[well. a little while later after the verdict's been declared, sora wanders back to the emporium. this is becoming routine to him, so when he enters the fake-y jail, he comes in with what looks like a bowl of soup and a sandwich? okay. he'll set them down near the barrier before he has a seat on the floor to look at shima from the other side.]
The Leaders should be able to pass that to you when I leave if you're hungry.
Sure. Everybody's gotta eat, right? [he leans back on his hands, giving shima a thoughtful look. i have no idea if they can emotion-share through a barrier, i dont think so, but he at least looks pretty calm and not upset about what happened.]
I wanted to ask you a couple of questions. Some about what happened, and some about you. Which ones do you want to hear first?
Edited (NOW IM DOING IT FUCK ) 2020-10-18 02:21 (UTC)
Been the case for a while now, I just wanted to make sure. [hm.] I was wondering if you could tell me what you were told. You don't have to tell me your leader, but I just want to make sure the story matches what I've heard so far.
[ since i just corrected this with yona because I SUCK AT REMEMBERING ON MY OWN ]
It's simple, really! My team leader asked me to kill Laine-san because his nova got corrupted! It would've been a shame if that affected everyone here, wouldn't it?
Splintering, right? And if we let it go unchecked, it would spread to the rest of us and the Realm? That's what I heard about Cater's case. Hajime, too.
But how's the nova getting corrupted? Did they say?
It could be. If our nova gets messed up enough. That's how it happens, sometimes. You have to take the bad things out before it messes with the entire group.
Yeah...believe me, I know. [stares tiredly at kingdom hearts. but he seems to be more attentive now, pondering over this. there are many questions he has, but now that shima's brought this up he tilts his head.]
Is it someone here, or someone you remember from home? [they. all. watched izumo slap him. but he's asking to be polite.]
[a beat.] You wanted to make sure she wouldn't be harmed in case the splintering really did infect the rest of us. So you said yes without really asking the details. Is that it?
It was one of the first things I figured out and I think it was more like an accident. [izumo and sora sure had a Week at first.] Could explain why she never said anything about you though.
The group I spy for, they wanted to use her for their own needs. It wouldn't have been pretty, if things had worked out in their favor. Although for me, that happened months ago and she's already been saved. And things... sorta went back to how they were.
She needs people to keep helping her, and who won't stop because they care. And she needs to learn to accept that help.
[ok a.) ofc you and naru picked different canonpoints and b.) wtf is anoe about.]
So that's the whole double agent thing? Or...whatever? [help.] Sorry, that's kind of over my head but I think I get what you're saying. If she didn't know things were alright...no wonder she was freaked out.
[and it's not his place to tell him, so he can only hope that shima maybe said something.]
You've met Izumo, right? Getting her to even admit something's wrong is almost just as hard as solving a trial with no evidence. [...but he sighs.] Not that I'm planning on giving up, but it's still true.
[ a) it's not naru if she doesn't shoot herself in the foot with shipping i mean-- b) and aono is about satan fucking and what happens when he does ]
I tried to tell her the first day! Ah, but of course she thought I was lying about everything. After all, she just found out I was lying to everyone to begin with.
[ he TRIED and then she hit him three times ]
I think you'll get there. You sort of remind me of someone from home. [ it's the protag gene i swear ]
Did you try after that? [also why does everybody say that about him, he's too protag apparently, this has happened at least 3 times this game.] As long as you think it'll work, then yeah, I'll keep trying.
Okay. Sharon went out to kill somebody to try and get her memories back, more or less, and she was killed in self-defense. Cater was a kill ordered like you were asked to kill Laine.

There was someone specific I wanted to keep safe.
