[Sunburned and sitting with his knees hugged to his chest. He looks like he made it back from the store , but he's not doing so well. He sounds very shaken up for someone that is usually stoic at best.]

Why.....why can't I remember what happened? It was my own damn death! Why can't I remember?!

Joshua couldn't have killed me. He wouldn't have

He said ' Joshua keeps to himself but he's a good kid....and um.....'trust your partner...'

But this is not about Mr. H.

[i_see_death]

[quiet laugh] I didn't say it was.

Do you know how to filter messages? Some people here are in the habit of listening in uninvited, and I'd just as soon they didn't.

[apathetic_tune]

But you brought him up.

[filtered to Joshua]
Fair enough.

[i_see_death]

...He tell you anything else about me?

Re: [Filtered to Joshua]

[apathetic_tune]

How is this relevant to you knowing me?
He's leading me away from the subject. Why?

...I didn't know you, Neku. We ran into each other by chance. Very briefly.

Re: [Filtered to Joshua]

[apathetic_tune]

Then...did you see? What happened, I mean.

[Filtered to Neku]

[i_see_death]

...Sorry, Neku. I was a little busy at the time.

Re: [Filtered to Joshua]

[apathetic_tune]

I see.

[Filtered to Neku]

[i_see_death]

...Do you?

Re: [Filtered to Joshua]

[apathetic_tune]

What do you think? I can just barely remember.

Re: [Filtered to Neku]

...

[another sigh]

...Fine. When I say 'a little busy', Neku -- there was a Reaper trying to kill me at the time. I wasn't paying a lot of attention to anyone else, I'm afraid.

For whatever it's worth, though, you were fine when I left. I did stop to check.

['Fine' and 'still breathing' not necessarily being synonymous, in Joshua's vocabulary.]

Re: [Filtered to Joshua]

[apathetic_tune]

.....but what happened to me?

[Filtered to Neku]

[i_see_death]

Not a lot, Neku. Not while I was there. You got caught in between us, and as I recall you had the good sense to fall over and stay out of the way when the Reaper started shooting at me. I shot back, hit him in the arm, and he took off. I stuck around for long enough to see if you'd been hit, and then... [shrug] ...I left. As I said, I had a few other things on my mind at the time.
