[YAMS IS ALSO HERE still in his fuckin bloody torn CYOA clothes!!! HIS BANDAGES ARE PROBABLY FALLING OFF BUT WHO CARES ABOUT THAT they must be here to comfort their sad in-law...
Kashuu's already hugging him, but Yasusada reaches out to squeeze his shoulder, looking solemn.]
...Buzen will take care of her. [Softly. It's not the best approach, probably, but Yasusada can't think of anything else that might be even remotely comforting.] We'll figure it out, Itsuki.
Itsuki doesn't say anything for a long moment, even with Kashuu's arms around him and Yasusada's hand on his shoulder. Warm, they're so warm. The warmth seeps into him, bit by bit, and he presses his eyes closed at both the mention of Buzen and the kindness they're offering. He wants so badly to break down. He thinks he's on the verge of it, but he knows if he starts now, then he won't be able to share this information.]
[KASHUU ISN'T DIRTY EXCUSE YOU except he probably is now, thanks. It's fine. Anyway they sure are trying to just provide comfort to sweet Itsuki but now Kashuu's just feeling a little sense of concern building up in the back of his chest. He glances toward Yasusada, then looks back at Itsuki.]
[PRETEND ITSUKI SAID WEDNESDAY NIGHT i continue not being able to read]
...Foresight. It was supposed to give me a premonition about a case. Nothing happened after I chewed it, but Thursday night... I had a dream.
[he makes a little sound in his throat that's almost like a laugh. imagine i had itsuki reveal he was the moiderah in this pc to both of his sword in-laws, so funny]
I was somewhere really cold, trying to speak to someone, but then they started changing into some kind of monster? [he sounds really uncertain because it was Something to behold,] Then I woke up. Now that I think about it... I was hoping it might have to do with Mete-chan, but...
[yaywon are u good im in tears... also imagine meteion was the refracted killer and crow just self-defense'd her about it.
ANYWAY. He had been like a tiny bit concerned about the POSSIBILITIES OF WHAT ITSUKI MIGHT HAVE BEEN ABOUT TO SAY, so. This is honestly not as bad as it could have been, even if his shoulders slump a little.]
...It's better than starting nowhere, at least. --"But"?
[METEION AS THE KILLER AND CROW JUST HIT HER WITH THE UNO REVERSE oh my god that would be hysterical]
A monster...? [That could mean so many things, especially this week, when people are gaining and losing all kinds of limbs and extremities--but "transform" seems like a different thing, and Itsuki probably needs anything at all to cling to right now, so Yasusada doesn't voice his thoughts. He just lets Itsuki continue.]
[it was a battle royale where meteion took garou out first and then crow took her out, i can believe that
...he nods at both of these things. it's week 5, he knows how this all goes by now. they find crumbs, so they can maybe find actual things tomorrow.]
...Yeah.
[he's all grave-dirty but he's still going to take a moment to just -- duck down a little so he can fold both of these ye olde swords into his arms. hug!!! if he hugs them, then he won't cry!!! no, he's probably going to cry, but he's so tired of crying.
Anyway Kashuu's just going to return the hug, because of course he will!! Even if Itsuki's going to cry sooner or later anyway, at least he can cry on his sword in-laws about it. He'll hold Itsuki back, gently rubbing a hand across his back. Yasusada can have a half-hug, too, they're just gonna be one big ol' ball of hugs.]
You, too. I'm really glad you're still here.
[Itsuki and Yasusada both. ...It always feels like such a selfish thing, when people die and their losses also hit. But he can't help feeling grateful every time he wakes up and the ones closes to him are still safe and sound.]
[HELP HIS INJURIES... I guess yams is just getting blood on them now that's fine. He doesn't mind the pain--he hugs both of them back, taking in a slow breath.]
Mm. Me too.
[Every week that he wakes up and finds both of them still alive is another week that he thinks, no matter how hard it gets here, he can keep holding on a little longer. Every death that wasn't prevented weighs on him, but in such an unpredictable place, he will take the small comforts he can get.]
Itsuki could really stand here and hug those he's come to treasure forever, but at some point he will notice the blood.]
Ah, Yasu-kun... [his tone is already apologetic, and he's moving gently away so that he can stop INFECTING yams' WOUNDS with GRAVE DIRT,] Your bandages are falling off.
[stop that makes me soft even tho we're all bleeding out here....
he will worry, but then again... yasu and kashuu are very reliable about using the pods (?) compared to some people like itsuki who had to handwave being there,
he'll nod as if to say 'alright', his expression is still pale, but there's more light in his eyes than before. one step at a time, he can follow kashuu and yasusada's example]
...I'll be okay too. [emotionally, he means. he probably will be maybe] And I'll be ready for tomorrow.
[he will not bc it's gonna be something really fcked up but it's okay]
[WHO'S BLEEDING OUT HERE LITERALLY ONLY YAMS IS BLEEDING.
But good, they don't need Itsuki snapping and sending them all into forever dream comas. He'll reach up to tug at some of the hair framing his face, very gently.]
One step at a time, right?
[Like he's reading the brackets... But no that's just a good phrase to fall back on when things get rough, especially when you have a whole cute song about it.]

He returns Kashuu's look, but doesn't say anything; he just keeps his hand where it is, comforting.]

I'd show you a picture, but my power keeps glitching.
[HE'D DRAW IT BUT LIKE HE'S TOO DEPRESSED,]
...It probably has something to do with Crow, right? Since they found him on the mountain.
[where else would it be cold? THE FRIDGE OF THE GROCERY STORE?]
no subject
You can show us later, don't push yourself.
[Sweet Itsuki's already doing a lot... He'll reach up to gently pet his hair in an attempt at a soothing gesture, sighing.]
--But yeah, probably. We don't know how the other two were involved in that, though, or what happened to Crow in the first place.
no subject
[What do they. EVEN DO WITH A LIVE PERSON. Why are there three people involved this time??? Things are getting so confusing, help.]
We don't know how the cemetery is involved, either. There's probably other places we're missing too... we'll find out more tomorrow.

[WHY ARE THEY FALLING OFF IN THE FIRST PLACEEE]
no subject
Kashuu also hates it here THIS STUPID POTATO. He sighs, reaching out with his free hand to ruffle Yasusada's hair.]
I'll fix 'em up later.
[This is non-negotiable.]
no subject
But he ducks his head, stepping back. He reaches for Itsuki's hand and squeezes it one more time before he lets it go.]
Don't worry about me. I'll use the pods after the trial, or the day after.
[Once everyone has had time to regrow their limbs and fix up their holes, except for Garou, who is dead.]
