thefoundation | WEEK 3 MINGLE

WEEK 3

Week three opens like the other two weeks, but when you wake up, you know there's been a change in the area. At first, nothing is wrong - but when you look at any window, you aren't greeted with the cheery sight of the outside - instead, there's just a cold, harsh blackness. Trying to leave out the doors is impossible, too - if you try, you just find yourself back on the couches in the lobby. On top of that....The Staff are beginning to act even stranger, their glitching out becoming more obvious. Sometimes, they seemingly go blank mid sentence and walk away, as if they were reset, and slur or stutter their words.

The weather is...well, non-existent, except for the courtyard, which is still pleasantly snowy. There is still music playing in the halls, and the cover songs continue with some low-key music for the week.

On Monday morning, another memory is returned to everyone. Another piece to the puzzle, one step closer to finding the truth of this place. Yet, it doesn't seem like you're any closer to solving this...

And time still ticks onwards, regardless if you're ready or not.

That's fucked up!

[ HI GUESS WHO'S JUST YELLING THIS SLIGHTLY ANGRY ]

'Go home, Mijo.'

The funny thing is...he said it in a really gentle way.

I'd - never heard him be that gentle. Ever.

[hi i've been here the entire time]

...Ichigo...

[Shit's messed up, yo.]

It - also doesn't help he won't listen when I say I can't go back. I'm trapped on this world, unlike everyone else.

...But you'd know that, Shirou.

...Yeah. I know.

[And he still has extremely mixed feelings about that.]

It's alright. This happened in the past, I just - didn't know that's what it meant.

I'm fine. I've had long enough to move on past this, and I don't want to bog down any of you with - all of this.

Still.

[He holds out his arms. Ghost hug?]

[....

Yeah he's fucking going for that hug, burying his face into Shirou's shoulder.

There aren't any tears, but it's clear this is something he's needed for a while.]

[jesus fucking christ]

. . . Ichigo.

...I'm alright.

Like I said - it happened over 6 months ago.

I've gotten over it.

You haven't.

[and that much is obvious]

And you don't have to. Not in six months.

I'm not the important one here. All of the rest of you are, and whatever happened to me doesn't matter in the scale of things.

I'm fine. And my issues don't matter, especially on a night like tonight.

[with slight frustration]

They do matter. You matter! The fact that you're here is enough to make you matter!

Don't say that! Your feelings, they do matter! If you're hurting, then you need to tell us so we can help you!

[ Okay, she's going to steady her voice a little bit, but her brow furrows a little lit, still serious. ]

Doesn't change what I said, Ichigo. It's still fucked up. All of it.

[ ... ]

Do you need a hug?

...It's in the past.

But...yeah. I would.

Just because it's in the past doesn't mean that it doesn't still hurt.

[ She flushes a little bit, embarrassed to do this as she opens her arms out for him, trying to flash a steady smile. ]

C'mere. I can't see you, so you'll have to come to me.

[Yeah, he's just going to practically fall into that hug, arms wrapping around her.]

i'm sorry

[That's all he manages to send, as he just - clings.]

That isn't something that you should apologize for.

[ Inaba does return the favor at least.

Also since she has a good idea of where he is and how tall he is, after a bit, she still keeps close enough to just make the attempt to karate chop him on the head. ]

However, you should instead apologize for not caring enough about yourself and saying that you aren't important.

[ DON'T THINK THAT SHE MISSED WHAT YOU TYPED TO AKIRA, YOU DUMBASS ]

... I'm sorry.

[Honestly...]

I'm sorry we're digging those memories up here.

...it's alright. It's in the past - 6 months alone is a long enough time to get over it all.

I'm fine. It's fine.

... You know it's okay if you aren't, right?

You've had to be strong a long time here on your own, but... you're not alone anymore.

[He smiles a little to himself, a quiet expression, despite the situation.]

You can let us support you too, just like you've been supporting us all this time.

[There's a pause.]

...I'm not alone, yeah.

But - I still have to be strong. I won't let any of you down, and - I don't mind being put on the backburner. Your situation, it's - a lot more complicated and dangerous than mine.

... You're kind.

[Softly.]

And giving, and selfless. I don't believe you'll ever let any of us down.

But I won't stop worrying about you either. And I hope, someday... you feel like you can let us help you in return. Because I know it's not just me who wants nothing more than to be able to do that.
