[ mutters about shady grandpas and gremlins who adore them.
given the all clear, futaba toddles her way over and shuffles into his personal space. she doesn't quite lean on him given his still unknown state of injury but she's definitely flicking a fox tail at in minor agitation. silly jiji, this still isn't what she meant by 'as long as you come back'. jeez!!! ]
[ well that's a non sequitur if she's ever heard one. she blinks at him and tilts her head to the side because... well. all of her regrets are tied up into one big event ]

... the isle we were brought to was called Lotus Island. They promised that for those who housed regrets, they would be able to fix their past and secure their future. Part of what we experienced was the oddity of looping time, and navigating through our failures.
Even still... the premise of it sounded alluring enough, I suppose. After all, many humans pass all their time on earth with their regrets.
[ she's read those fics. it sucks the longer it goes on. ]
I mean, I guess it's worth it for the One Good End to break the cycle but the exhaustion to get there sucks if you're doing a one man journey. I'd just lay down and let the ground claim me after the 3rd round.
[ poor jiji. how many times did he go through it?? ]
