situationship

[ things happened yesterday.

robin raises a hand to gojo in greeting. pretends this is before she fails the puppy rule in public. i'll give you the memory next tag or so. ]

The puppy says good day, Mr. Gojo. The puppy says... you don't have to answer this question if you don't wish to, but after last week, I wanted to see how people felt about the monster affinity partnership. Have you found your partner, and if you haven't, do you want to?

[ He also raises a hand... ]

The puppy says I'm still not convinced about it all, but the goats said it's a pact they'd take if they wanted something. If that validates anything at all. Haven't found them yet, but I'm not looking for myself, anyway.

You? Says... The puppy.

.... The puppy says... I thought about it, and I'm still thinking about it. After last week, the puppy says... I don't want to be as hasty even if....

[ she does have a wish.

get shadowed. ]

[ Well... Someone who has a big heart would obviously have many wishes to make. Satoru understands that. ]

This is more than what most idols do, you know.

[ she smiles a little even as she makes sure to keep her hands to her side and not touching her neck. ]

It has never been my aim to be like most idols. It has always been for one goal.

... Do you think what you're doing is enough?

[ To circle back to their earlier conversation, seeing as it's relevant. ]

No.

[ that's immediate. ]

But that doesn't mean I'll stop myself from trying to do more.

Wow, not even a shot to the neck's going to stop you.

[ He seems happy about that, really. ]

You can still do more, even if you couldn't since, anyway.

[ she smiles. she may fall time and time again, but she'll try to fly again and again. ]

Of course. I won't stop going towards broader horizons. I wouldn't limit myself like that.

[ i see i mistyped... i meant *couldn't sing ]

I'd be sad if you couldn't continue your idol career, though.

[ Heard a song once and has become a fan.

Anyway, she can have this memory. Risen from the dead by the means of a breakthrough—pure enlightenment giving way to euphoria, yet Satoru searched for the young girl that he and Suguru were tasked to protect. She would have been collected by the cult... But her state he wouldn't be able to verify until he saw her corpse in the middle of the congregation, applauding and celebrating her death. He didn't feel a thing, not even a pang in his chest, despite the cold weight in his arms, but a question comes. ]

[ me trying to parse that and guessing something that wasn't sing

it's a horrible scene with very little regard for the life of a young girl. only geto seemed to feel anything at all in this memory.

it's unsettling, how gojo is in this memory. ]

... Is that how you usually feel?

[ The memshare gauntlet is a struggle... He looks at where the memory played before the darkness fades. ]

It looks bad, but I came back from the dead and was in a weird state of mind. That's not how I am usually.

[ ... ]

I didn't like what happened—and Suguru was right.

[ gojo rising from the dead is why people can't accept his later death

... ]

How did you die.... and how did you come back from it?

The assassin that killed her killed me first—well, to be specific, I was on the brink of death.

[ Toji is the problem. Even thinking about him puts a sour look on his face despite it being a year ago... Toji, the impact you caused. ]

... Whatever I say won't be helpful to us here, if that's why you're asking.

[ she is sensing that there is nothing good about toji. ]

It has nothing to do about the impact for here. I'm asking for the impact on you.

To come back, I was able to reverse engineer what we use to exert destructive energy into healing instead. Even though he pierced the spear into my skull and some of my brain, I had enough to regenerate. My other injuries healed after.

[ About how that impacted him... ]

It felt like I found the answer and understood everything.

[ NIRVANA? ]

Enlightenment?

[ nirvana is probably not something robin is too familiar with. maybe. ]

But that sounds like quite the talent to be able to pull that off. Even if after....

[ she wouldn't say he understood everything. ]

[ There are still conundrums in the universe and that comes down to people. ]

It felt amazing, but... I wouldn't want to go through that again.

I hope you never have to.

[ since robin thinks that means he has to have a near death experience again. ]

I prefer you safe and sound.

Thanks. I'd say I'm as safe as I can be, but we're here.

[ And that's... Not fine. But what can they do? ]

An idol should also stay safe so her songs can remind the people there's still so much to hope for. [ ... ] The partner wish is tempting, huh.

[ what can they do, indeed. suffer. ]

Thank you, Mr. Gojo. [ it's sweet of him to say, and it's the sentiment she wants to convey with her songs. ]

... I did think about seeking out my partner before the deaths crept higher and higher. At that point, I didn't think it'd be as wise to....

[ cucked by the many murderhands. ]

[ but now there's a way to circumvent partner death. ]

It wouldn't be unless there's some loophole... There's also the swamp trove, but I think that's worse.

[ At least for a little birdie who doesn't want to hurt people. YOU REALLY TRIED TO DIE SO HARD EARLIER ]
