[ the second that the verdict snaps him out of the stunned state that scien's breakdown threw him into, kazuki escapes the the conference room. but he's not far, rather - off to the side of a hall, somewhere out of the way. he's clearly trying to gather himself, but this whole thing has left him shaken to the core, drowning in confusion, anger, and frustration - and a little bit of fear, if you know what to look for.

[ oof. well. ]

...You can probably get one near the entrance. They can't require masks if they're not going to give you a way to get one.

[ probably... kazuki's going to start heading for it, but - the void catches them first, encapsulating them both in a memory (19:00 - 23:36):
another month, another attack. classes are closed, students released to go home to safety, to their parents. but what good would that do? and why would you leave akito to head home on his own when he's already so on edge?

so you walk together. talk music, as you always do. let your feet take you where they will, no real destination in mind, only looking for whatever will get your minds off of the news looming over the city like a shroud. anything will do, and you're even having a good time, until...

"Ugh," you mutter with a flash of annoyance. "Why is she here?"

your older sister, ichika. akito is already exasperated - he knows that the two of you don't get along, and still he insists on going over to say hello without even giving you a chance to argue. she's just as surprised to see the two of you here, and you're irritated to hear her start nagging you without hesitation. it's late, she says, as if you care. there was another murder, she says, as if you were too blind or too stupid to pick that up when it's all over the news. you glare back at her.

"They closed school today because of the murder. There's nothing to do at home."

what does she expect you to do, stay cooped up all night? it won't do any good. but ichika insists on scolding you like a rebellious child, until akito finally interrupts. she's always been more inclined to listen to him, but never you.

"We're sorry, Ichika," he tells her with that apologetic little smile of his. it's sincere, of course; akito has always been the more patient one between the two of you, and maybe this time, he thinks that he bears some responsibility. "Kazuki was just worried about me."

you don't owe her an explanation. still, you find yourself muttering, "He's been feeling down lately, so I went to hang out with him. It sounds like... it's tough at home for him."

not that it's any of her business. and even then, even then, she insists that you should stay home, even if it's just the two of you at the apartment you and ichika share. you can't help but roll your eyes, temper flaring.

"Ugh, you're annoying. Who cares whether or not we're at home if we don't know when we could die?" you spit venomously. ichika looks like she's been slapped, and that only adds fuel to the fire. how can she call herself a cop and still be so clueless? "Is there any place that we'll be totally safe? Can you guarantee I won't be just killed at home? Even the people at school who act like they're excited about the murders when they happen are actually scared to death inside. ...They're all worried that they'll be next."

and you, of course, are no different. adonis has already proven they don't care who dies, that they'll target anyone, at any time, for any level of crime. you're not delusional enough to think yourself exempt, no matter how brave a face you put on for appearance's sake. so you continue speaking, hurling your words at ichika like rocks, like it's her fault for not understanding. but she never did try, did she? no one ever does.

"Adonis calls their murders righteous judgment, and says that only bad guys will be targeted, but that's not reassuring at all. There isn't anyone alive that hasn't committed some kind of wrongdoing."

neither you, nor ichika, nor akito are free of that. if adonis wants to judge you, any of you, you will die just as easily and miserably as the rest of their victims. you'll become just another number in the countdown, or another so-called "evildoer" or whatever those psychos will call you to justify their actions. it won't matter, in the end.

"Even if they've been trapped in this town, it doesn't mean that we're free from them... I can't stand being chained up any more. They said something's going down in January. When that hits, it'll be the end of Shinjuku. Everything here might all be gone someday. Just let me go enjoy the time I have left."

your sister stares at you in disbelief, until finally, she speaks, pleading with you. "Look... I'm not telling you to stay home... just be careful."

superficial concern. she's never cared before - why should she start now? you don't want to give ichika the satisfaction of feeling right, so instead of acknowledging her, you turn back to akito, noting the ashen pallor of his face with a wave of concern. you mutter an apology to him before leading him away, pointedly changing the conversation back to something more palatable as you turn away from the route home.

just one month until x-day. if you don't live to see what comes after, the least you can do is live as freely as possible until then.
as it fades, kazuki simply utters a curse under his breath. ]

Okay, but there have to be sane people in the rest of the world, right?
teenrebellion: (🎶 9.)

[personal profile] teenrebellion 2024-03-25 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
I dunno. It sounds counterproductive to curse a moon to kill everyone when you also live there.

[ there's a faint shudder as bradley describes the briars and what happened there, but otherwise not much of a reaction from kazuki. ]

Sounds like it. [ ... ] Why did they attack...?

Ice cream is ice cream. What's so different about it?
teenrebellion: (🎶 34.)

