[The video only shows a pair of kunai being held within a set of calloused hands. The fingers and thumbs trace over the blades carefully, respectfully...and eventually what turns into a noticeable pattern. An invisible pattern. A missing pattern.

Giovanni moves the camera and it sets down to show a whole lot of nothing.]...You'd think a person

A dead man?

[notfunnyraph]

.... [Well there's only one thing anyone can say to that.] Shell.

[betrayedblade]

Hmmn. Yes.

[betrayedblade]

It would be easier knowing they were going back to something... Something good.

Some of us don't have anything at all.

[betrayedblade]

Not for certain. Never for certain...

[techoutmystaff]

[Woah wait a second back up.]

Minato-san was-- You're--

[He stops. Then, quietly.]

I'm sorry. I didn't know.

[betrayedblade]

[He waves it off dismissively.]

[techoutmystaff]

[And Don doesn't know how to react other than that. Giovanni's an adult. He doesn't need to be asked if he's okay. But he notices something else.]

He gave you kunai, too?

[betrayedblade]

He did. He gave them to anyone ...important to him. He wanted to be able to be there for them. I suppose, in a way, he still is...

[dontcallmegol]

You too eh?

It's interesting how many of us are out there.

[betrayedblade]

...oh?

It isn't right.

[dontcallmegol]

Mn, I suppose. Those who were meant to have peace had it stolen from them.

On one hand I can't ever go home, on the other, I was given a second chance. I get to see my friends and family if they are brought here, but I also get to see them suffer this place too.

Peace can be sought out later, if there is the chance.

you're a ghost?
really!?!?

[betrayedblade]

More or less.

[windything]

can you spray like ectoplasm around?

[betrayedblade]

...no.
