WEEK 8

[lockdownmods]

[When you wake up, there's a text message in all of your inboxes, warning about how stressful exams week can be. The email comes replete with names of study sessions, tutoring hours, and free pizza on other parts of the campus. And it encourages you to check online for the exam schedule based on your class and section number.

There's also a note that there will be weekly stress puppy pop ups to help you relax? So that's nice and thoughtful! But ultimately, at Fayflower, they just want to make sure everyone has what they need to do well on their exams.

What a nice email.

But things have obviously deteriorated around you, with the wall looking visibly... damaged? If you get close, it's extremely easy to lose track of yourself... and you might come away with a few bruises you didn't know you got. Who knows. Maybe Terra?

Happy final week.]

Cos I told her about your feelings for her?

I'm sorry about that, by the way. I didn't think we we're gonna talk to any of you ever again so I thought that it'd be fair to let her know but now I think I probably shouldn't have said anything.

[ososoi]

[ oh yeah that reminds him ]

>:(
>:(
>:(

YA THINK?!?!?

I DIDNT WANT HER TO FIND OUT ABOUT MY CRUSH ON HER FROM HER FUCKING KILLER

[12d3]

:(

I thought it'd be nice. I'm sorry.

Plus I think we're friends now so I felt like I had to tell her something important like that.

[ososoi]

what

how can YOU be friends with HER

you killed her

you stabbed her over 20 times

what makes you think youre both friends now?

[12d3]

Because we've been getting along really well?

I had tea with her just the other day.

[ososoi]

[ There's a pause. ]

...seriously??

[ On the one hand, this guy killed Maya, but on the other hand, 2-D doesn't seem like the type of guy who would lie about something like this. ]

[12d3]

Yeah. You can ask her yourself if you don't trust me. I don't mind. But it's the truth.

I've been trying to make it up to her in little ways for what I'd done. And to everyone else. And I'm sorry I haven't talked to you sooner I just haven't been too sure about what to say.

[ososoi]

[ There's a longer pause. ]

if she comes around again i will ask her

but dont think i will forgive you yet

-_-

[12d3]

You don't have to. And she hasn't, either. For the record.

I don't think anyone has. But that's okay. I'm not looking for people to forgive me. I just want to try and be better, that's all.

[ososoi]

[ There's another long pause. ]

dont expect forgiveness for a while stu-arse

also

did maya-chan at least give you shit for killing her

aside from the fact that she hasnt forgiven you?

[12d3]

Stu-arse? :(

[well thats new]

And well. Not really, I guess? We did have a talk about it but she didn't punch me or slap me or anything like that.

But Maya is a very sweet girl. She's been very kind to me and everyone else despite what's been happening.

[ososoi]

stu-arse has a better ring to it than stu-ass

[ ... ]

not really surprised that maya-chans been that sweet

then again thats one of the reasons why i started falling for her huh?

[12d3]

[Well now it's time for there to be a pause on 2-D's end. How is he supposed to reply to that... as the guy who took someone Osomatsu cared about so much away from him? Anything that comes to mind just feels a little...]

That's one of the reasons why I fell for Rebecca, too.

But that's not a bad thing. Whether relationships work out or not, love is the strongest power out there. Yeah? And we're still alive even after we've died. Even if we're AIs we're still real. Everything we feel is real. And everything you tell us is real.

I know it's not much coming from me, but I don't want you to give up on love because of what happened. Okay? And I don't want you to give up on anything else either. Cos you're all strong, brave people and I know you're gonna make it out of here together.


It's going to be okay in the end, Osomatsu. And if it's not okay then it's not the end.

[ososoi]

[ ... ]

[ Osomatsu's hand reaches to grab the magatama around his neck. ]

i

i havent given up yet

dont worry

[ Yeah... love's strong, huh? And not just romantic love. All kinds of love. Including platonic and familial. ]

...

im still pissed at you though

[12d3]

[Love is extremely strong. Love for people you've dated in the past, love for people you've fallen for now. Love for your best friend, your family, people you could call family... 2-D could honestly call most of the people here family after all the things they've been through together, and that feeling alone keeps him going strong. Even if more people die. He knows they'll figure something out.. he believes in them so much.]

I know.
