009. Anonymous Text/Action for Goldenrod City
[ANONYMOUS TEXT]
[The anon text on the network tonight is simple and to-the-point, hitting at about eleven at night; it seems that somebody isn't sleeping easily.]
Is there a way to stop hating someone?
If not, is there at least a way to stop being so angry about it all the time?
[ACTION]
[While he's not straying too far from the house he and his classmates have more or less taken over (with the assistance of a ridiculous amount of Eevees), Ishimaru can be found wandering around outside tonight; he's staying close to the breeding center and the like, but he's definitely seeming more restless than usual, his actions aimless. He's been having difficulty sleeping for almost a week now; it probably shows in his mannerisms and his speech - everything has been seeming less enthusiastic than usual - but he's been trying to keep up appearances, if nothing else.
At least he's not alone for the time being; he's got Eeveemaru with him - one of the members of the great furball legion from the house, all decked out in what looks like a little replica of Ishimaru's coat and armband (because if Togami thinks he's getting any aspect of this back - Eevee or outfit - he's got another thought coming to him, apparently). The thing is just kind of chilling on his shoulders for now, seeming a bit bewildered at being outside at a reasonably late hour but not too bothered otherwise; once in a while it bats at something not visible to anyone but there nonetheless - seems he's got Aiko with him as well, though the Misdreavus isn't visible for now.
It's late, and he's tired, but at least the night is nice, if a bit overcast. Maybe it'll rain soon, who knows. He just doesn't feel like being inside.]

...I don't know, kyoudai. It's...
[He hesitates. Shakes his head.]
...I don't know anymore.
no subject
[Admittedly he can't say he knows what it's like because he doesn't. He hasn't killed Fujisaki yet. She might refuse to speak to him due to that. She might refuse to speak to him because she likes pretending that everything is alright. But he'll never know if he doesn't try.]
It'll be alright, kyoudai. We're here now. We don't have to worry about that fucking school or what happened there. I mean, we're never gonna forget it and I don't think we should, but we've got plenty of time to heal here.
[Well, hopefully they have plenty of time. Fujisaki and Asahina didn't.]
no subject
...If you're going to talk to Celes-kun, then there's something else that you need to know about what happened back in Hope's Peak.
no subject
[He doesn't like the sound of that...]
no subject
[He hesitates again, unable to make eye contact.]
...She's...technically correct.
no subject
What? If she didn't kill you... who did?
no subject
[His gaze is quick to dart down toward the ground; he can't bring himself to try to amend that.]
It was Celes-kun's idea, and she convinced him to kill me. But it was Yamada-kun who carried out the actual murder.
no subject
[...]
I'll fucking rearrange his face! Why the fuck would he go along with plans to kill someone!? What the fuck was he thinking!?
[Were you expecting that reaction, Ishimaru? You should have been.]
no subject
[Oh, he'd known it was coming, but that doesn't do anything to stop his own response to it; before he even really realizes what's going on he's crying, the reaction purely involuntary, and he's suddenly vaguely aware that they're probably making a scene in the middle of the street what with all the shouting but he can't say he really knows how to fix it.]
I don't want anyone else to be hurt, especially not because of me! He did it because Celes-kun told him to - because he...he thought I hurt her somehow, and that I wanted to kill him, and apparently Ishida was so uncontrollable that that was believable! It wasn't...
[He cuts himself off; he doesn't even know where that was going, so he attempts to force himself to switch tracks.]
You're not going to hurt him if he shows up here!
no subject
Ishimaru doesn't want him to hurt the person who killed him. Mondo doesn't understand that. No, that's not right; he kind of understands it. He doesn't want Enoshima to get killed because of what she did to all of them, but he's never been one for killing anyway. Ishimaru obviously feels the same way.]
...Sorry. I'm... fuck, I'm sorry. I won't hurt him, alright?
[He reaches out to pull Ishimaru into a hug, hesitating a bit before messing with his hair. Who gives a fuck if anyone else can see them.]
I don't think Ishida was that bad when I met him, but I didn't see him for very long. I don't think he would've done anything bad to Celes though. She might've lied about that, right? So... I don't think you're to blame for that, okay?
no subject
[His words are kind of muffled, but that's because he's not exactly wanting to stop with the whole...burying-his-face-in-Mondo's-coat thing that he's currently doing while he gets a grip on himself. That hair-playing is nice, though, getting something of a shiver out of him before he relaxes.]
Naegi-kun said she lied about it - I'm guessing that was revealed at the trial, maybe - but I...I had to hear it from her. That's what we were talking about in Goldenrod, and why I wanted to see her alone.
[He twitches a bit; he can feel himself starting to settle, and though it takes him a moment, at least he's taking the time to make sure he figures out what he wants to say.]
...I didn't tell you about Yamada-kun because I knew you would want to hurt him. It's not that I don't trust you! Because I do, it's just...I didn't want you doing anything that you would regret later.
no subject
...Yeah. Yeah, I wouldn't wanna do anything I'd regret either. Thanks for looking out for me.
[He ruffles Ishimaru's hair again but doesn't draw back or let go.]
I promise you I won't hurt him. I'll just ignore him, alright?
no subject
[He falls quiet for a moment, thinking.]
I know you'll be there for me if he tries anything, though.
