week 3, post WHATEVER THE FUCK THAT TRIAL WAS

[resortghosts]

Hey.
Do you feel up to talking?

LAUGHS

[purrtagonist]

Apparently I won't be going anywhere anytime soon, so. . . yeah.

What's up?

[resortghosts]

Don't do that again.

[purrtagonist]

[. . . . . . there's a lengthy pause before his reply]

It's kind of my role now. Apparently.

[resortghosts]

Then don't use the role.
I'm serious, Akira.
There's nothing good waiting for you down this path you're choosing.

[purrtagonist]

All of the other ghosts keep saying the same thing.

What does it mean?

[resortghosts]

I can't speak for any of the others.
All I know is that you're doing what I used to do. Trying to save others without any regard for your own life.
It doesn't work.

[purrtagonist]

[. . .]

I don't do it blindly. I understand the value of my own life.

Minato was just. . . a special case.

[resortghosts]

You tried to die for me too.

[purrtagonist]

[uh]

You were a special case, too.

[. . . yeah okay his track record is. not great]

[resortghosts]

How many times can you say it's a special case before they stop being special?

[purrtagonist]

. . . point taken.

I guess it takes three times for the lesson to stick.

[resortghosts]

Don't throw your life away, Akira. People care about you.
I care.
And besides, you're needed on that side.

[purrtagonist]

[thunks his head against his tablet for a minute or two before he finally responds]

Everyone believes in me so much.

But I believe in everyone else. I don't know if my presence is strictly needed, but. . .

I'll do my best.

[resortghosts]

I'm sorry for asking more of you when you've already done so much.
But I do believe in you.
I believe in all of us.

[purrtagonist]

Today was a mess, but I believe we can get through this.

I do.

[resortghosts]

Today could have turned out a lot worse than it did.
We just need to figure out how to get rid of the Barghest before the execution tomorrow.

[purrtagonist]

No fire. No drowning.

My guesses are stabbing or the iron maiden.

[resortghosts]

Aren't those basically the same?
And honestly, it seems weird to me that just stabbing would be enough to get rid of a ghost dog.

[purrtagonist]

Yeah. Stabbing might be too mundane. But the iron maiden. . . that feels like overkill.

[resortghosts]

Maybe.
I guess we'll just have to find out.

[purrtagonist]

Yeah.

I guess so.

[resortghosts]

We'll figure it out.
We'll save everyone.
So whatever happens, don't lose hope.


And seriously don't do anything that stupid again.

[purrtagonist]

[oh my god]

I don't have the bomb anymore. I'm officially out of excuses.

[resortghosts]

Listen.
You've pulled enough stupid shit that I have no confidence in you not doing it again.
