You know, like when you punch a pillow while pretending it's someone you don't like.

[or one of those little stress balls that itsuki doesn't know exists because i keep forgetting he's from fcking 1919]

[ She takes the jacket and throws it at him. It's nothing like flinging bombs but it's something. ]

Clarte was hoping that our relationship was consensual. Please explain what they might mean.

[that's itsuki's face right before the jacket hits him squarely,]

[nightchild]

[oh boy....................






he tugs the jacket off, and shakes his hair a little]

Um. So. Do you remember when we went on the tunnel of love together?

[classmate]

[ ??? ]

Yes? The kappas were shouting at us and I had... panicked.

[nightchild]

So you remember the part where you jumped into my arms?

[this is really important marie]

[classmate]

Yes, because immediately after I got sick.

[nightchild]

[he's just like. mentally closing his eyes,]

...There's something that happened before that. Right after you jumped in my arms, I hugged you. And when I hugged you -- your expression, tone, and your voice changed. It felt like you were a completely different person. Whoever you were, that person was angry and hated me.

Then you kissed me, [he can't hide the kiss from her when it's clearly a trigger for her/??] and you threw up right after.

Kagami-san --

[ ???? WHAT THE FUCK ]

You should have pushed me off!

[classmate]

[ SHE DOESN'T WANT TO KNOW THEY KISSED AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH ]

[classmate]

But, um...

[ Not her always throwing up. God. ]

I'm going to assume that was "Wicked", the person I was in the past. I had spoken to Steel-san about my concern about her possibly effecting me due to those memories returning.

[nightchild]

[she's so cute when she's embarrassed.... perhaps all this trauma today was worth it, including the discovery that the girl who made out with him and dommed him was indeed, Marie's Past Self.

at that he sits up straight, clearly interested.]

What did Steel-san say?

[classmate]

[ Is he like oh it's Marie technically so my crush is still going strong. ]

They said that they'll try to help but...

I honestly don't know what we could do.

[nightchild]

...What makes her not take over? Your memories?

[classmate]

I’m beginning to think it’s related to how people treat me.

[ A slight pause. ]

With kindness, I can feel it — like suddenly I’m going to be sick. And there was a time that Damien had asked about my body in the real world, if someone was taking care of it.

I do know for a fact that she does hate affection, so…

[nightchild]

[...]

Well, we both know that everyone here won't just leave you alone, or treat you badly.

[he remembers the 3 glasses of water, and more importantly, he remembers the number of people who thanked him for what he did, as if traumatizing Marie was a good thing,]

Regardless of what happened today.

[classmate]

[ Traumatizing her and still people are like maritsuki for endgame ]

… I just… hope that I don’t hurt anyone.

And I hope that I can stop being an inconvenience for you, as well.

[nightchild]

[it's spicy!!!]

Hey, you promised me remember?

[THE PROMISE ITSUKI DIDN'T MENTION]

We made a deal, so I'm doing my part to keep it. I do want to think of something that won't make you sick though.

[classmate]

[ OKAY YEAH WHAT THE FUCK?? ]

I promised, but you didn’t really explain what that promise was…

[nightchild]

[he winks at her]

It's a promise to respect each other's decisions!

[he thinks he's sooo slick,]

[classmate]

And your decision was… ?

[nightchild]

[shaking that marie hasn't killed him yet

some of his 'kawink' vibes fade a little though, as he looks back at her]

To hang out with you and talk to you, and be there if you need me.

[classmate]

...

[ Okay she kind of suspected that. ]

I do think of you as a friend, Kagami-san, but...

[ She doesn't even want to finish the thought. ]

[nightchild]

[...]

Then let me help you, okay? You can help me out too. [will this make it worse for her?

he doesn't want to make it worse for her. he doesn't want her to be sad, even though it's not up to him -- even though it's so much more than just this. His usual move would be get up and hold her hand, but he keeps his back on the chair.]

Do you think Wicked will talk to me if she shows up again?

[classmate]

Of course. I care about you, and I don't want this relationship to be focused on just helping me. If there's something that you're going though then I'd hope that you'd come to me.

[ Which may seem hypocritical -- wanting to keep him away but also keep him close, enough that he'd be able to rely on her. It's that piece of her that's fearful of the possibility of death and wanting to desperately hold onto the idea that maybe, just maybe, she and her friends can find a way to keep her alive. ]

... You want to speak to her?
