Who: Aoko, Aella
When: Day 37, night
Where: Coming out of nature
What: Dehiatussss

[They've been MIA since Day 36 evening, but now! NOW!! They're dragging each other sllllowly back into Apartmentsville, covered in blood and cuts and bruises. Exhaustion, too, sure is a Thing. And hunger. And dehydration…

Basically, they look awful.

... But there's something to be said for 'YAY THE FINISH LINE IS IN SIGHT!!1' relief.]

A-Aella, look! We made it!

Th'hell m' I s'posed to look, Pyxie?! I'm blind!

Sorry..!

Good.

[might. actually be starting to look a liiiittle sick.]

Can I get you anything . . .?

[ I'm sorry my nursemaid growing up was Gilgamesh. ]

[it's okay i'm just thinking about that one time i died in my boyfriend's arms.]

[swallows hard and shakes her head]

[ i. idk what to do.

GETS . . . UP . . . is there anything to clean in here does your apartment need cleaning i can do that ]

[well there is now a bloody trail from the door to the couch. YOU COULD CLEAN THAT]

... R-Rin-san, what-?

. . .

I'm really not very good at caring for other people. . . but I can at least help out in some other ways.

[ I WILL CLEAN THAT. ]

... You're... Y-You're not as bad as you think.

The people I live with don't really need taking care of, so I'm out of practice, I guess!

[ yesss cccllleeaannnninnnggg ]

... I want to be like you.

. . . eh!?

You're cool and strong, and smart, and really pretty, and you can take care of yourself and put idiots in their place, and you can be really nice, too, even if you don't want to admit it.

[ ahburhwu?

open mouth

close mouth

I . . what . . . ]

-- In . . . some of those. I'm not going to argue --! I think well of myself! I know I'm strong and cool -- but . . .

. . . shouldn't it just be that you want to be the best you can be? Standing in my shoes isn't something I'd wish on anyone.

... I'm not saying I want to be another Rin-san. Aoko is Aoko. But you're... a good inspiration. That's all I'm saying.

There are some good things about me, but also . . . sometimes I think about how I got to where I am. It's not admirable at all.

[shoooould i ask...]

Nobody's perfect.

It was just surprising to hear.

Hmmm...

I haven't really tried to be that kind of role model person anyway.

You don't have to try to be anything.

[ . . . oh goshhh all the laughing ]

I guess not! Now that we're dead!

[wait what '-']

...

[ whoops ]

Ah, that looks better.

[ CLEANED UP YOUR FLOOR. ]