[personal profile] teenrebellion 2024-03-27 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
INTERLUDE
That just sounds like shaved snow, and also kind of unsanitary?
Real ice cream is... well, it's cream, with flavorings and stuff mixed in or put on top. Like vanilla or chocolate, and fudge drizzle.
teenrebellion: pixiv id 4825799 (🎶 111)

They're called ice cream bars.

Is there anything I can do to help? I know I'm not... Nero-san, but still.

I couldn't be him even if I wanted to.

You didn't answer.
teenrebellion: (🎶 9.)

[personal profile] teenrebellion 2024-03-30 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
And yet you've holed yourself up in here. [ ... ] I don't blame you, though. If it were me, I'd probably do the same thing.
teenrebellion: pixiv id 4825799 (🎶 104)

[personal profile] teenrebellion 2024-03-30 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
Even though you don't know who's responsible yet?

[personal profile] teenrebellion 2024-03-30 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
I get that. I've got a temper, too. But I don't see why anyone would do that.
teenrebellion: (🎶 1.)

[personal profile] teenrebellion 2024-03-30 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
...He's been nothing but nice to me. A little pessimistic, maybe, but I'm a little used to that, anyway.
teenrebellion: pixiv id 4825799 (🎶 104)

That long...? How do you even remember? You guys are hundreds of years old.
teenrebellion: (🎶 26.)

[personal profile] teenrebellion 2024-03-30 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
...No offense, but it sounds kind of miserable. Even if you remember the good things, it sounds like too much.

[ the idea of outliving your family and friends is a little terrifying, kazuki thinks. and now he's lost nero, too? ]
teenrebellion: pixiv id 4825799 (🎶 92)

You said he made the first move?

[personal profile] teenrebellion 2024-03-31 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
It was the same thing as the others? The anger?
teenrebellion: (🎶 119)

[personal profile] teenrebellion 2024-03-31 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ damn it. kazuki's head bows, eyes squeezed shut, hands curling into fists at his sides. his voice his small. ]

...We fucked up. [ voting for anyone is terrible. voting for someone who acted in self-defense is even worse. ] I- I'm sorry, Bain-san.
teenrebellion: (🎶 3.)

[personal profile] teenrebellion 2024-03-31 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
We don't even know how to help her. If there isn't a way, then- then she could be in the same position again next week.

I don't want either of you to die, but... someone shouldn't die for protecting themselves.
teenrebellion: (🎶 26.)

[personal profile] teenrebellion 2024-03-31 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
You mean Jingu-san...? That was self-defense, too.
teenrebellion: (🎶 19.)

[personal profile] teenrebellion 2024-03-31 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ nods slowly. ]

Yeah. I don't think anyone knows what to expect for Rosamund-san now.

[ and he is. very obviously worried about that and just upset about everything! wow! ]
teenrebellion: pixiv id 3009715 (🎶 58)

[personal profile] teenrebellion 2024-03-31 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ there's frustration in his eyes as he looks back at bradley. ]

We're not finding them fast enough. Even if that research log was right and there is a way to bring back the dead, we don't know what the method is, or if it even really works. Until we figure it out, more people are just going to die and that's - that's not okay.
teenrebellion: (🎶 25.)

[personal profile] teenrebellion 2024-03-31 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
[ in a flash of anger, kazuki raises his voice to yell. ]

It's not enough! I don't want to be one of the only ones going home! I'm tired of being one of the only ones who's kept safe while everyone else throws themselves into danger or dies!

[ he quiets, for just a moment, and then: ]

Everyone here deserves to make it home. Every last one of us - whatever that means we have to do.
teenrebellion: (🎶 3.)

[personal profile] teenrebellion 2024-03-31 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
[ no, don't look at him like that - like he's something to be proud of instead of the helpless kid that he really is. he can't stand that, when it feels like there's not a single thing he can do to make anything here any better. ]

We don't have time to let more people die. I don't know how much longer it'll take, or if it's even possible to fix all this.

[ his expression cracks, betraying the fear that still whispers in the back of his mind, all too familiar from the past year or so. ]

I just don't want it to end like this, but we haven't been able to change anything yet.
teenrebellion: (🎶 19.)

[personal profile] teenrebellion 2024-03-31 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ his first instinct is to bite back with, "what good will it do?" bradley is still in the cell. he's still going to die tomorrow.

...but he sighs, and steps forward to touch the glass with his hand, too. ]
teenrebellion: (🎶 35.)

[personal profile] teenrebellion 2024-03-31 04:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Doing that has only gotten me into trouble so far.

[ shakes his head. ]

Someone will probably find an answer, we just need to hurry up so no one else has to die.
teenrebellion: (🎶 24.)

[personal profile] teenrebellion 2024-03-31 04:36 pm (UTC)(link)
This isn't about me, Bain-san. There are way more people at risk than just me.

