[After making a big ol' fuss about Humanity and Not Murdering People, Kaveh is just chilling on a curb somewhere, nursing a coffee and gazing out at the shadowy figures around them. He seems lost in thought, and a touch sad, though he schools his expression when he sees her and straightens up a bit.]
[ she's here to chat, actually. because it's good to get to know the mindsets of the other players here, and he's the only guy with a map of the city so far as she knows.
though, she's not exactly being delicate about it... ]
[SWEET YUZURIHA!!! Fortunately, for all that Kaveh is a bleeding heart, he's been through too much to be naive. They caught the killer--he isn't all that broken up about that, even if he still hates how little he can do in this situation as a whole.]
i really don't know pixi i guess they will just happen to be sitting together somewhere by sheer coincidence. yuzuriha is not emoting, she is projecting deadly calm vibes... if... that helps...
[HELP I'M LOSING IT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA did she leave the execution room asap bc they can just be sitting here Dead Inside--
--but no if she left then eventually yeah they can just end up in the shared void. By the time Kaveh's feelings burn out, he's left projecting a kind of hollow mourning. For the most part he's been disassociating, but he does, at least stir a little when he sees her.]
Yuzuriha. [Just--acknowledging her, really. They're all suffering today.]
[ they are chilling somewhere that is definitely not the vroom room. actually, there are so few places left here they can have a peaceful chat in. maybe they're up in the eiffelfe tower again, looking down at the view... ]
...You asked me what I thought death would be like. [ she looks over to him and smiles a little. ]
Nothing like this, that's for sure.
[ a pause. ] Before I ever made it here, I was sent to an island that was supposed to be paradise. And it really was beautiful, but soon became a living nightmare.
...All that to say, I'm not sure what sort of afterlife there is. [ when you've seen so much anime bullshit in your lifetime... ] I just hope it's a quiet one.
[WE REALLY ARE RUNNING OUT OF NON-DEPRESSING PLACES, HELP. I HATE THIS.
Kaveh still looks kind of like shit, but that's what happens after you watch gay snake vore while hungover, probably. It's fine. He hums softly in acknowledgment, thinking over her words.]
I never really thought about it. [If he's totally honest.] ...Rather--it was too hard, after my father died.
[At first, he'd just wanted him back, more than anything. But then he'd desperately hoped that his father's soul was somewhere safe, warm, beautiful. And yet--he couldn't conceive of a place like that for his own wretched soul. It was easier, in the end, to try not to dwell.]
I guess my thinking wasn't so different from yours. [Or... still isn't, maybe, depending on what comes after all of this.] I just thought of it as somewhere peaceful, without any pain.
[I am not even going to bother picking a location WE CAN PICK ONE LATER IF WE WANT!!! For now, they just happen to be in the void, and HELLO PIG. Goodbye pig.
[ also, yuzuriha needs a moment to digest the memory. in reality, she's definitely more dori than she is kaveh—pragmatic, objective, impartial.
but this is his memory, and she is reliving his experience.
yuzuriha is not an artist—she never had a chance to be. but she wonders what it would have been like to have that sort of generous soul, have enough to continuously give to a world that only keeps taking.
to be frank, they don't often see eye to eye on things. but here, she is looking through his mind, perceiving the possibility of beauty she would have never seen otherwise. seeing all the hurt he has received and puts towards creating more love.
he has something she doesn't, a unique strength that sets him apart, too. ]
[ she is insanely drunk and texting people post-party!
but instead of stringing together words she's just sending them images from her camera album.
kaveh will receive selfies of them in eiffelfe tower, some shots from curfew, a picture of them with their vroom room bikes looking uh. a bit scruffed up, and a bunch of other candids from around the place! probably a picture of him and vash being disasters at the party as well. hehe ]
[ underground lake fishing time! idk why i had to question whether she'd know how to fish, she's from pre-modern japan so definitely. anyway, she tugs on her line a little, hoping the movement of the lure will attract some fish... i hope kaveh is similarly enjoying his genshin mini-game. ]
[FISHING TIME FISHING TIME. Kaveh is here as well!! He's fiddling with his bait; he doesn't look totally inexperienced, but he's clearly not, like, super used to this.]
[It's always so funny to do Thursday PCs when you're curfewing together
BUT ANYWAY here he is!! He's been partly healed and he's cleaned up, though he still looks very tired. He's toying with a new necklace when he sees her, and his gaze is distant, like he's listening to something.]
By which I mean I don't think he has any idea of a username for Yuzuriha so he's eventually just going to wander around Shibuya and concentrate on her, awkwardly saying her name until she shows up!!]
Kaveh doesn't blame people for celebrating--he, however, isn't really in the mood for it, so he left the party fairly early. She can find him out in the park by the lake with his hands in his pockets, gazing out over the water. He glances over as she approaches, though, and smiles a little, tired.]
[ yuzuriha stayed for ylfa's birthday celebrations, but she's out at a reasonable time and hasn't really touched any alcohol beyond a few casual sips. she's not quite in the same grave mood he's in, it's more that she's unwilling to let her last memories with her friends here be faded by drink. ]
...More or less.
[ (or perhaps it's still going, she isn't entirely sure.) ]
Are you okay? [ she did notice his absence, and he is alone by himself staring out into the lake, so. ]

We should check it out inside.

It looks like something you'd find in Fontaine. I don't think I'd design anything like it myself, but it is interesting to look at.
