nobody's in the mood for recording 6.9: the post-trial garden tea "party"

[tsunderine]

The flowers that bloomed at the end of the trial are ones that only seem to prove, continuously, that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Of course, it's only natural that many of the people are full of mixed emotions - grief? sadness? anger? frustration? maybe something else completely different?

But it's there, along with the end of the week.

Miasma still continues to be around, of course - but make use of the fact that this might be the last time it'll be at a low level one before it shoots up again.


Well.

Life continues as usual, disregarding any feelings that any of the house's occupants might be feeling.

So what are you doing these next two days?

...you can hurt yourself a lot without touching your body, Ango-san.

[notbymyside]

...I could say more about that, but it isn't my place to talk about Dazai-kun's mental state. But if you are concerned, talking with him about it might help.

[accessorytomurder]

...yeah. We, um. We were... going to talk about a lot of things, after the trial. ....that was the plan before the trial, anyways...

[notbymyside]

Even if the conversation is different now, a talk wouldn't be a bad thing.

[And since this thread is after WWX tattled on himself and Dazai:]

...you should take measures to protect your heart, though.

[accessorytomurder]

—?!

[She stiffens in his arms.]

...u-um...

[notbymyside]

[Ango actually chuckles before letting go of Yachi and pulling away.]

You seem attached to him, so I thought it fair to give you a warning there.

[accessorytomurder]

I-It... might b-be a little... late... for that.

[notbymyside]

...

[S I G H]

Then I ask that you please save any vengeance against him for after we escape this place.

[accessorytomurder]

I-I wouldn't do that!

[She waves her hands, alarmed.]

He's... he hasn't done anything... wrong...

[notbymyside]

...you're too kind, Yachi.

[It's mystifying to him, how she can still be like this through it all.]

[accessorytomurder]

I-I don't know about that. But, um... thank you.

[notbymyside]

[He just. Pats her on the shoulder.]

If you ever need anything, you can come talk to me, alright? I'll try my best to help.

[accessorytomurder]

Don't worry. I, um... I already promised him I'd tattle to you, if he hurt me.

[notbymyside]

Good. Because he is an idiot and hurts people sometimes, so he needs to be tattled on.

[accessorytomurder]

I... I think hurting me would hurt him plenty, too.

[notbymyside]

[Heeeeee doubts that but he's not going to say that, so.]

Even so, he can hurt people unintentionally. Even himself.

[accessorytomurder]

I know that.

[She sure does know that.]

I'll be careful, Ango-san. I promise.

[notbymyside]

Please do. I've known Dazai-kun for a very long time, and I'm familiar with how he is.