[ frustrated, he drops his hand back to his side. ]

We're all looking for the answers. But "following our hearts" isn't going to bring anyoen back or stop what's happening.
teenrebellion: pixiv id 4825799 (🎶 81)

[personal profile] teenrebellion 2024-03-31 04:53 pm (UTC)(link)
If I end up with the rest of you, it's not because I want to. I- I'm just not cut out for things like this.

[ kazuki knows his limits. he knows how badly he handles crisis situations. but even on the safe side, he still isn't doing a great job of handling all this. ]

...It doesn't matter. It's not on me to figure everything out alone. Someone else will put the pieces together, we just need to do it in time to actually be able to help.

[ before all of them are killed, or something. ]
teenrebellion: (🎶 1.)

[personal profile] teenrebellion 2024-04-07 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[ the one good thing about your close cr not being involved in the execution is that it's a little easier to look away when it gets to be too much, and kazuki definitely did. so while he looks a bit shaken, still, he's more stable than say, last week.

he's actually settled somewhere with just one earbud in, tapping at a journal with a half a music score written in, but he looks up to offer brad a nod when he hears him. ]
teenrebellion: (🎶 26.)

[personal profile] teenrebellion 2024-04-07 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[ well, he's not exactly trying to hide it, but he does raise an eyebrow. ]

Didn't think you could read music.
teenrebellion: (🎶 14.)

[personal profile] teenrebellion 2024-04-07 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Scores? All musicians use them.

[ he nods at that. ]

Where they fall on the score is the type of note you're supposed to play. Like an A, or C.
teenrebellion: pixiv id 4825799 (🎶 83)

[personal profile] teenrebellion 2024-04-08 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
Pretty much, yeah. It's not that hard to read, once you know what to look for.
teenrebellion: (🎶 11.)

[personal profile] teenrebellion 2024-04-08 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
Music doesn't involve the whole alphabet, Bain-san. It's not for making words, it's just the notes.
teenrebellion: pixiv id 4825799 (🎶 104)

[personal profile] teenrebellion 2024-04-08 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
No, they're really just called notes in music.
teenrebellion: pixiv id 4825799 (🎶 92)

[personal profile] teenrebellion 2024-04-08 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
The clef? It tells you the pitch of the song.

[personal profile] teenrebellion 2024-04-10 03:14 am (UTC)(link)

More or less, yeah.
teenrebellion: (🎶 30.)

[personal profile] teenrebellion 2024-04-14 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
Sure. If any night calls for it, it's tonight.
teenrebellion: (🎶 32.)

[personal profile] teenrebellion 2024-04-14 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
There's still a lot of work to do, but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy what we have now.

Sake wouldn't be so bad.

[ he's only had a few times, but he likes the stuff. it's better than a basic beer, too. ]
teenrebellion: pixiv id 4825799 (🎶 91)

[personal profile] teenrebellion 2024-04-14 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
[ nice nice. he pours a little in a cup, then raises it like a toast. ]

To everyone leaving here alive.
teenrebellion: (🎶 32.)

[personal profile] teenrebellion 2024-04-14 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ toast!

he throws back his drink in one shot. ]


...We really needed something good to happen.
teenrebellion: (🎶 129)

[personal profile] teenrebellion 2024-04-14 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, definitely. Makes you wonder what changed, but I'm relieved no matter what.
teenrebellion: pixiv id 4825799 (🎶 115)

[personal profile] teenrebellion 2024-04-14 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
Nope... The only thing I can think of is that Scrap was there, for some reason. I'm still not sure why he's listed as crew now, but he was the one who sold that stuff they used to see through the mist in the first place, so maybe he did something.
teenrebellion: (🎶 11.)

[personal profile] teenrebellion 2024-04-14 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ honestly had been thinking about it since the profile showed up. ]

I dunno. It just felt kind of sudden to me. The way he just... showed up at the sleepover.
teenrebellion: pixiv id 4825799 (🎶 103)

[personal profile] teenrebellion 2024-04-14 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
Not really. It felt a little awkward, you know? You don't just go up to someone and demand to know why they're there.
teenrebellion: (🎶 9.)

[personal profile] teenrebellion 2024-04-14 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
I mean there's probably nothing stopping you from finding him now...
teenrebellion: (🎶 134)

[personal profile] teenrebellion 2024-04-14 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
...You know, I don't really know. I'm sure there's some big meaning to it, but I never actually thought it.

[personal profile] teenrebellion 2024-04-14 03:43 pm (UTC)(link)

[personal profile] teenrebellion 2024-04-14 04:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, our luck hasn't been the greatest in this place. Though I think today was maybe a good sign, at least.

teenrebellion: (🎶 128)

Fire on a spaceship seems a little dangerous...
teenrebellion: (🎶 34.)

[personal profile] teenrebellion 2024-04-15 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
Fire can still weaken metal, though? It can melt or get warped, and we can't really afford that on a spaceship.
