15S R7 Week 2 Tuesday

[Makima is chilling in the lounge with a book as you do. At some point it happens that she and Kira are alone in the room. After a little silence, she finds herself aware of him.]

You know, I might not have mentioned to you that I've lost memories of my own as well. Is there anything bothering you that you would like to talk about with me?

Comments

Is it so harsh? Accusing a person of subterfuge doesn't typically charm them, whatever reason you assume they have. So no, Yoshikage Kira won't stir shit with them unless there is actual leverage.

[Empathy? He doesn't know her.]

[yesorwoof]

That's an interesting stipulation. Suppose there was evidence that one of them had done something bad - an undeniably suspicious reaction to a recovered memory. And suppose that there was evidence that something suspicious happened on the ship - an unexplained note, for example. Even taken together, it wouldn't necessarily mean that the suspicious person had undertaken the suspicious action.

[It seems that she has scenarios in mind for both of these, though...]

[onychomance]

Well... I can at least try to find out if there are any rifts between them. I just want to keep it friendly so my sleep is undisturbed.

[yesorwoof]

You must work hard to get a lot with a little boy in the house.

[? ? ? ? ? ? ?]

[onychomance]

[Kira looks Makima over with a furrowed brow at the change of topic back to his family. Hard to think she just got bored of her other topic.]

It's not too difficult. The boy spends all his time in his room, and barely even talks to his mother either. It must be his rebellious phase.

Do you mean to insinuate something?

[yesorwoof]

Hm? [She heard him like he had said all he could do and was now thinking about his own feelings again. But there is a reason she seems so capricious.] I'm staying with Akane-chan. I wanted to make sure I kept my own potentially upsetting words to a minimum. She's pleasant enough as a roommate and fellow captive, after all.

[onychomance]

Ah. I see your dilemma.

[But yes, that is all he can do. The truth is that he is thinking about his own feelings 100% of the time.]

[yesorwoof]

It'll work out.

[She gets up and puts away her book.]

We can talk some other time if needed, then.
