no subject
(if she wants to hear more reasoning, she'll have to tell him regarding which - he's done a lot of shit.)
And I hurt people because I was cursed. I'm sure Takemitchy might have told you something about that. He told Scott. Didn't tell me.
no subject
[She'd gathered that much, back then. She hadn't liked it, but she hadn't been able to stop him, either. Everyone has to walk their own path. She might not like it, but who is she to tell others not to do what they think is right when she herself never knows what the right thing is?
She'd also have thought that Mikey knew he was cursed, but maybe not. That's not nearly as important as-]
Are you still cursed?
no subject
(he was so reluctant to even ask for help. all these years, all these timelines, withering because he hadn't the nerve of appearing weak and ask for help. takemichi has been his hero through it. he cries, and bawls, and sobs, and yet, he delivers. somehow.
he's strong, even when weak. he wins even when he loses. it's insane.)
For me, I haven't seen you in a good 10 years or something, Kototan.
no subject
Then you gotta talk to them, [she decides as if it's as simple as all that.] Yu and Scott and everybody else you hurt. Even if it's been a long time for you, it hasn't been that long here.
no subject
(it's not just fists that open a wound, after all. actions hurt just the same.)
no subject
[And, genuinely, it is. Sure, he'd hurt her, but he'd come back and apologized. That's all she could ever really ask for from a friend -- to work on what he'd done wrong and to try to be better.]
I'm just glad you're working it out. That's the most important thing to me, you know? That you still care enough to try.
no subject
(the fact he left was only due to him caring. everything was because he did care - but he acted on it all wrong. it doesn't matter, it's done, he's learned.)
Your man might be mad at me for a while, though, just a little heads-up.
no subject
[There's an undercurrent of clear affection in her voice at the admittance, though; Scott wears his heart on his sleeve and feels just about everything so intensely. Of course he'd be angry at Mikey for longer than Kotone herself.
Even for her, it's still hard to reconcile the Mikey before her with the Mikey she'd known and the Mikey who'd hurt both Yu and Scott, but... he wasn't himself. It's not fair to hold that against someone. It's that kind of resignation that colors her smile as she shrugs again.]
Neither you nor me can tell him how to feel! He'll just need time to work it out.
[Is "he" really just Scott, or also Yu? Don't worry about it, because it's true all the same.]
no subject
(god knows he might not deserve it. the curse didn't help, it was inescapable, painful, shattering his mind in ways he couldn't describe easily - but the true issue lies on how he dealt with it. he chose to hurt rather than to explain, to leave rather than to listen. that was his mistake.)
That's really all I wanted to say. Get me hammered so I can go to my nap room?
(aka the storage.......)
