We broke a bunch of terminals to beat Death at its own game, but I don't know if that counts. It was more a prison break.

[damp]

Like the real Death? Or was that a simulation too?

[doublefists]

No idea, never met the actual embodiment. It was just an empty hotel.

[damp]

...? Then how do you know Death was after you?

[doublefists]

That was the vibe? I guess we escaped it the first time by dodging an explosion and it wanted our asses real bad after.

[damp]

I guess it's a good thing that was a simulation. I don't know if Death is something that would just... give up.

[ this is perhaps why she is so jittery, in the new week, ]

Considering I'm here? Maybe it didn't.

[damp]

[ oh no why did he say that ]

... Well! If the ruler of hell can be trapped here like the rest of us! Even death has limitations!

[ HELP he's doing his best. ]

Yeah, that's true. [ she huffs. nudges his foot with her own. ] You don't have to reassure me, come on. I'm fine. Just not really afraid of dying.

[damp]

Isn't it healthy to have a fear of dying?

[ he's saying it rhetorically, nudging her foot back with his ]

[doublefists]

Probably. It's fine if you have it. You should, you're Nanase's friend, right? You two shouldn't be in a place like this.

You were talking to Haru? [ interested ] What do you think of him?

[doublefists]

He's a weirdo.

[ this is SO affectionate, it's not affection week yet in this thread but it is. ]

I like him. He offered an alliance after I told him I could swim. [ a beat. ] You guys close?

[damp]

[ Laughs. ]

Yeah, that sounds like Haru. [ Also affectionate. ] I guess you could say that. We've been rivals since elementary school. I wouldn't be who I am today if it wasn't for him.

[doublefists]

Aww. That sounds like friends to me.

[ teasing... ]
