[surprisingly shrill when he screams] GINKO!

[and he tries to shield him, he really does, but what good does it do? Really? And what is even happening?!]

Why?! Why are you still trying?! STOP! STOP IT!

[ Mercifully, the memory cuts out after the first couple stones. But Ahito comes back to reality with the sense that it took quite a long time for the villagers to finally knock Ginko out.

... there's also a pair of strong hands on his shoulders, shaking him gently. ]

Ahito?

[he is FREAKING OUT]

Ginko! Ginko why did you do that?! What were you thinking?!

Re: [ thusia memories ]

[nagaremono]

[ okay pulling him into a hug then :( holding him close, his voice soothing. ]

... Ahito, I'm right here. I haven't done anything.

Re: [ thusia memories ]

[iflookscould]

I saw it. How you died.

You're an idiot. How could you do that?

Re: [ thusia memories ]

[nagaremono]

[ his eyes widen ]

You - what do you mean?

Re: [ thusia memories ]

[iflookscould]

[...presses the package into his hands shakily]

Re: [ thusia memories ]

[nagaremono]

[ there's a long moment of his eyes glazing over before he comes back to himself with a gasp. ]

-- you saw all of that.

Re: [ thusia memories ]

[iflookscould]

I could barely recognize you!

Re: [ thusia memories ]

[nagaremono]

[ silent for a moment ]

I had to take a chance.

Re: [ thusia memories ]

[iflookscould]

[just shakes his head no, trembling]

Re: [ thusia memories ]

[nagaremono]

[ hugs him close ]

I had to. Even though you were too far gone, any suffering I could ease would have been worth it.

Re: [ thusia memories ]

[iflookscould]

You could have lived and found a way to be happy.

Re: [ thusia memories ]

[nagaremono]

Ahito.

Re: [ thusia memories ]

[iflookscould]

Don't.

Re: [ thusia memories ]

[nagaremono]

I don't regret my choice.

Re: [ thusia memories ]

[iflookscould]

Idiot....

[starting to calm down from his little fit at least though]

Re: [ thusia memories ]

[nagaremono]

...

I'm sorry you had to see that.

Re: [ thusia memories ]

[iflookscould]

I don't remember that happening....

I. I don't remember....

Re: [ thusia memories ]

[nagaremono]

... what do you mean?

Re: [ thusia memories ]

[iflookscould]

I don't remember how I died. That's what I'm missing.

Re: [ thusia memories ]

[nagaremono]

[ jolts a bit ]

I'd forgotten before you handed it back to me.

Re: [ thusia memories ]

[iflookscould]

[looks at the objects on the floor uncertainly....

altho he manages to not notice this lil sweet treat off to the side. That girl had gotten that for him, hadn't she...]

Re: [ thusia memories ]

[nagaremono]

[ ... cautiously reaches out to take it ]

Ahito?

Re: [ thusia memories ]

[iflookscould]

[he glances over but before he can say a word--it's that familiar inn again.

It's late at night and some commotion has managed to rouse Ahito from his sleep. It's not a comfortable feeling to share, feeling what Ahitop feels. The world has a blurry quality to it, it's a little too warm. Groggy, confused. still weak from using his power...and then a spike of terror as someone grabs him, wrenching him up from where he was on the floor and starting to drag him from the room. The panic in his voice when he calls for Ginko is obvious]
