[ okay, well, reflexively ace watches because it's hard not to, but then he's the one waving it away right after because of hanako's face. just. scroll that out there. he can think about what it means in a second (twin? killed him? I don't even know if Ace was aware Hanako was a ghost?) ]
You still with me? Hanako. C'mon. [ he can ask later, he's seeing things out of context and he's more concerned with that frail look on hanako's face ] It's over.
[ it's not, that's not how memories work, but. it is done recreating itself for now? ]
[ It'd be nice if Ace could wave that memory away as if it never existed, and it'd be even nicer if he could do Hanako a favor and not think too much about what he just saw.
It's not like he hasn't seen his brother's face multiple times since then, but having that murder thrown in his face is a punch to the gut just as it was back then, making it hard to breathe, to think, to do anything but bsod for a sec ]
[ so ok clearly the answer is to tell him to breathe and try to ground him back but one piece is only violence so ace tries to shake the bsod out of him ]
[ Sometimes you just gotta violence somebody back to reality. It's what Tsukasa would've done for him, and it's what draws Hanako back, making to shrug Ace off but making no real effort in it
...
He shakes his head, as if that'd clear his throat, but it's still thick and wet when he speaks. ]
Sorry. I don'tâ- ... Just pretend you didn't see that.
[ he is kind of a little shocked pikachu about it. terrible at real sentiments aimed towards him he kind of angles his hat down to hide his embarrassment. this is now awkward ]

Is that what you want? [ it's surprisingly calm. ]
no subject
[ Of course yes. Who wants to talk about their past traumas? not him, not anybody ]
no subject
[ he's not about to pry into what seemed like a pretty traumatic kill is the problem for the cr i guess ]
I don't mind if you want to ask stuff about mine, though. Or if you want to talk about anything else. [ a beat ] Even the Mika figurines.
[ that last one is teasing to try and lift the mood a little ]
no subject
Buy me a Mika one. And that one of you too, 'cause you broke it.
[ He broke it. but it was Ace's fault. ]
no subject
[ damn. he actually goes to buy without complaint because they have infinite money. this is not a real problem. ]

Just what are you planning to do with this collection? Decorate the whole dorm?
no subject
Not the whole dorm!!
[ just. one room. their Mika shrine. ]
no subject
You sure? I don't think this fits in one room.
no subject
If it doesn't fit in our room, we'll just have to make more room in yours.
no subject

no subject
