For those of you who weren't forwarded the memo; Yaha's dead. Been that way for five days now.

[Shinji speaks as if he's discussing a chance of afternoon showers. Calm, nonchalant, perhaps a hint of annoyance but nothing more.] And it looks like I can't really trust his word after all. Or maybe I just can't trust this place.

He- what?

[lucycoded]

He died. He's dead. D. E. A. D. Dead.

[quackery]

Why? What happened?

[lucycoded]

What happened? He killed himself. [In the most bland of tones. Even if that's not technically true.] Why? I guess we'll never know.

[quackery]

I... A-Are you sure? That can't be true!

[lucycoded]

I was there. [And an exhale of smoke.]

Did you try to stop him?

[lucycoded]

It wasn't my place to stop him, now was it. It's his life.

[quackery]

But...

[lucycoded]

But?

[quackery]

I mean... What if he was just really upset and would have regretted it later?

[A small twist in his smile.] Once he has his mind set on something, he doesn't back down. That's what I liked about him.

[quackery]

But he might have if you... If you had tried to stop him.

[Eyes flicker up to her, obviously not completely sane.] If one of your best friends was in constant pain and isolation, would you just let them live that way?

video;

[quackery]

N-No, I'd find a way to help them.

[lucycoded]

I was helping him. [He leans softly on his hand.]
