Day 14 - [Action] | [Voice]

[de_bel_survivor]

[It's surprising to find out, earlier in the week, that Rosalia's his neighbour. Who would've thought that such a nice (and pretty) girl lives on the same floor as him?

And that she's understanding enough that 'Megumi' was really 'Kouki'.

Smiling, he walks over to her place and knocks on her door.]

Rosalia? It's me, Kouki.

[Silence. Odd. Is she out? Or maybe preoccupied? If she's busy, maybe he can surprise her. He could use the journal, but won't it ruin the surprise (once he thinks it up)?

He opens the door and stare. It's...awfully bare. And empty.] Rosalia?

[He know the signs, but it's the first Kouki have seen, personally. Not like with Naoya, who's most likely sent home (or is it a really long kidnapping?) but since his cousin's in hiding, it's hard to confirm it for himself.]

...

[A little while later, he opens his journal for an entry. His voice is calm and even, yet to those who know him well enough, he's hiding how he really feels and can probably tell.]

To everyone that know her, Rosalia Rossellini was sent home.

Comments

[godbent]

...Huh. [there's a pause and a short snort here]

Alright, nice heads up.

[de_bel_survivor]

It's the least I could do.

[Feeling rather bummed, but hiding it.]

[godbent]

[...

Well, whatever]

Yeah, that's right.

[de_bel_survivor]

[He's not sure if he should expect as much from her.]

Yeah. [Rosalia's back home, so it's good.] So we just keep on going.

[godbent]

That's what people have to do, here. [She should know :|]

Besides, not like it's Yoohoo or anything.

[de_bel_survivor]

[It just serves to remind him of the uncertainty behind Naoya's lack of response. He worries, but go on with life.]

With Yuzu--[It's comforting to see someone from home, even in Luceti. If she went home, it'll be back to the lockdown.]--she's still here.

[Lockdown and his choice, or the experiments and Malnosso's tricks...Geez.]

[godbent]

Exactly. It'd be a pain if she left.

[Okay, pain is an understatement, but Haruhi is fond of those sorts of things]

[de_bel_survivor]

Of course. [Quirk of a smile.] And who knows what she'd do without us?

[godbent]

[...That's a good call]

...Well, let's not think about that.

[de_bel_survivor]

[Yep.]

Yeah, let's not.

[wise_maiden]

Was she?

I see... thank you for letting us know.

[de_bel_survivor]

It's the least I can do.

[As someone that knows her, as her neighbour and...]
