STUFF WILL GO HERE ONE DAY

[ "Then don't die."

The pad of paper and pen disappear into what may just be invisible pockets, and there's a soft thud of something hitting the ground in that corner. ]

[purrtagonist]

[. . . . . . . . .]

[kind of moves towards where he heard the thudding noise, trying to crouch down next to it]

Hey. . .

. . . I need to tell you something.

[resortghosts]

[ A hand reaches out to touch the back of his, lightly. He's here. ]

[purrtagonist]

I spoke to Ichigo right after the trial.

He said he's going to buy us some time. I offered to help him, but he didn't answer me.

He might try to do something stupid. I need the people on that side to look out for him.

[resortghosts]

[ There's a significant pause before the pad of stickies come out again. His writing is small this time, to conserve them.

"I'll tell the others." ]

[purrtagonist]

Thanks.

If he does anything, it'll be on Sunday evening. I don't know what he's planning, but. . .

If he's trying to buy us time, he might be trying to make it to the brain.

[resortghosts]

[ "Okay. I'm sure there's a lot of people who will help watch." ]

[purrtagonist]

I don't think. . . you should necessarily stop him.

But try to go with him, if you can.

[resortghosts]

[ "Yeah. A lot of them are fighters, too, so they might be able to keep up better. Our group wasn't really good for that until now." ]

[purrtagonist]

. . . whatever you do, be careful. Okay?

[resortghosts]

[ "I can't fight, so if it's anything like that, I'll stay out of it. I'd just be in the way. I'll tell everyone else to be careful, too." ]

[purrtagonist]

Thanks, Yoshi.

For everything.

[resortghosts]

[ The paper droops in the air a bit before he moves it to write on it again.

"I wanted to help so much more, but in the end, this is as much as I can do." ]

[purrtagonist]

Stop underestimating how important the help you've given to us has been.

This isn't nothing. You aren't nothing.

[resortghosts]

[ "Even when I try to help, I keep messing up. I wanted to be more useful." ]

[purrtagonist]

Why do you keep saying that you're messing up? I haven't seen any of that yet.

[resortghosts]

[ "I was the one holding Makoto back. But I let her go when Ellie volunteered and I couldn't get back up again." ]

[purrtagonist]

. . . don't.

Makoto's volunteering was my fault. Not yours.

[resortghosts]

[ "I tried talking to her about it, too! But... She was really determined. I couldn't talk her out of it..." ]
