[she's stalking around outside the dorm area, a little on edge. when she sees him, her eyes narrow and she folds her arms across her chest a bit defensively in case there are any sudden attempts at het again.]
...Did you get locked in?
...Did you get locked in?
[she squints at him because he's having emotions and she doesn't know how to handle that.]
...Oh. Yes. Were you close to him?
...Oh. Yes. Were you close to him?
...He was, if rather. Passive.
[this is so mean the man is dead.]
Well. Pull yourself together. We don't even know exactly what this means. We were already all dead.

They won't answer messages. Useless as ever.
Ah, yes. I've spoken with them about this. Did they elaborate, to you, in any useful way, what it means to impress him?
Or is it your conclusion that someone believes murder would likely impress?

[The bonfire isn't exactly the most kosher place to want to spend time after Saturday, but Akira is out there sitting at one of the tables. There is a surprisingly lack of Ryo.
Actually, there is a surprising lack of anyone else for a boy that, while a little dumb, seems mostly amiable. He glances up, but just nods.]
Hey.

Hey.
...Hello.
[she squints like she's checking to make sure he isn't crying before she approaches.]
I didn't expect to find anyone else here.

I didn't expect to find anyone else here.
Certainly. [because someone died here, sort of.]
You were behaving as though you intend to compete. Has this changed your outlook?

Oh?
[that catches her by surprise. she chews her lip a little.]
Why is that?
[that catches her by surprise. she chews her lip a little.]
Why is that?
No? [she chews on her lip a little more.] And what of Ryo?
It is preferable to remain in hell rather than to go back to it. For both you and he.
Can none of it be repaired?
Can none of it be repaired?
I will not tell him.
[she says it genuinely. this is hard; she wouldn't want to tell gideon the truth, either.]
There are no...other planets? [probably not, or he wouldn't feel so hopeless.] I admit, I understand. This place isn't so bad. It is not what I would picture hell to be. Though that is the quality about it that makes me most uneasy, as though we are waiting for worse.

[He shakes his head.]
We have other planets, too, but humans can't live on them yet. [Imagine being baby lifeforms.] I know...
I don't really want to stay here, but... the way they put it, I don't know if I have a choice. And unless time can be changed too, the only thing... I'd have to go back for is Ryo. I left him alone. But if he's here...

[well. in her limited knowledge of human history, the planet that was earth did have an apocalypse where everyone died and then necromancy was invented and they were resurrected, so.]
But you are not ready to have him know of his fate.
