week 7

[airlockedmods]

[For the first time in several weeks there is no new memorial in the garden. No new body in the morgue, no bloody mess for the roombas to clean. Choromatsu is still in need of time to heal and constant vigilance but he's alive. They're all alive for once on a Sunday and, even with the terrible realizations their returning memories may bring, there's a sense of hope for the first time in a long time.

There is no new floor this week.

Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday

Then why don't we go back and save all of Heart's friends first, too. We all came through time and space, let's just fix everything in everyones universes and then we'll just all go home to less fucked up worlds.

[misanthropicprinciple]

...You know, I'm game.

[What has happened to Junpei 'fuck your action heroes' Tenmyouji over the last six weeks? God.]

[motherfucking_ghost]

That's not even how time travel wo-- [wait, it sort of is where Junpei's from]

Okay, correction, we don't know how time travel works in this dimension, and if we do manage to change things, wouldn't that...really really fuck things up?

[misanthropicprinciple]

Not really? Branching timelines.

[motherfucking_ghost]

You mean you don't run into copies of yourself? For real?

[misanthropicprinciple]

What? No. That'd be weird.

[motherfucking_ghost]

But that's what happens if you go back and try to fuck with the same period of time over and over and over and over and over and--and fucking over again!

Where I'm from.

[misanthropicprinciple]

Uh--well I don't usually take my body with me, so maybe that's the difference? I kind of jump into the Junpei that's already there.

[motherfucking_ghost]

Well isn't that fucking convenient. We don't know if that happens here.

[serrata]

... Time.

[ Look.

Look at Yuuri's face. ]

We could-- we could save someone we'd already... someone we couldn't save before.

[ Please.

Please, please, please. ]

Is that what you're saying?

[misanthropicprinciple]

...I've... done it, yes. It's not that simple, but... it's possible.

[serrata]

... Then... Then I could...

[ She doesn't even have to say the name out loud -- it's already whispering behind every single word that comes out of her mouth. Ruu-chan. ]

I--if we could get back to her then... somehow, maybe...

[misanthropicprinciple]

...Yuuri, I promise you. If I can do it--no matter what it takes--I will.

[serrata]

[ She doesn't say anything. Without really thinking, she lifts a hand to the pocket of her blouse and brushes her fingers over the pink bookmark just barely visible in there.

Maybe one day, you'll be able to forgive me for what I did. But until then--

She swallows hard to chase down the lump in her throat and then nods, blinking fiercely as if to chase away tears. ]

... I... thank you.

[Church is actually managing to keep in an outburst, but he definitely looks like he's about to. burst that is.]
