Just a quick FYI:

Don't break the tombstones. Bad idea.

A simple "I'll be over in a second" would have sufficed.

[Why, yes, he's a little bit miffed.]

Whatever. Can I come in?

[Offline]

[leggierissimo]

I don't see why not.

[Offline]

[con-bravura.livejournal.com]

So what was that, anyway?

[He comes in, sitting on the same place on the floor that he always does.]

Tuberculosis?

[Should he start leaving a chair for you, Neku?]

My, you're a sharp one.

[Offline]

[con-bravura.livejournal.com]

[Probably.]

We studied it in class once.

[Offline]

[leggierissimo]

It's not exactly the most pleasant way to go.

[Really, Neku, why are you that interested?]

[Offline]

[con-bravura.livejournal.com]

Wasn't a cure for it back then, was there?

[Because he is.]

[Offline]

[leggierissimo]

They didn't even know the cause of it yet.

[con-bravura.livejournal.com]

That's so stupid.

[fruitcup]

Medicine wasn't nearly as advanced as it is today, you realize.

[Offline] I love that icon.

[con-bravura.livejournal.com]

.. I know. But it's still stupid that you had to die that way.

[Offline] It's so cute~

[leggierissimo]

What sounds better, Neku? Living a life where you're unable to really live, or experiencing an afterlife that allows you to be more than you could ever imagine while alive?

[Offline]

[con-bravura.livejournal.com]

Not so bad to wish for a fulfilling life, is it?

[Offline]

[fruitcup]

And that's what I gained from that death.

[Offline]

[con-bravura.livejournal.com]

How is that fulfilling? You don't have any friends.

[BLUNTLY. But it speaks a lot of how Neku's changed, to suggest that friends are necessary for a fulfilling life.]

[Offline]

[fruitcup]

[... thank you, Neku, master of tact.]

It's fulfilling in its own way.

[Offline]

[con-bravura.livejournal.com]

But you're not the Composer here. What are you gonna do?

[Offline]

[fruitcup]

[Josh is silent for a good half a minute.]

I'll figure something out.

[Offline]

[con-bravura.livejournal.com]

Guess you're stuck being normal like the rest of us.

[Offline]

[leggierissimo]

I suppose so.

[Offline]

[con-bravura.livejournal.com]

No supposing about it.

[Offline]

[leggierissimo]

You sound like you have a suggestion, Neku. Care to share with the class?

[Offline]

[con-bravura.livejournal.com]

Just that you can't cheat the system here like you did in Shibuya.

[Offline]

[leggierissimo]

I'm aware.
