*Retasu is still reeling. She hasn't been talking much since she saw everything. You can find her in the temple, heavily guarded just in case, sulking in her Felt dress and hugging herself.*

...um, hello.

(This is an open RL! Anyone who wants to come yell at Retasu or just talk to her is welcome. Threadhopping very encouraged.)

...so everything is back to the way it was before, only maybe a little worse.

[createswithink]

...Better, I'd say. [ a nod ] Because you're back with us.

[aquaticrush]

But...

[createswithink]

[ but what. he's not going to counter her protest until she makes one. ]

[aquaticrush]

I couldn't protect anyone, Issun-san. Not Issei-san or anybody else. And they hurt themselves just to save me. I didn't even make up for ruining everything.

[createswithink]

If you found out that Doc Scratch isn't good enough to be trusted, I think you protected your entire world.

[aquaticrush]

...

[createswithink]

...

[aquaticrush]

I'm still sorry for everything, Issun-san.

[createswithink]

Oi, you didn't do anything to me. And it's not any trouble to talk to you here. [ and my god, he's just glad and relieved that worlds weren't destroyed by that 'game' or whatever the HS kids were talking about ] ...Kefka might want an apology. Something like 'you told me so'.

[aquaticrush]

I know. He's already yelled at me.

[createswithink]

[ oh. If that's taken care of... He suppose he should ask about- ] And Issei?

[aquaticrush]

He doesn't hate me.

[createswithink]

Of course he wouldn't.

[aquaticrush]

He said that, too, but he had every reason to.

[createswithink]

Maybe irritated out of worry- you know how he is- but I don't think he'd be mad.

[aquaticrush]

I-I guess not.

[createswithink]

Can I get a more certain answer? [ show some courage! ]

[aquaticrush]

He wasn't, but I was really afraid that he would be.

[createswithink]

There you go.

[aquaticrush]

...If it weren't for me, he might never have put himself through that.

[createswithink]

Mistakes happen. Doesn't mean they'll be held against you.

[aquaticrush]

I'm scared.

[createswithink]

Ah? Why're you scared?

[aquaticrush]

I-it's okay. I'll be fine.
