I'm feelin' a lot better now. Sorry if I worried anyone, 'specially my roommates. Malik, I saw your last entry. I'm sorry he didn't tell you what was goin' on. I guess we never did get to go an' make snacks in the kitchen, did we? We still can, if you want. I promise this ain't gonna happen again, the whole... uhh, almost dying thing.

I-I'm sorry. I wanted to help but I was...I was coward. I'm sorry Aligoté.

[soulinflight]

Nah, it's all right. You feelin' any better?

[keeperofra]

N-no, it's not alright! I called you my friend, but I couldn't do anything to save you. What kind of friend is that Aligoté? I should have done something but I...I

You could have died.

[soulinflight]

Malik... ain't I the one who gets to decide who my friends are? He liked you, an' I like you, an' I don't blame you for somethin' no one could have helped with.

[keeperofra]

He?

But what if you died. It...it would have been my falut.

[soulinflight]

He... Kir. It's kind of hard to explain. I've... changed.

No, it wouldn't have been! You're always so quick to blame yourself. An' in any case, I didn't die although he did so what's the sense in worryin' about it?

[keeperofra]

Kir? I don't understand.

Because it's my fault most times.

[soulinflight]

*sigh* It's really hard to explain. But... the person who you met, he was Kir. An' I'm Aligoté. We're mostly the same, but it's a different soul.

Sheesh. It is not. Blamin' yourself for stuff doesn't make you at fault.

[keeperofra]

A different soul? How can you have a different soul? I'm so lost...

I...I'm still sorry.

[soulinflight]

'Cause Kir's soul was dyin', that's why I almost did. An' Jing an' the others asked Yuuko to make a human soul for me, so she did. But you can't have two souls so... his is gone now. So I have Kir's memories an' I still look the same, but I'm not really.

Man... someone aughta knock some sense into whoever messed your head up. You're forgiven, then. How's that?

[keeperofra]

Gone? Does that mean...he died?

I...okay. I, I just...

*walks into Aligoté's room and (shocking!) hugs him*

I'm jut glad you're alive.

[soulinflight]

Yeah. That's a good a word for it as any.

*in!shock*

Malik...?

[keeperofra]

*still hugging Aligoté*

I-I'm sorry Kir had to died, but I'm glad you're still here Aligoté. I really thought you were going to died. I-I don't want anyone to die.

[soulinflight]

*returns the hug*

For what it's worth, I'm glad I'm here too? I'm sorry for worryin' you. I think he should have told people what was goin' on, but at the same time, I know why he didn't 'cause of the memories I've got. It's weird, seein' both sides like this.

An' if those memories serve, I'm still owin' you guys some snacks, right?

[keeperofra]

It's okay, I forgive you. As long as your alive, that's what matters. Just please don't do that again.

*pulls away, teary eye but smiling*

Y-you do and I promise this time I won't lock myself in my room.

[soulinflight]

I won't. Unlike Kir, I ain't got a reason to die. If anything... I got one to live.

*looks exasperated but gruffly fond* Sheesh. You cry like a girl.
