post palace hot pot party (week 7)

[townmusician]

[Yoon's Palace has faded away, but the fact the God of Conflict decided to show up and intervene again...

Well, that's! Not a good sign! To say the least! But there's nothing to be done about that right now, and Haruka isn't of the mind to really sit and wonder about divine conflicts and grandstanding and all of that, anyways. It's not his problem. The people who deal with that sort of thing on the regular can be in charge of all of that.

What he's in charge of (by virtue of being annoying) is... hot pot. Specifically rounding up everyone and dragging them out to a hot pot restaurant in the city.

He'll miss having money but... he'll just have to work hard to earn it back... Have fun, everyone. (Or maybe he can find a way to charge Mina for this?)]

That "edgelord" used to work for Shinra as one of their soldiers.

[ SOLDIER, specifically, but she's not going to get into the nitty gritty of all of that. ]

He's basically a science experiment... which he found out a few years ago and I think it made him spiral. So, he decided that he'd take the world down with him.

[It's hard not to see a bit of a parallel between her and Sephiroth, at least in terms of their background. While he doesn't have the details on what exactly was done to either of them, it would still be a point of commonality that most people couldn't exactly relate to, himself included. Still, that's where the similarities end, because he figures that even if Aerith discovered an unpleasant truth about herself, she'd never go that far off the deep end.

So maybe he's reading a little too far into this, but he'll toss the question out anyway.]

...You feel bad for him?

[ Hmm. Does she? Aerith takes a few moments to really think about it before eventually shaking her head. ]

Maybe if he didn't go so far, I would. But the way he is now? No, I don't. He could have done anything else and he chose to destroy everything instead.
