Afterparty the Fifth

[canreallymove]

[Yeah, he knows, he probably messed up by challenging Kakuya. At least everyone will know if they find a hedgehog-shaped splatter on the ground, or...him disappearing suspiciously into a mirror or water or something.





Anyways, in the meantime he's cooking, so if you guys want something, he'll make it for you. Except for Hunter, mainly because he's going to make that Not Evidence Chili Dog first. SO. Otherwise, you're all good for food. Sonic's got you.]

Yasu... When you say that Kakuya cares for us, do you think that means the same thing it would mean if we cared for Kakuya?

[keyringwitness]

Of course it doesn't. I know that.

But it's still something. And if it wasn't for her caring in her own odd way, we wouldn't be here right now, one way or another.

Everyone has the right to hate her, but... acting like she's just some evil thing and not a person...

It... it hurts me, too.

[ ...sighs ]

You're right. I don't hate her, because I know she doesn't understand that from our perspectives, what she's doing is wrong. Still...

[ ... ]

Have you asked her to do the same thing? For us?

[keyringwitness]

...I'm going to do my best. I need to try and figure out how to get her to understand, but... I'm not sure that's possible anymore, with how she sounded at the end there.

Still. I need to give it my best shot.

Alright, Yasu-chan~ Do your best!

[ There is a definite hollowness to Kuro's cheer, though. ]

A one-sided understanding won't get us anywhere. Until Kakuya understands the same thing— That we're people, not objects... This is just a matter of self-preservation.

[keyringwitness]

...no hard feelings between us, no matter what happens. Promise?

[While Yasu is certainly capable of holding a grudge, at the very least she doesn't want to lose the girl who's probably her closest friend after all this. Not to mention her partner in crime-busting.]

Hm~m, let me think about that—

Nope!

[ But, her answer comes with a grin. She tosses her hair as she winks. ]

I'll tell you again and again. No matter what, Yasu, I won't condemn you. But, more important than that— I'm a really, really sore loser!
