Early on, Dawn gave me some random items, like she does.

One of them was a consent form, signed by a "Shin Tsukimi". Sou- He was... deeply interested in it, but left it with me. Whatever he was consenting to, however, was censored. But this is the same amount of text...

...Did he sign his life away to some criminals just so he could find his sister?

[Dude... what the fuck.]

[ Looks at Aubrey, looks at the contract. ]

I...kind of understand. I would do and give quite literally anything for my brother too.

[ Even if it's at his own detriment, so... ]

...He didn't even know his sister, though.

[Uuuuuuuughhhhhhh.]

Look, I'm not saying he's a bad person for agreeing to it - this guy is scummy and sucks. Obviously.

[But also like damn.]

[ ... Is it gauche to bring up his own circumstances in a situation like this? ]

...I chose to save my brother's life before he was even born. Many things...were not the same after that, but I don't regret my decision.

[ He purses his lips. ]

I would probably sign a suspicious contract with a scummy guy that sucks, too.

[ If anything, this conversation is strengthening what his vote will be. He gets why this person signed the contract now. ]

I mean, I get it too, but...

[It's just so frustrating to watch it happen right in front of her.

She clicks her teeth in annoyance.

... Wouldn't you? Would you not sign your life away for a chance to foster a connection with someone else not strained by your past? Someone who might even love you unconditionally because you're family..?

Just because you're family doesn't mean they'll love you unconditionally.

[Immediate reply.]

[personal profile] metagame 2024-10-13 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes.

But if you're desperate for human connection... If the only behavior you know is cohersion... You may force it to be "unconditional."

...I bet once he got out of school he would have found some people. ...Or just went anywhere else at all. Similar people tend to find each other.

That includes people from messed up families, too.

I'm afraid with what Mafuyu and I saw... he didn't.

This was a man he also... didn't feel he could say "no" seriously to... The cards were against him, I'm sure of it.

I'm not saying Sou- or Shin, I guess? Is bad for getting trapped by this guy. It's obviously super messed up.

[personal profile] beathollow 2024-10-13 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
It is.








Fuck this guy.

[ Looking at the form, then back to Mafuyu. Worry is written all over his face—he can't shake the uneasy feeling. ]

Did he ever mention this...Asunaro to you?
beathollow: (L2D. 049)

[personal profile] beathollow 2024-10-13 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
No. He acted as if the form wasn't his at the time, and left it with me.

Oh, I see...

[ Thinks for a moment. Changes the topic, ]

Is he your friend?
beathollow: (L2D. 010)

[personal profile] beathollow 2024-10-13 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
... Acquaintances, I'd say. He's... distant, and I was often busy.

[personal profile] speedingticket 2024-10-13 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah.

[ :( ]

...Still, my heart goes out to him.
