[ ... hm. well. ]

It's not like you could have known that would happen. It'd be a stupid thing for me to hold a grudge over.

[ He's held grudges over stupider things, so this is honestly a surprise to him. ]

R-really? Even though I also killed our teammates, and our friends, our family...?

[ an entire classroom full of innocent students? the teacher?? ]

[ While Hanako is out in the city, he and Rita turn a corner and end up right in each other's way.

And before they can walk away from each other, there's a memory that plays! Too bad. ]

[ Hanako startles, seeing Rita amongst a group of strangers who somehow manage to make her look normal. ]

You—

[ looks at her hands, looks away. It would've been so funny if this memory abruptly cut off right after she set Karol on fire ]

What was that?!

Don't be an idiot. All you did was cheat on a test.

[ and it's cool, no one cared about the teacher. "ryuki did--" no one. ]

[ yeah this is her karol murder confession memshare, enjoy ]

What... the memory? It's just something stupid that started happening today. You should probably ignore it.

Oh... okay.

[ That's... weirdly reassuring. To know that he can kill dozens of lives but it's okay because it was an accident! wow. this is great. ]

Thanks, Rita.

It's kind of hard to ignore something when it's got your face on it...

[ it's too late for this one, but he is definitely going to break these things whenever they pop up, don't look at them ]

Ignore it even if it's hard!

[ it wasn't even that bad of a memory. ]

Don't thank me! I wasn't saying it to be nice.

[ It's so tame compared to the others he'd been seeing, but that just makes him... curious... ]

Have yours been mostly popping up around you, or is it random...?

Huh? Around me, I guess...

What, you think they could pop up somewhere else?

I don't know! But if it's around you, I was thinking it'd be great for collecting information on people!

[ He's going to go stalk everybody so hard, learn all their secrets, ]
