Y-yeah, me too.

[ he sighs. he wasn't terribly close to her, but still. ]

I should've invited her to stay with me last night. Even if it... wouldn't have stopped what happened, I... just wish I'd been a better friend to her. She'd really been through a lot.

[outsidebones]

...I can't imagine you were a poor friend to her. You are a strongly loyal person.

[unbested]

Thanks, but... I don't know.

I really wanted to be there for her once Kazunari was gone, but I... could never really get the image of her from the end of the execution out of my head. I didn't reach out to her as much as I should have after that... because I was just kind of uncomfortable, I guess.

[outsidebones]

Oh. I always thought she was strange and offputting, either very spineless or very unpleasant with little unbetween. [she just says this about a dead girl so casually.]

[unbested]

She— people treated her really, really terribly, ever since she was a little kid.

[ he's going to be polite and not spill the details of her memories here, at least, but oof. ]

I think that's why she was like that.

[outsidebones]

...I suppose I can see that.

[she does sound like she means that genuinely.]

[unbested]

Yeah. So... I hope she at least wasn't alone last night.

[ ... ]

I mean, besides... um... obviously...

[outsidebones]

I doubt she was. She was usually smart enough to make plans with someone.

[unbested]

Yeah... that's true...

[ he will definitely keep hoping that was the case this week too.

sigh. ]

I hate that we couldn't even see the scene long enough to be able to get any ideas about what happened. W-when I did this before, we could at least see what kind of position the victim was in and what the state of the room was, so even if we couldn't investigate until the next day, we could at least think about stuff a little...
