(he's fucking sick. the joys of loving and being loved in return, and also, merely thinking that he's not loved back. absolutely thrilling.

he hates this. big means that leaving his home is being very hard, and he's breaking out fevers, having difficulty breathing, and much worse than he has been in his life. that says something.)

looking for errand people. will pay accordingly.

p.s.: my little sister used to read stories about the whole coughing flowers situation. it's called hanahaki. something something, one-sided love, get that person to love you or die trying but literally? i don't remember much else. the younger japanese people might know better.

does it matter

i ain't you.

all i can do is, from someone in my position, who knows exactly what i would do, just ask you for your own good to drop it.

you're right. you aren't

I just want to know the who and why
so I know who to return the favor to

you know, biki.

all my siblings were murdered. all three. for two i was there, i watched it. it's not worth it. there are people who would definitely rather die than have you take a life, and quite frankly, die trying.

i understand the feeling, i am on the other side of your situation, and i can tell you. this is a terrible idea. honor her and move on.

(be better than him. SOMEONE'S GOT TO.)

I'm sorry you had to go through that. I mean it.
this isn't just me trying to offer sympathy

my mom left me a notebook from right before she died
I just got it a couple of months ago
if everything she's written in there is true and will happen, I need to figure this out
whether they were involved or if there's another group in play

this isn't just about getting closure

[invinciblemikey]

do as you please.

(he tried. he ain't no takemitchy, after all.

besides, the likelihood of her just sprouting back into life feels so small, that he really doesn't see it happening. he just has to make sure she doesn't end up like him here.)
