For someone like him, it's probably kinder than if he had to do it, right? Ah, though I won't discount it's unlucky that he was chosen in the first place.
Maybe. Honestly, the offer was pretty suspicious, so I can see why you’d think only someone desperate would take it... But it could have been someone too naive to realize how strange the offer was, right?
[not that the difference makes it much better. ugh.]
There's that. Though, I don't think any of us are naïve enough to— oh. Wait. No, never mind. Just thought of someone who fits the bill. Ignore what I said.
[Pausing to gaze into the distance... Who is she dragging in her head. A mystery.]
... Huh. That's something no one has asked me. You're always, you know, so strong and independent. What made someone like you take a deal you thought was shady? We can trade stories about our questionable decision making.
Well, I am strong and independent, you're not wrong.
[She hesitates for a moment - not because she minds talking about this, but because she's not sure how much she wants to bring the mood down. Not that it's very high to start with! But, given the request...]
Even a strong woman like me can't bring someone back from the dead without help, though. [A beat, before:] And you?

w2, sunday.
...Someone told me he killed himself. Is that right?
[since she dipped out like an asshole.]

She goes to sit down with her, nodding.]
Yeah. Watching a man commit suicide is... not something I planned, or wanted, to cross off my list. Like, ever. [A looong sigh.] Poor Omi.

[She sighs.]
Not that it's any of my business who they decided to bring, but it's annoying that there are soft people here, isn't it?
no subject
I think it's sad, actually. They must have been desperate enough to accept a deal like this, but... now I wish they hadn't.
no subject
[not that the difference makes it much better. ugh.]
What were you so desperate for, then?

[She pauses for a moment, caught off guard. When she resumes, her tone significantly softer.]
Actually... Same?

Ahh, that's a shame. Who did you lose?
no subject
[Punctuated by a little shrug like, yeah. That's a thing.]
We talked about it before, but... I can't. [A sigh, and unlike Endorsi, her expression is blatantly sympathetic.] What about you? Who were they?
no subject
I'm sorry.
[Before she moves on.]
I guess you could call him a friend.

[Endorsi, your canon relationships...]

[She says, about this boy she apparently dropped everything and accepted an incredibly sketchy detail to save. It's fine.]

[Gently, teasing? Endorsi, please.]
no subject
...He was different, I guess. Not that being different ended very well for him.

I know you don't want to discuss it too much, but - you, too, with your husband.

Thanks. That's sweet of you.
