[raikou314]

You couldn't know, [ Raikou says softly. His tears have dried up but his breathing is still a bit elaborate. Gau on the other hand seems shaky and from the way his frame trembles Raikou can tell that he's crying. A reason enough to squeeze him again. ]

It was a man? [ Whoever they are, if Raikou ever finds out, he's going to kill them. No questions asked. ]

[temperm]

...Yes, it was a man. He was taller than you, and heavier, with long white hair and facial hair. He-

[Gau swallows hard because the crushing pressure to his throat comes back, and for a moment it's hard to push those shaky breaths out, but he had to, had to for Raikou's sake.]

He hit me over the head, and before I knew it... He was holding me down. I remember seeing his face over me. His hands were around my neck and over my mouth and I don't remember-

[Another sharp breath cuts him off, but underlying his shaking words is an strong current of determination.

Anything for Raikou, and for justice to come to this.]

[raikou314]

[ Raikou isn't privy to Gau's thoughts, never has been, and never will be. He doesn't understand the devotion the boy has for him. Not even now. He could never assume that this was for his benefit. To him, it's just Gau recollecting the hurtful situation that will make Raikou's eyes well up again.

There's anger somewhere there, beneath all this, but for now, he's more focused on Gau, on Gau alive than the person who did this to him. Give him a day and it'll change.

His fingers brush through raven hair, calming and continuous motion that seems to be a half automated. But while he speaks, mouth against Gau's brow, he lays a few gentle kisses on the boy's forehead. ] It's over now. You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to.

action

[girlmemo]

[ Yozora got a job as a scarer! So on his way home, Gau will notice a a girl in a black dress and veil in the distance. She has her head down and her hands at her sides. He probably doesn't think too much of her, right?

But what if she follows him on the entire trip back? ]

[serials]

hello?

action

[temperm]

[He does indeed notice her, but if there's anything that Holly Heights has taught him, it's the need to respect other's lifestyle choices when they've come from a world that may be completely culturally different than his own!

So what if her lifestyle choice is... dressing up in a black dress and shuffling around like a particularly tired zombie, Gau can't really judge! He must carry on with his business of walking home without casting judgement on her!

But then she's standing not 200 feet away from the gate to his house, and that. That may be worth some concern.]

Er...

[He'll stare at her at first, one hand on the gate and the other reaching into his pocket for the keys, like a sort of perturbed gazelle would at a lion some distance away.]

[temperm]

...No, Raikou-san, I have to talk about it.

[It was just as much an affirmation to Raikou as it was to himself. Gau worked better when he had a plan, and now that he had sorted his thoughts out enough in Raikou's safety to come to a conclusion, he would work around this Plan. Just having it made his voice grow stronger.

He felt the kisses, reassuring and kind kisses, against his forehead, but he almost brushed them off as he looked up into Raikou's eyes rather than his shoulders, his growing determination clear in his own gaze.]

If I want justice for me, or for the other victims, I must give as much evidence as I can to help bring that man to punishment for his crimes!

[temperm]

Yes? Fukawa-san? Is that you??

[serials]

yeah.
I heard people came back, so
I thought I'd check...

[temperm]

Yes, I'm alive! Is everything alright?!

[serials]

IT'S FINE I just wanted to make sure you were really alive!!!!

[temperm]

...

Thank you for your concern, Fukawa-san.

[serials]

[It takes her a long time to respond.]

I'm sorry.
I don't know if it was me or not but I'm sorry.

[temperm]

You don't have to be sorry, Fukawa-san, at least towards me. I can't speak for the other victims, but you didn't murder me.

[serials]

oh
Who did??

[temperm]

A man named Snow Villiers.

[serials]

I don't think I know who that is...
have you told the police??

Re: action

[badbreak]

I --

[the boy's whole expression suddenly clamps up; that single eye snaps to Gau, and then away again (something nervous, something hunted)]

[a sudden casualty is feigned (and a sudden impatience, which comes much more naturally to that quickfire mouth)]

-- No. That'd be stupid. Forget it, alright? Don't you gotta get up early to ace good boy school?

[his hand scratches a bit roughly at the lump of bandages across his nose (but all that mussed red hair conceals whatever's spooked him as much as it conceals whatever's on his face, beneath it)]

Re: [Offline]

[badbreak]

Don't call me that.

[his head feels like it's wrapped in cotton, because it's sinking in, that this isn't a conversation with himself, that Gau is breathingbleeding against him, and his pulse is rapid and, for now (always just for now, that was for damn sure) unended]

Eight -- nine.

[nine, including you goes unsaid]

[Badou's not soft, nor sturdy; he's not the type of person that you'd lay on for warmth, or lean on for support, all slapped together hurriedly with cold angles and unabashed bird-bones]

[but if Meguro -- if Gau just needs a body to hold onto, a body that isn't hurting him, he can be that, at least (but only messily, unevenly; the blood from Gau's broken nose will stain both their clothes as testament to that)]

Weda, Barnaby, Balfour, Aoi, Japan, Tsugumi, Yozora, an' Tessa.

[the list is rattled off thoughtlessly, because he hasn't thought much about the other victims (there isn't enough room in his heart or lungs for empathy, all poked through with holes of loss as they are)]

[he doesn't let it go; he'll gladly sink his teeth in hard to anything that squirms]

I mean it. If you tell me -- since when do you ever shut up, anyway...

[(except that time you were dead, a few hours ago)]

[Badou trails off, hot fever at his throat like phantom hands are at Gau's]
