[The school is empty. The school is quiet. The only sound that cuts through the silence is the soft ticking of the hallway clocks that mark the passing of each second.]

[. . .]

[At least. . . until a stiff breeze whips through the classrooms, scattering dirty papers and jerking the curtains aside. The clock strikes 6:00 a.m.]

[The school bell chimes.]

[laevateinns]

[ they're starting a club!

akechi glances up at her momentarily. ]

Fine. Just wondering about these dolls.

[mogger]

There aren't any dolls here, my guy. Are you seeing things?

[ raising an eyebrow ]

[laevateinns]

[ he raises an eyebrow. ]

Very funny. As if there wasn't enough going on.

[ he rolls his eyes, as if she's so childish!! ]

[mogger]

No, seriously. There aren't any dolls.

[ she looks serious now ]

What happened to you in there anyway?

[laevateinns]

[ akechi frowns twice over. ]

We... [ he remembers the sharp sting of the thread tearing into his skin, the vivid fear as he faded away- the relief-

then he woke up. again. ]

We didn't find the key.

[mogger]

[ awkward ]

.... Well, that sucks.

[ she does say that sympathetically ]

[laevateinns]

[ he ruffles a little. he doesn't need her sympathy!! ]

Well, we're still here. [ he says flatly. ] So...

[mogger]

Sure, but you're seeing dolls pop up around....

[ damb, touchy much? ]

[laevateinns]

[ SUPER TOUCHY. ]

There are worse things to see. [ he tries to blow it off. ] But you really haven't been seeing them... anywhere?

[mogger]

You totally just cursed yourself by saying that, you know that, right?

[ akechi.,.,.,. ]

Nope. You're totally hallucinating, my guy. I'm trying to help.

[laevateinns]

What's one more? [ he asks with a shrug, unconcerned- despite the fact that here, she's probably extra right.

then he laughs. ]

Help? How are you going to help?

[mogger]

[ what a weirdo ]

By pointing out what isn't real, duh! I could also bandage you up, since you obviously got messed up from that.

[laevateinns]

[ the weirdest!!

he blinks at her offer, lips curling. ]

I don't need your pity. [ he says- kneejerk. ]

[mogger]

Pity? Dude, I'm just offering to bandage you. You got some kinda complex or something?

[ but man she is blunt ]

[laevateinns]

Probably. [ akechi answers immediately.

thanks, katsumori. ]

I recognize that it’s not always pity when people offer me help, but I never understand why they’re offering it now when nobody ever did before in my fucking life.

[mogger]

[ is it bad she kind of identifies a little with this ]

Well, I've never met you before. So I've got nothing to do with the assholes you knew before. But I'm offering it now because we're in the same boat, so take it or leave it. It's got nothing to do with pity.

[laevateinns]

[ no it’s perfectly normal and good,, definitely,,

akechi’s eyes narrow. the wheels are practically turning in his head.

if he looks at this logically… he would be better at this if he was patched up. right? ]

…Fine. [ he says, glancing away. ]

[mogger]

[ huffs a little because this is so much work to convince this angry wet cat of a guy to accept basic help ]

[ anyway she tears strips off of her tracksuit ]

Alright, show me where you're hurt.

[ let's get it over with, in other words ]

[laevateinns]

[ it is SO much work. yuffie already has more patience than more.

akechi huffs back, as if out of instinct, before raising his arms. there are scratches there- some light, but some deep enough to still be bleeding. ]

It was the threads. They- [ he pauses as she tears her own suit. ]

Don't do that-

[mogger]

[ she decides that the next person who wants to be difficult about accepting help is just not going to get it ]

What? I don't have anything better to bandage you with, so you're gonna have to deal with the tracksuit. It's clean.

[ she's just making herself a crop top ]

[laevateinns]

[ that's probably for the best!!

but for now akechi is aghast at her ripping up her clothes. ]

That's not what I- look, you don't have to tear your clothes for me. They're just some cuts, they'd have healed on their own. [ a pause, like he can't help himself, ] I've had worse.

[mogger]

It's just clothing I don't even like. I'll find something else.

[ she ignores his protests and once she has the strips, gets to work bandaging the worst of it. it's too late, akechi, you agreed to this and she can't unrip her clothing ]

[laevateinns]

[ he SURE CAN'T... it's too late. he just has to stand there and take it.

he tries to do so as least awkwardly as possible. ]

You should be more wary about throwing away supplies in such a place. [ he scolds anyway. ]

[mogger]

[ she's very good and practiced at this, he might noticed. she's quite efficient as she bandages his arm, the parts that are still bleeding ]

Yeah, yeah. [ waves a hand dismissively when she's done ]

You're welcome.

[laevateinns]

I didn't- [ he wants to be an asshole, tell her he didn't ask for this.

but it's been a long day.

he lets out a breath through his nose. ]

Thank you. [ there, was that so hard?! ]
