'm sorry.

[farewelltopain]

...You can't...keep allowing him to have so much hold over you, Kiyoshi.

[seestooclearly]

...I know. I'm trying...[it's obvious today is not one of his good days, crumbling apart at the seams. And he's going to push his plate away after a moment.]

[farewelltopain]

[...Sigh. He can't really push it much further.]

[seestooclearly]

I'm sorry, Haruhi... [he's drinking his tea, at least?]

[farewelltopain]

You don't have to apologize to me.

[seestooclearly]

I'm always causing trouble for you, though...

[farewelltopain]

I find trouble well enough on my own. You're not so much that it warrants apologizing.

[seestooclearly]

I'm still sorry, though...[and going to stare blankly past Haruhi for a moment, before pulling himself together] ...I should take these and go to bed, I think...[and going to reach for the box]

[farewelltopain]

Alright. [...Is that the Jaws theme?]

[seestooclearly]

[and takes a couple of pills] Goodnight, Haruhi. [and going to get up and go to take a shower before bed while waiting for the medicine to kick in. and there's the water running.]
