[he nods]

I remember, and I'm fine with talking. What do you want to know?

It was either someone killed me that night, or that I die by execution. I've been here long enough to know how it goes.

...I didn't. I had no plans that week or on that day, and I went to sleep exhausted.

Cosmos didn't either. We were both confused when we woke up.

We tried to wake you guys up, but none of you were budging.

Then I told him we should leave the theater. [...] I won't lie, I was suspicious of him. I thought my chances were better out of that dark room. We took the ferry to Subnutica, and that's when we ran into the octopus.

[he sighs..........]

...We did, yeah. It was already in Cosmos's form by then. Cosmos thought... it was someone from home. So we went into the bar so they could talk, but I wanted to keep an eye on them.

I drank water, but I didn't pay enough attention to what they were drinking. The octopus persuaded us to follow it back to the aquarium.

[it's so funny]

...We followed, and then we started fighting. That's when I killed Cosmos. Didn't realize I hit the wrong guy until he fell down. The octopus had its hands around him, so I cut its arm off. Then I chased it down to the onsen, where I killed it.

From: [personal profile] bookpapers
...I didn't mean to do it, but I still killed him.

[he's quiet,]

And maybe I would have, if Cosmos turned on me. Maybe I was expecting him to, so that's why I hit him.

From: [personal profile] bookpapers
[Oh.

He freezes in surprise at the grab, eye drifting to Tuuri's. Then he smiles -- it's thin and weak and not much of one at all, but it's still there. Endeared maybe, at Tuuri's words.]


...You're a historian, ain't ya? You deserve the truth -- all the angles of it.

bookpapers: (WHERE AM I)
From: [personal profile] bookpapers
[At that, Lavi's expression breaks -- just a little. He ducks his head as if to pull away from Tuuri's grasp.]

Don't.

[...]

I don't want them to. It's not supposed to be like that. [even if it's true, even though Tuuri's saying nothing but the truth,] It's not because I hate myself --

[though he also does]

Bookman aren't meant to mean anything to anyone. We live only for history.
