I know. I know, I... I've never even gone through that, and I still don't want to...

[a little shake of his head.]

...I'm sorry. If you didn't feel as if you could tell me.

[ablazement]

[she pulls her knees to her chest, peeking at him.]

I didn't tell anybody, if it makes you feel better. But - don't think of it that way. Wasn't because I didn't trust you, it's just because I didn't want you to dread it.

[cumulative]

...I probably would have.

[he admits, quietly. even if he would have accepted it, he would have dreaded that it was coming.]

It's... it's difficult, to leave.

[ablazement]

Yeah. I know a lot of people have.

[she taps her chest - it's not glowing!]

But I'm here, and I've still got my real heart, so we're not that far away.

[cumulative]

It still feels farther than it really is. I-

I still wish I was there with all of you.

[ablazement]

[opens her mouth

vanishes]

[cumulative]

Karlach-?!

[ablazement]

[boops back in]

-- the fuck!

2/2

[ablazement]

Oh. Hey. Wow, okay, so not even that much, huh?

... Sorry, I know you do. It's complicated.

[cumulative]

Th-that's a little alarming...

[ablazement]

Ugh, tell me about it.

... You want to tell me a bit about what you've all been up to over here?

[cumulative]

Um... I think that you've seen most of it...? After... after you left, I've been staying with Gojo and Suguru, so we've taken one of the houses here for this week.

[ablazement]

That's good. [a sigh.] They just wrote to me recently, but it's so fucking staggered. I need to check on them, too.

[a beat.]

I think I sent you mail recently? A lot has happened.

[cumulative]

You did, yes-- I received it the other day, b-but I hadn't written back yet. I'm a little glad now that I didn't...

[he really almost wrote sad ass letters to all you fucks only for you to show up BUT luckily, no.]

Um, I assume that you can't say what's been happening-?

[ablazement]

I've got most of my letters for the week still, so - I'll write a little later.

[a beat.]

-- I think I can tell you I went to your world, sort of?

[cumulative]

Y-you, too? So that's why you said...

[ouuuugh IMMEDIATELY LOOKING GUILTY]

[ablazement]

[she rubs at her neck.]

Yeah. It wasn't fun. I'm alright, though. [lies, but it's fine. he might be able to see some scars she didn't have before, actually, like the huge burn across her chest where the kigu is sort of unzipped, and like a huge jagged scar through her tail.]

[cumulative]

...are you? Anis was...

[he knows what their awful little island is like, okay. he is also looking worriedly at the scars.]

[ablazement]

[silence, for a moment.]

I killed a couple people, and got drugged out of my mind. [she says, bluntly, shrugging.] Like I said, wasn't fun.

[cumulative]

Drugged-? What... what was happening...?

[fun facts mathis knows Nothing about what happened on their side.]

[ablazement]

[help me]

Some society bullshit. They had us thinking we were killing demons for God or whatever, but I don't think they ever were. They were just people.

[cumulative]

I- I've never heard of that... the only society we have doesn't kill anyone...!

[lmao!!]

[ablazement]

[HELP ME X2]

Well, that's what happened. [she's a little cagey about it, because it's... raw, still, and she murdered a SHITTON of people in a really brutal way! so!]

[cumulative]

...wh-wherever it came from, I'm... I'm sorry that you had to go through that, Karlach.

[trying to take her hand out of habit]

[ablazement]

[he can have a blip of contact, and then it's just cold feeling inside his hand.]

I'm okay, but - thank you. [...] Boots talked me through most of it.
