5th Memory [Accidental Voice]

[whats_a_sneeze]

[Sayo was going to return to work; she'd been feeling better after speaking to so many people and getting the chance to settle that twist in the pit of her stomach. But when she opens the door to leave, looming in-human figures are standing there for her. She drops her journal and runs, leaving cloudy audio-]

What do you want with me?! No!! L-let me

[His voice draws up tight when he hears, body too frozen by shock to move when he demands it. Only time gives him his bearings back, but of course there'll be no one to save if he leaves the kitchen. There's just the settling, gray silence and the raw knowledge he wouldn't have been able to do anything.

After a fleeting moment, he sets the food aside where it won't overcook and leaves anyway.

The door's knocked down when he gets there (jeez, a little tact, shitheads. She was a defenseless woman), but Sanji's expression only pulls into a wince when he sees the loom.

... He'll start putting whatever he can back into place, mechanically. Maybe Usopp can do something for it...]

[Ginko is further away, but with his journal open. So he hears the disruption.
......

It's funny. Rationally, he knows that everyone is an equal candidate for kidnapping. But the first thought that flashes into his mind at the familiar voice protesting is ...no, they wouldn't.

Yes, they would.

And he goes to her house anyway, out of some odd compulsion. He tenses at the sound of someone else, and relaxes again when he sees who it is. He doesn't say anything, just looks around the room in careful silence.]

[Seeing as he half-expected the mushishi to make his own visit, Sanji doesn't turn around. He just keeps moving until the bare amount of Sayo's belongs are where they should be. The quiet spreads, heavy from implications.

Once he's back on his feet, shoulders slouched like they're carrying brand new weights:]

Might have Usopp drop by and look at her loom. [His voice is a blank mumble] Fix it before she gets back.

[a grunt. He'd been thinking the same.

But he doesn't say anything-- silence stretched tight over a strong emotion.]

[ooh_kamina]

[ Kamina, busy as ever not paying attention, only notices this when it's far, far too late to do anything about it.

Just like last time.

Just like how it was with Anise.

Just like--but thinking about that doesn't help anything, does it? He thinks about going to her place to try and fix up some of that mess, but he doesn't even know where she lives, does he?

...he'll ask. Once she gets back. ]
