Re: Day 52

[goldencharms]

[ he turns onto his stomach and looks at her ]

You don’t have to wake up, especially if you’re tired… are you feeling okay?

Re: Day 52

[aididitmyway]

I gotta, Megumi expects us.

... I'm not sick, though. If that's what you mean.

Re: Day 52

[goldencharms]

Eh? But you’re just… tired?

You seem like you’re sleeping okay…

Re: Day 52

[aididitmyway]

You know how sometimes I just... go back to bed and stay there all day?

Re: Day 52

[goldencharms]

Yeah...?

Re: Day 52

[aididitmyway]

That's what I feel like today.

Re: Day 52

[goldencharms]

Oh... Why?

Re: Day 52

[aididitmyway]

Yesterday was pretty bad, wasn't it?

Re: Day 52

[goldencharms]

Well... Yeah...

[ he blinks and pushes himself up, then turns. ]

So, it's because you're sad...?

Re: Day 52

[aididitmyway]

It's way more than just sad.

Tired. Frustrated. Sad. A little hopeless sometimes...

Re: Day 52

[goldencharms]

Do you feel hopeless now…?

Re: Day 52

[aididitmyway]

Kinda.

It just feels like we're always gonna be stuck here.

Re: Day 52

[goldencharms]

... Yeah, I guess it does... I still don't know anything about how we can go home but... It's not all bad.

Re: Day 52

[aididitmyway]

I know there aren't bad things.

It just... gets overwhelming sometimes.

Re: Day 52

[goldencharms]

Especially after a bad game...?

[ said softly, just trying to understand ]

Re: Day 52

[aididitmyway]

Yeah.

Especially after a bad game. Especially after one where something happens to us.

Re: Day 52

[goldencharms]

Oh...

[ he reaches out to stroke her hair ]

That makes a lot of sense... A lot happened and... well, dying's awful...

Re: Day 52

[aididitmyway]

I tried so hard to save you.

Re: Day 52

[goldencharms]

Huh? Save me?

Re: Day 52

[aididitmyway]

From the zombie? I didn't want you to die.

Re: Day 52

[goldencharms]

Right.

[ a pause, and then a sort of, uncertain? laugh ]

Ahahaha...

And I thought I was trying to save you...!

Re: Day 52

[aididitmyway]

... I guess we were trying to save each other, then.

I'm sorry I couldn't.

Re: Day 52

[goldencharms]

It's okay. You were doing your best, right...? It's hard enough to look after yourself in a game like that...

Re: Day 52

[aididitmyway]

I just! Hate that we can try so hard and still get totally ruined, and still die, and still have to deal with punishments if we lose and—

... I'm glad we don't have to this time. But...

[she starts to curl into a ball.]

Re: Day 52

[goldencharms]

Yeah...

[ he inhales, and puts an arm around her ]

That isn't fair. I wish no one had to deal with it. Even now, I feel guilty...

Mmm, or maybe guilty isn't the right word.
