78 [Video] Forwarded to the dawn.
[When she had seen the image, she had thought it wasn't real. Why would she believe it? The very nature of this event was to see people die -- it was just a hallucination. A horrific, horrid, terrible hallucination, but a hallucination all the same. Still, Rei had a feeling in the very bottom of her heart that something was not right -- so she set

[She might say something comforting. But she doesn't know how to comfort Rei anymore, and the person Rei turned to is gone.
She isn't sure how that feels. But after a moment, her face firms up.]
I'll be with you.
[And she's heading that way right now.]

Right now, with Rei, Usagi comes into view, slows down, and sits right down beside her. If she sits a bit closer than strictly necessary, like she can't quite let Rei go in any tiny way right now, maybe she can't be blamed for that.]

He's never not been here before.

Where are you?

[She is home.]

He steps quietly into the temple and looks around for Rei. His cursed eye flares into activation and he steps quietly forward, following the trail where ever it leads.]

Whoever humiliated him like this will suffer for it.
[It isn't a question of how or why. They just will.]

Not that there's much you can do about either, regardless.

[Still that calm and quiet tone, but there's a definite note of hardness in it now. Conviction. Anger.]
If you have anything useful to add about who was behind it, then speak. If you don't, go celebrate elsewhere.

He doesn't know what to do; he's not good at this. But she's always helped him when he's lost someone, and he should return the favor; it isn't even that he logically knows he should, but that he feels he should. So he goes to find her on the steps, sitting down next to her and not speaking.]

Finally, she speaks, her voice low and soft, and numb. As if she's realized something, but her heart hasn't quite caught up to it.]
If he doesn't wake up, or come back, or remember who I am, I'm going to lose it.

There is no reason to believe he won't. Worry about it should it occur, not before.
[It's delivered in his usual tactless way, but he means it encouragingly. He doesn't want Rei to destroy herself stressing about something that might not happen.]

-- she was being stupid. But she can't help it.]
I don't even know why we get along.
[It's said suddenly, as she tightens the coat a little more. There's only another pause before Rei starts talking. It's fast, and she's really just talking just to talk, but the more she talks, the thicker her words get, until by the end of it, she's trying not to cry.]
He's an idiot and stubborn and reckless and takes himself way too seriously and it's his way or no way at all and he's a jerk and we spend most of our time yelling at each other and he needs to get punched in the face on a good day and he can't take a joke and half of the time he just lectures me on stupid things that I ( ... )

[It's. an eerie sort of calm in his voice. Misplaced. Like he's literally about to lose his hold on something he's desperately clinging to, but at the same time isn't willing to hold on any longer.
He's Madara's nephew for a damn good reason.]

[Rei would normally condone his involvement. Or explain that violence is not the answer. But this is so beyond the spectrum of pacifistic dealings that Rei can't find the strength to care.]
