[ You're exhausted and maybe part of you wants to give up. It's not just you here. It's everyone you care about. It's everyone who's here with you. If you can't keep going for yourself, try to do it for the others.
He has to keep on clinging to the fragile hope that they can fix this.
Kumon's breathing is still a bit rough, but it smooths out a bit. ]
[Both by the prism in its refraction, and by himself and Yasusada in their killing of what was left.]
I know it hurts. Loss always hurts, no matter how it shows up and no matter how much of it you see. But we'll keep going, together. We're all like a team, right?
[Maybe they're clinging to a fruitless hope, but honestly, it feels better than despair.]
[It hurts... It hurts so much, but leaving him like that would be terrible, wouldn't it? Sometimes... horrible things have to happen to keep everyone safe. And he'll be okay, won't he? On the other side?
Kumon's not afraid to cling onto hope.]
We are. We're a team and we'll help each other when we can.
[THE RUFFLES!! It's about the best he can do for comfort since words fail him at the worst times.]
Yeah. From what I've gathered, those guys're really pushing us to start making some changes. Not completely destructive, but disruptive. Transformative. We wanna open up as many tears as we can, but do it without just completely destroying stuff at random.
[Kashuu also doesn't have the braincell for this, god bless.]
I think we're gonna have to trial-and-error it, honestly... I know some guys're gonna vandalize the moon? And I was thinking we could dismantle some of the library to turn it into an art gallery or something. Stuff that changes things up and breaks things down, but not completely...?
[The dead were as helpful as they could be, he thinks. God.]
[THE DEAD HAVE OUR BRAINCELLS!!! He also notices that flicker, but doesn't comment on it.]
We could start with that, yeah. We can always escalate more if what we're doing doesn't seem to be enough, but we can't really dial it back if we do too much and start messing stuff up, y'know?

Yeah, we are. We're doing pretty good, I think. ...Have you gotten any letters today?
no subject
I got one from November. Did you?
no subject
Yeah. From what I've gathered, those guys're really pushing us to start making some changes. Not completely destructive, but disruptive. Transformative. We wanna open up as many tears as we can, but do it without just completely destroying stuff at random.

Disruptive, but not destructive... like... graffiti or something?

The moon, there's a little flicker of something for a moment, but he thinks Danny will understand. They're trying to get them back, after all.]
Hmm... Maybe if we move stuff from one location to another? A buncha library books in um... the dinosaur park?

Yeah. It's real hard to take back damage.
[Thinking about what happened to the music store... their nonexistent music store. He broke a whole CD there.]
no subject
At least the music room still got us one of those tears that we're after... Even if we gotta chill a little.
no subject
I'll move some books around.
no subject
Mm. And if you need help with anything, come find me, 'kay? I'll do my best.
