week 3, post-body

[unsaid]

[well.

mikazuki hates this extra, but he will proceed onward. when he and tsurumaru find one another again, he starts with this - ]

... might you have had a dream last night, Tsurumaru Kuninaga?

[preowned]

... yes?

[ you think about how funny of a question this is without context when normal people dream regularly ]

[unsaid]

[the only sword confirmed to dream is gou inaba

anyway,]

Was it also of a game?

[preowned]

It was, yes.

I wonder who received the call...?

[unsaid]

I cannot say...

[ . . . ]

I wonder how many we might receive, knowing three people have fallen.

[preowned]

If it's only one, then we'll have to figure out who it might be for...

[unsaid]

Indeed....

[also as they approach the lobby, mikazuki will begin to

slow]

[preowned]

[ he also... slows... ]

Are your knees giving out?

[unsaid]

Yes.

Carry me?

[preowned]

[ he is immediately going to go to carry him ]

[unsaid]

[thanks

he accepts this easily, horribly enough, and as they walk through the lobby, he will just

look at the floor]

[preowned]

[ he also looks at the floor

all he sees is floor ]

[unsaid]

You keep your footing quite well, my crane.

[explain]

[preowned]

Mikazuki what is on the floor.

[unsaid]

I do not know.

[thanks]

But I fell earlier.

[preowned]

What, was it sli--

[ he just

suddenly drops him ]

[unsaid]

[mikazuki collides with the ground

he slides forward a little

he stays there, looking dead in the eyes]

[preowned]

S... sorry...

[ they're just going to stay here now ]

[unsaid]

[they are. two grandpas have fallen on the lobby floor and can't get up]

Is something the matter with your arms, my crane?

[preowned]

No...?

[ there's a long pause. and then he shakes his head. ]

Come on. Let's get into the elevator.

[unsaid]

[ . . . he will wait to be picked up again, as even sitting up take very clear effort]

... are you still feeling tired?

[preowned]

I feel quite well.

[ he will go to pick him up again. to the elevator. ]

[unsaid]

[he is picked up! he honestly is fine to walk once they're out of the lobby but

he's not going to say anything unless he's dropped again

but he will run his fingers through tsuru's hair. does he have any bumps on his head, francy,,]

There have been moments where you suddenly grow quiet.

[preowned]

[ none bumps....

but he'll hm softly. ]

Is that so? I didn't notice.

[ into the elevator. he is picking a random floor without looking at the buttons. rng. ]

[unsaid]

[field trip

mikazuki will just bring his hand down to rest against tsurumaru's face then, brushing his thumb against his cheek]

I imagined not.

[ . . . ]

I did not feel like myself again, until the morning of trial - it was in the same moment that a memory was returned to me.

If this persists longer, I will take issue with it.

[points gun at hotel don't mess with his crane's brain he'll kill you]
