Day 11- Secrets from beyond the grave (V3 Spoilers)

[justpure]

[Korekiyo has led Futayo into the shrine room. It's quiet, but he's pretty sure nobody will enter here.]

Now, my friend, you must never speak of what I'm about to show you to anyone. The last group that found out shunned me for it, and I don't want that to happen in a game where popularity is key to survival.

Are we absolutely clear on that?

Comments

I'll put this thread under a cut if I have to.

[He does realize it's not exactly the same... But he does feel a strong similarity. Strong enough to allow him to accept her embrace and gently stroke her head.]

... I'm not too sure, but your father must have cared for you very much...

[cluelesscavewoman]

[This is nice, and she's quite happy to cling. Even if she's not really happy at the moment...]

Judge. All the others keep saying he raised me wrong. But he did not. Just like how Korekiyo-dono's sister protecting him is not wrong.

[She's both the best and worst person to tell. Accepts it without disgust, but not capable of realizing that there's even something to be disgusted of.]

[That must be the curse of these two lost souls.

Kiyo closes his eyes, almost understanding her predicament. He can't quite imagine a girl as quiet and naive as her being so full of energy (when she's sober) but... He still remembers the story she told him on that first date, about her father's sacrifice and her lost home...]

He is the one who trained you in the art of battle, is he not?

[cluelesscavewoman]

[She can't see his face. But that is okay, cause he is there and Korekiyo listens. And he thinks about what she says, properly, enough to understand. Instead of dismissing it as nonsense or asking things that don't have an answer.]

Judge. He and Kazuno taught this one everything I needed to survive.

[justpure]

Mh...

[He opens his eyes and leans back, so he can see her face.]

Kazuno? Is that one of your friends? Or perhaps family as well?

[cluelesscavewoman]

[Head tilt?]

Kazuno is an automaton...Mother's spirit was put inside of her after her death...

[Still not sure what to make of that, or not realising that sooner.]
