[ Those words hit home more than he can know, and she unwittingly sucks in a breath. Something within her cracks, heals, cracks again. There's sorrow, determination, and something bittersweet.
(There's an important memory that resounds in her mind.)
Her fingers stretch, almost as if to wrap around his hand, but she takes a step back. Her smile is fragile with hope and heartache. ]
We must save everyone we can from this side.
[ Her anger is snapping back into place. She is settling back to how she usually is. It's astonishing that it's Giyuu who's bringing her back to where she should be, back to who she really is.
How strange are the circumstances that make her appreciate him more? ]
We'll do it.
[ She's resolute. They're Pillars. Even if they waver, they won't fall. Death doesn't stop that.
[ seeing shinobu return to her more natural state gives giyuu more of a sense of ease than he ever will realize. he vastly prefers the shinobu that stands before him now than the one who was before him moments ago. he doesn't realize what about his actions caused this change, but it's preferred nevertheless. there are things that she can do that are better than him.
(i, naru, will never play shinobu for these reasons. i refuse to be even more active than i am right out of the box.) ]
We will. There is no other option for us.
[ he'll punctuate the sentence with a solid nod. ]
We'll need to figure out what it is that we can do here differently than we have been able to do.
[ what kind of rights do the dead have? do we get any rights?? they need to be asking the right questions instead of saying the same things... ]
[ (stop this, naru. just have shinobu develop crippling guilt, then you, too, can dial back the activity.)
She's thinking. ]
You should confirm with one of the directors if you're able to divulge about what you've found out. Does mentioning what you know about those alive still impact them if you talk about them here?
[ GIYUU your DOXXING ]
I never pressed you for what you were looking into because I didn't want to bring harm to others.
[ But she's still mad that he never really talked about it either. He didn't tell her just how much danger he was putting himself until his arm got taken while her emotions were drained.
[ NO!!! shinobu deserves better than being played by my hands. ]
I believe Guy mentioned how it was fine for us to speak about abilities and team freely. [ but then again, they did have glowy bands of their team colors now. but, hm. ] I suppose I can specify about those who I know that are still alive when I go to speak with one of them.
[ because wow. doesn't giyuu have a small list of people he can doxx...? though not sure how helpful it would be considering their positions.
but, uh. he definitely has some things that he can say here but they won't help the situation. so he'll say nothing. he did lose an arm and was made the example for everyone else to act more cautiously. dying definitely didn't help the cause as well. ]
It is information you gathered, so it is your information to share, if you choose. It is also information regarding others' privacy, so that's something to think about, too, but it would be better to know what information the dead can or can't share in this space.
[ Not just what they can or can't share with the living. ]
