Well, I know being shot in the head is less painful than being electrocuted. It's the same principle. If I'm going to die, I'd rather be in as little pain as possible.

[shiftingwinds]

But it's not a given that you have to die!

[holeful]

Why do you care so much? Isn't someone like me due whats coming to them?

[shiftingwinds]

I'm a god - caring about people is what I do. I can't change that.

[holeful]

Then what about the people I killed? You could care about them instead.

[shiftingwinds]

It doesn't have to be "instead". It's not like my ability to care is something I'm going to run out of.

[holeful]

Doesn't caring about them require wanting justice for them?

[shiftingwinds]

Why are you so determined to get me to not care about what happens to you?

[holeful]

[Hmmmmmm.]

I think because I like you enough to not want you to feel bad over my death.

And not enough for me to selfishly want you to miss me.

[shiftingwinds]

Well, you're too late to prevent that, on both counts.

[holeful]

[Sighs!!!]

I suppose I'm not surprised. I never really believed in gods before I came here, but I thought if I'd survived, I would've liked to pray to you.

[shiftingwinds]

...

[god, what a mess!]

I'm sorry.

[holeful]

It's not your fault.


But... could I make one selfish request?

[shiftingwinds]

...what is it?

[holeful]

Could I... kiss you? Even if it's just on your hand...

[shiftingwinds]

[



that is not what she was expecting at all]

What? Ah... [...well, if he's going to die... it won't really cost her anything to do this, will it? so she nods once, and scoots forward, closer to the cell's bars.] Alright.

[only per word of mod there's no human contact! so she's not going to be able to get her face close enough for that. after a moment, she puts a hand up to the gap in the bars and... nope, her hand won't pass through, either.]

[holeful]

[Me looking at several others pcs because it didn't even occur to me to ask that: whoops.

Fukuda watches her struggle with the invisible barrier, and then just sort of laughs softly.]

No good, huh? Well, thank you anyway.

[shiftingwinds]

[it's the thought that counts, i guess?

anyway, she looks a little upset that she can't grant his last request.]

...is there anything else that I can do for you?

[holeful]

[He thinks for a moment.]

... Take care of Aoi.

[shiftingwinds]

[she nods, her expression serious]

That, I can definitely do.

[holeful]

Then I'll be happy. If it's you, I know she'll be safe. And if you'll miss me when I'm gone.... I really couldn't ask for more.

[Besides not dying, but hey.]

[shiftingwinds]

...you really think that?

[that he couldn't ask for more, she means?

she'll definitely do everything in her power to keep aoi safe - he's not wrong about that. though i can't be blamed for cola's crimes if she decides to yeet aoi into Death]

[holeful]

The first time, when I drilled the hole in my head, I was all alone.

I'm just glad to have so many reasons to not want to die now.

[shiftingwinds]

[wow this is upsetting]

...then I'm glad we could at least give you that.

[holeful]

[Turns out the man with the hole in his head has a lot of problems!]

Was there anything else you wanted to talk about?
