Ahhh it's just so exciting to think that you've found someone so important! You definitely seem like you must be very popular with boys... and girls, too!
[Then of course it dawns on her.]
O-oh no... before I was so violent with him when he wasn't even in control of himself-!!
[Granted she was also full of ghosts back then. He also... ate her. Hm. It was definitely a complicated thing.]
It would be a lie to say I wasn't scared, but... you're a kind person, so I can't stay angry.
[ r- ren stop! she turns a darker shade of red and most definitely doesn't look back at her. ] I, ah, m- maybe. [ rubs the back of her neck. ]
I think he'll understand. I mean, we were all kind of full of ghosts, so we were doing things we might not normally. And I don't think anybody can blame you for trying to get away from a couple of people like us. [ IT'S COMPLICATED. ]
...it's alright to be scared. I had gotten eaten my a monster in one of my earlier rounds, and while it wasn't exactly my friend I was absolutely terrified. [ she leans heavily back into ren. ] You're also very kind, Ren.
[The chlorine is gross smelling, but it drowns out the smell of dried blood that permeates the room. It's fine. She lets him go, realizing she might have overdone it with the impulsive hug. Still... he was nice. At least, she wants to think he is.
Everyone on Pep has always been nice to her. She trusts them, even those that she's still getting to know.]
Sorry... [For the hug. If it made him uncomfortable at all. Normally hugs were good for people like Wednesday.]
I just- I feel like every time bad things like these happen, I'm just troubling everyone. I feel like I'm the only one who falls apart over these things.
[Except for maybe Wednesday. They're kind of the criers of the group.]
[ He's not a nice man--he knows better than to think that. But no one gains anything from making her more upset than she already is. And he's not such a sadistic prick he enjoys seeing someone who's a relatively nice, normal person messed up. Besides-- ]
That's normal. Look around--you're not the only person crying here.
[ Hell, there's a guy on ZRAEL throwing up in the corner somewhere. ]
Don't apologize for that, not ever. It's the rest of us who are fucked that don't feel more messed up over it. C'mon.
[ he puts a hand on her shoulder and starts to steer her towards the doors that have opened up. ]
[She smiles faintly and nods. There were undoubtedly feelings lurking beneath that she was sorting through as well. Hopefully her father had been with her, supporting her throughout this ordeal. If that were true, it would make everything almost worth it. Almost.]
I saw Otou-san too at one point. [She worries her bottom lip, not elaborating further than that.]
I was with my Unit too for most of it. There were times we were forced to split off.
[How much should she tell her? Her parents were expected to go back to Taisho and be near Ao. There was also the possibility that her mother would be understanding of things and not full of anger that Ren felt herself. It was a complicated thing.
On one hand: Ao had been possessed. On the other: Ren felt tricked, as if her own reliance upon her mother had been manipulated. She didn't want her parents to be understanding of Ao or maybe even forgive her for that. She wanted Ao to disappear, but at the same time she knew it wasn't right to feel that way at all. Not when she had been able to forgive Nero after a while, not when she already wanted to forgive D.Va for eating her.
Why did this feel different and why did it make her chest hurt so?]
Ah- during my last moments in there, in fact! He was with Gladio-san and I.
[She felt like a liar, pretending everything was normal.]
[ Kaguya looks immensely relieved to hear that, ultimately. Closing her eyes, she lifts a heart to her chest and releases a breath.
Ren wasn't alone. Someone from her unit stayed with her, and even better... Zero was there with her too. It takes everything she has to bite back the tears that sting the corner of her eyes out of sheer relief. ]
And so you made it...? [ A shaky release of breath. ] I'm-- that's good. I'm so relieved Ren. The whole time my heart kept breaking with worry, wondering how you were, and what would happen if we--
[ If they crossed paths and one of them wasn't themselves. She shakes her head. ]
I did a lot of painful things inside there. But if it means you were okay, if Northstar-san and Hiryuu-san, and maybe a few others somehow managed to pull through in the end... then maybe those sins can be forgiven.
[She can't help but laugh a little too, feeling more at ease.]
Mm. This isn't my first kissing game, either. It's just... I always feel like I'm imposing for trying to play along when it might upset other people. Sometimes I get embarrassed too, depending upon the situation.
That's true. Sometimes it feels surreal to me, watching people go who have been here a long time and then acknowledging the fact that I've been here longer than so many others.
[Still, she has made some very good friends. She hopes Eirene can as well.]
A hug...? Sure, I won't say no. Hugs are nice in these situations, if we have to choose at least one thing.
It's just a little... well, you probably know I'm a vampire already, right? Aside from the game, I mean.
[He did live with her mother, so he might know.]
The idea of humans being temporarily something else - like a vampire - and it's treated as a novelty or something fun, when they don't experience the other things that go with it, feels a little grating.
[Sigh.]
Not that I don't want someone to have fun when this is a game.
[She's sobering up a bit more, enough that she's actively considering whether to continue this. It's true that since Monster Bingo, she's been wanting to explore being with other people just for the fun of it. Maybe it was too much? Maybe it was fine? She doesn't have an answer.]
Do you really want to...?
[She decides to stand, pulling Alizarin with her. If she doesn't protest, she will lead her towards the elevators, to her dorm.]
[ No protest on this end, only a flash of gratified amusement as Ren helps her up. ]
I want to. [ Not capable, yet, of thinking past the current moment, she has no such considerations or worries. It feels good, so she wants it. ]
[ She doesn't mind following a lead in this circumstance, mainly because she hasn't any idea where they're headed. If she possibly can she'll help herself to Ren's arm as they walk, keeping close. She's incredibly graceful so there won't be any awkward stumbles. ]
