[For better or for worse, Yasusada's also going to use present tense. He's not idealistic, exactly--it's just the strength of his denial. But his lips press together at her words, unhappy.]

Me too. [Out of all of their dead, she's probably the one he was closest to. He'd hoped, for her sake, that she'd had an honorable death.

He's quiet for a minute, staring at the flower. Then, he looks tentatively at Flayn.]

Flayn-kun? Can I ask what team you're on? [Though he lifts his good hand, adding--] It's okay, if you can't tell me. I just wondered if it was the same as Kocho-kun's.

[Ah.

Flayn freezes, and she looks up at his face for a moment or two - and then, slowly, she looks away.]

I am sorry... I cannot say. [A beat -] It is not that I do not want to tell you, but... I have admitted to a few things already, this week, and I do not wish to toe the line.

[okitactless]

Ah, it's alright. [He waves his hand, shaking his head as well.] Don't hurt yourself because of me. [That would be bad, actually.]

[fishingforcompliments]

...I dislike keeping secrets, but I suppose it is better to be safe rather than sorry.

[ :( ]

[okitactless]

It's okay, really. [Really! His energy is too frazzled to be eager, like it usually is, but he looks sincere.]

How about, instead... can you tell me about her? Something nice you did together, maybe?

[flayn starts to answer him. but it's memshare week, so!




instead of hearing about it, he can just see it.]

[okitactless]

[Another Flayn memory! IT'S HIS LUCKY DAY.

No, but really--the memory is enough to take his attention off of how upsetting the execution had been, at least for the moment. When it ends, he smiles at her.]

Oh, I see. You were together before.

[That makes sense. But if Shinobu is kind and encouraging with everyone, then perhaps it's no surprise that they were close.]

[fishingforcompliments]

[Can't wait for Sunday when everyone gets to watch the final island execution and see Shinobu claim she was the one who poisoned Flayn.]

Yes. She was... she is very kind.

[And she's still out there, somewhere. The dead can communicate with them, still.]

[okitactless]

[SHINOBU IS STILL VALID OKAY what's a little poisoning between friends (no).]

We'll have to keep working hard, for her.

[fishingforcompliments]

[Flayn nods.]

Yes. We must. [...] ...it does not feel real, yet. I keep expecting to come across her in the camp.

[okitactless]

At the castle, when we died, we were taken to a place that looked the same, but everything was mirrored. Maybe her spirit is walking around backwards, but we just can't see her?

[He's. Helping.]

[fishingforcompliments]

...on the island, we were able to interact with the living as ghosts. We simply could not speak.

So... perhaps. That would not be so strange.

[She doesn't know why Shinobu would be walking backwards though.]
