[WEEK 2, FRIDAY POST-INVESTIGATION: Neku]

[spinatalltale]

[she knows he doesn't want to talk to anyone right now. as someone very familiar with the process of shutting down emotions in order to cope, she could easily see the way he had detached as soon as the announcement was made]

[she didn't know the nature of Josh and Neku's relationship. but the former meant something to the latter-- good or bad-- and that is why it's Neku she approaches]

Hey.

[the shitposting dramatics from earlier are gone]

Got a minute?

Comments

[he might not be turning to face her, but he'll be able to hear the sound of her cracking a book open and flipping through the pages]

Tell me more about him. About what kind of person he was.

[???]

I COMPLETELY FORGOT THIS SORRY

[soloremix]

[ that, at least, gets his attention more so than her initial greeting did. with a raised eyebrow, he looks at her, especially taking note of the book in her hands. ]

What are you doing? Keeping a journal about all the people who die?

IT'S OKAY I WILL BACKTAG!!

[spinatalltale]

Hm? Something like that.

[her smile is wide, but a little. . . empty. as it usually is]

He needs to be remembered.
