Sorry. It's over now though, Chihiro. [ She reaches over and puts a hand on his shoulder. ] Leon might look dead right now, but he'll be fine in a little bit. It's just how this works. No one can die here because we're all already dead.

[ She's guessing breaking a window and running off wasn't one of the options. ]

[superhacker]

Even so... seeing him like this...

[ He sobs in his hands. It was traumatizing the first time, it doesn't make it less bad right now either. ]

[tenminutes]

I guess it is kind of gross, he's bleeding all over his carrots.

[superhacker]

... The... The blood in general... i-it was worse the first time, b-but...

[ Instead of balls, now we have carrots. Such a suggestive sight... ]

[tenminutes]

Just pretend it's cherry juice. Leon drank a whole bunch of cherry juice, then passed out on his cup because he drank too much and now he's sleeping it off.

[superhacker]

[ But he can't picture Leon drink all that stuff... uuu... he gulps. ]

W-will it really work..?

[tenminutes]

Of course it will. [ Yuri looks around, then picks up a chopstick that isn't hers and breaks it on the side of the table so that it's sharp, then scratches across her hand with it so that it's bleeding. Not deeply or anything, but enough that Chihiro can definitely see that it's hurt. ]

Give this a minute and it'll be all gone. It's a smaller injury so it'll go a lot faster than Leon's, but the principle holds for both situations.

[superhacker]

[ ...

YURI NO WHAT ARE YOU DOING STAHP he's going to faint here... except he won't- but he's looking at the wound, even more terrified and upset. ]

It's... g-going to heal by itself?

[tenminutes]

Of course it is. [ And after about a minute, sure enough, there's just the bit of blood that came out when she did it, which she wipes on a napkin, then shows him. ] All gone, doesn't even hurt anymore.

[superhacker]

... That's... I can't believe it...

[ This must be magic. It can't be anything else. Magic in the afterlife, who would have thought? ]

I-it means... I could get hurt and heal too? [ Don't give her ideas Chihiro PLEASE. ]

[tenminutes]

You could get pulverized and turned into Chihiro soup and you'd be okay later.

[superhacker]

[ ... He didn't need that mental image. ]

... [ Just have his shocked face as a reply ok ]

[tenminutes]

Not that that's likely to happen, either way. [ Doesn't even look bothered. ]

[superhacker]

It's... not? S-so I shouldn't worry...?

[ Well, at least it's not butter. ]

[tenminutes]

Don't worry about it all. I told you, didn't I? The only thing you really have to worry about is disappearing, which won't happen as long as you fight against it in your own way.

[superhacker]

[ He's pretty sure safe from that, considering that he's still got many more issues than anyone would think. The fact he's still dressing as a girl is enough to ensure his stay here.

But he knows nothing about Kuwata-kun... he would feel pretty much lost if the only person he knew back in his world was gone! ]

Kuwata-kun won't disappear then, right?

[tenminutes]

No, no way.

[ Yuri sounds surprisingly confident about that. Plus-- ]

Especially not in a situation like this. Negative things would definitely be a way to keep here. Also, he's kind of an idiot so I'd be more worried about him disappearing when he's not in lights-out mode than when he is.

[superhacker]

[ ... Kuwata-kun must not have the brightest reputation in here, does he? Being called an idiot and such... but he's still cool and strong in Chihiro's eyes, that won't change! Besides, Leon promised he would protect Chihiro as well! That's a good thing, right? Right...

Thinking about this while Leon's corpse is sitting there is... uh... yeah, he better stop. ]

I see... I think I'll stay here until he wakes up, then...

[tenminutes]

[ One day, Chihiro, you'll learn that's just what Yuri calls people she likes.. ]

You're not going to play?

[superhacker]

I'm not... really in the mood for it.

[ Izumo will push him to play it later, but yea. ]

[tenminutes]

Well I can't make you, but it'll make some of the clues more realistic so it works for me.

[superhacker]

[ ... Yeah, like "Mr.Black had an affair with the maid." SO REALISTIC. ]

I'm very sorry...

[tenminutes]

It's fine. I should be saying "I'm sorry for your loss." [ Ah, she even had a straight-face for that. ]

[superhacker]

Uuu... he'll be back anyway.

[ He takes it seriously, but that's not a real loss... just, this is too similar to the nightmare he had to live back home, with people dying and investigations plus trials and executions... he wants none of it anymore. ]
