They'd probably just laugh. Obnoxiously.

[ but, hey. he's all ears. ]

Yeah?

As long as I could punch them in the mouth as they did so, I don't give a shit.

[BREATHE, AKIRA. . . BREATHE]

Shinobu killed Yu.

You might have to queue up for that one.

[ ..... ]

Yeah. I heard.

[. . . hah. lightly amused]

Lili?

And Kara, they both know. [ ... ] Apparently, so does Dimitri.

You think someone wanted revenge?

[a huffed laugh, his eye slipping shut as he tilts his head back]

I told Lili last night. Her word spreads like wildfire. . . I'm not surprised.

[he lifts a hand, raking it through his hair]

. . . I don't know. Maybe. The only one left here who might have been close enough to seek revenge was Majima.

We only know the who, not the why, yeah?

[ ... ] Not really enough to formally accuse him of anything.

Right. I already wrote a letter to Guy about it, though. I hope he can ask her and write back to us next week.

[HOPEFULLY IT WON'T. BE CENSORED]

Not nearly enough. And who knows? It might not have been a revenge killing at all.

[maybe she was just unlucky]

[ haha it will be ]

No closer to finding out whether or not there is an executor system in play either then, are we?

... If her getting killed now really is a coincidence, then her luck is terrible.

No.

[which is. frustrating?? super frustrating]

When Nie-san wouldn't give me answers, I had hoped that I could find Yu's killer and ask them. [. . .] But I suppose I should have accounted for them being possibly dead.

He kept his mouth shut until the end?

[ like. man he feels bad for beau but he would punch NHS if he could no joke. ] Good for him. [ he does not sound serious. ] Hope he chokes on that spite wherever he ends up.

[. . . ha ha]

[on the other hand, Akira just sounds tired]

If he told someone, then it wasn't me. And I'm not about to beat down Beau's door to ask her.

Yeah. This... isn't the time to be asking Beau anything. [ ... ]

We can't really leave her alone either. Grief's a bitch, and she's already lashed out because of it.

Mmm. Don't worry; I don't plan on letting her deal with this alone.

[he is, in fact, going to go see her shortly after finishing up here]

. . . I don't mean to sound callous, but she can't use this as an excuse to give up.

It's not callous. She's already been trying to burn bridges since yesterday. Some people are hurt enough themselves that they'll let it stick.

[ tough love for beau. ]

[. . . tch]

Anger is a double-edged sword.

You can use it to fuel you into moving forward, or it can come back to bite you in the ass.

[ me, gesturing at All Of Ash: ]

I know.

[relaxing a bit, because. . . yeah]

I know you know.

[that's one reason they vibe!!]

... She can get past it. She just needs a kick up the ass and to challenge that anger in the right direction.

Not just... lashing out.

. . . I'll let you know how my talk goes with her. Okay?

[since it seems like Ash is just as worried as he is]

In the meantime, we have something else to talk about other than Shinobu.

Okay. I'll... give her a bit longer and then I'll go see her. Don't wanna overwhelm her.

[ beau's horrible no good week. ]

...

Something to do with surprise packages at your cabin?

[that's enough depressing talk for now time to MOVE ONTO SOMETHING HAPPIER]

Mmmmmaybe.

[he pulls a tomagotchi out of his pocket]

[it's pink and cute]

[ ash ...

...

i don't really know how to say this? it's a fucking sky dancer. ]

Who comes up with this crap?

[. . . . . . . A SKY DANCER???]

Pinkie, probably.

What's yours do?

[ Y U P ]

... [ he pulls a face ]

It's a heat seeking projectile that causes an small explosion on impact.
