Ill tidings all around. How troublesome that they should believe themselves to be living other lives...and then be returned to us, dead and unrecognizable.
[HE'S TRYING TO FIND RAFAYEL BUT I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF RAFAYEL WOULD HAVE HIS NAME IN HIS COMPACT MESSAGE SO MAYBE HE REALLY JUST CALLED AROUND TO EVERY SINGLE COMPACT.]
[ in the pillow pile under the stars is the very rare sight of medea resting. her eyes are closed and it'd almost appear like she's sleeping if her hand didn't lift.
[ welcome to the ice rink! tobari has never seen snow before. he's wandering around completely unaware of the dangers of the ice. surely that won't be a problem. for now, you may have optional heterosexuality if you so choose ( 2:08:40 - 2:12:44 ). it's probably just glimpses of this interaction in the ice. if nothing else, it looks tender. some hets have rights.
Tobari's life has been a fortunate one. He'd be the first to say so. Despite the circumstances of his birth, he's defied the odds and managed to survive even this long. Doing so was only by the grace of the people around him. As a child, he was picked up by Shioji—what does it matter if that same beloved older brother later betrayed him and set him up as a scapegoat? He was clothed, fed, given shelter, and raised by the Red Light District—so what if, when it all burnt down, one day those same people who treated him so gently blamed Tobari for all their troubles? Somehow, in spite of everything, he even found someone who loved him through all the tragedies.
And yet he had the nerve to want more. The chance to hold this beautiful girl's hand, even if she was out of his league. The opportunity to see that flower field on the surface, blooming beyond imagination. And—time. Despite the disease festering in his lungs, a marker of exactly where he came from and the fate he couldn't escape, he just... wanted a little bit more time. [ at the end of it all, he's just a little bit stunned. it's one thing to experience and another to witness. and yet his gaze remains glued on the image of that lovely, lovely girl, bloodied and eyes closed for an eternal rest, until his own lungs demand that he remembers how to breathe. then it's just one shuddering breath in as his hand comes up to pinch the bridge of his nose, and he figures out how to school his expression back into something a little less...
[ Be out and about around the resort midway through the week and you might run into Tokinaga... he's without cane, though he seems kind of weighed down in a totally different way. He is also... eyepatchless, bruises-less, double the amount of eyes, and warm and cosy in a nice scarf.
He's just kind of staring out into the scenery and looking vaguely lost. ]

[ whenever rafayel returns to his room/wherever he's been staying (or maybe he just comes across it somewhere else, i'm not the boss of you), he will find a small wrapped parcel waiting for him. should he unwrap it, he will find some nice paintbrushes, a book on color theory, and a box of chocolate-covered strawberries. there's also a short note. ]
Somehow the strawberries just felt like a very you thing? I don't know. Anyway you probably have stuff like this at home but I didn't want to just walk away without giving you something and letting you know that I'm definitely going to be thinking about you when we split up. It kinda sucks, man. Who else will I be able to just hang out with and commiserate with in a way I didn't expect? This isn't much, but consider it a thank you for everything you've done for me in our time here. You surprised me. I'm grateful you never really left.

but in the end!
memory: greed (tobari bad end spoilers)
The real greed is this and only this: "... After the new year... and a while after that, it'll be spring." ( 2:28:49 - 2:36:00 )Tobari's life has been a fortunate one. He'd be the first to say so. Despite the circumstances of his birth, he's defied the odds and managed to survive even this long. Doing so was only by the grace of the people around him. As a child, he was picked up by Shioji—what does it matter if that same beloved older brother later betrayed him and set him up as a scapegoat? He was clothed, fed, given shelter, and raised by the Red Light District—so what if, when it all burnt down, one day those same people who treated him so gently blamed Tobari for all their troubles? Somehow, in spite of everything, he even found someone who loved him through all the tragedies.
And yet he had the nerve to want more. The chance to hold this beautiful girl's hand, even if she was out of his league. The opportunity to see that flower field on the surface, blooming beyond imagination. And—time. Despite the disease festering in his lungs, a marker of exactly where he came from and the fate he couldn't escape, he just... wanted a little bit more time.
[ at the end of it all, he's just a little bit stunned. it's one thing to experience and another to witness. and yet his gaze remains glued on the image of that lovely, lovely girl, bloodied and eyes closed for an eternal rest, until his own lungs demand that he remembers how to breathe. then it's just one shuddering breath in as his hand comes up to pinch the bridge of his nose, and he figures out how to school his expression back into something a little less...
well, lost. ]
