I did it, Papa... I did it It's alright now... [ a pause. and then - high, unsteady giggles. ] H.. hahaha! See, see! It's not so hard, it's not so--

[ coughing. he feels sick. so sick, this can't be- ] Stop looking at me!!

[ smash, smash, smash. snap. splat.

the journal rolls over, showing the grisly sight for all to see. shuri's practically bathed in blood, head thrown back. his foot is slamming down again and again into the remains of his enemy's head.

The laughter is back. Hard, crazed, and desperate- But now, it's mixed with sobs. ]

Look at your journal.

The journal? It's... [ but the journal is... where? not in his pocket. wh-

oh.

he reaches out - then stops, hand trembling visibly once he gets a closer look at the mess on the ground.

... he leaves it where it is. ]

[Sudden silence is bad. Firmly: ] Oak.

It's filthy.

I...

I don't want to touch it!!

[adsfghas] If you just leave it there we won't be able to speak anymore.

[ ... not talk to konatsu?

that's not...

but it's filthy. it's covered in...

shuri blinks, reaching down to pick it up.

then he glances at himself. his gloves aren't white anymore. they're red, like...

blood. he's covered in... ]

[Sigh.] Shuri! What are you wearing?

[ he's too out of it to even be delighted about konatsu saying his name. ] My... my uniform.

Including your jacket?

Yes...

Take it off. Use that to pick up the journal.

But...

[ ... ] Okay... [ and he'll be taking it off, trying hard not to smell the blood off of it. ]

[Okay. Step one achieved.] I don't see anyone else there. did you get separated from the other non-combatants?

No, Mikado's...

[ he's not going to leave this spot, konatsu. that is one thing you're not going to be able to get him to do.

with the journal off, he manages to kneel down and pick up the journal. but here, his shaking legs give out. ]

[Is Konatsu has learned anything about Shuri, it's that if the boy latches on to a person or ideal, he does not let go. If Shuri cares anough about Mikado to introduce him and worry about him at a time like this...]

[Damnit.] Where's Mikado, then?

Here. He's here with me.

Stay near him. Try to take him back to safety.

I don't know where that is.

It's wherever your enemies are least likely to be able to find you, but if you stay where you much longer more of them will come! [So Konatsu assume. No sane military force sends one soldier alone into an area unless they're incredibly skilled.]

... [ by this point, mikado's taking the lead. everything that just happened to him is starting to catch up to him now. ]

[... sigh.] Just stay near Mikado for now, alright?
