At this rate, death seems like it's the better option here.
[Like damn he'd rather be killed overnight instead of corrupting into a weird sad angry goat creature???? It's the mercy of dying as yourself, really - something the both of them know well.]
...But if we can help set more of the refracted's color right again, then. Yeah. Maybe we'll be able to stop something like this from happening again.
[No arguments from him on that one, god. A part of him wants to ask Kashuu to promise him, to swear that he'd do what needed to be done if it ever came about, but--he trusts Kashuu. They know each other so well; it doesn't need to be said.
Instead:]
...I talked to Steel-san and Himawari yesterday. About the trial. I've been wondering if we missed something in Party City that had to do with Chinatsu.
[Like the murder weapon, for instance? He doesn't know, but he knows that he'd been frustrated about not being able to direct people there, even though they... uh... don't need to worry about Malik anymore anyway.
But it's too naive to pretend like they don't know this won't happen again next week, so.]
Himawari and Steel-san both suggested leaving some kind of anonymous note, next time. If it's typed, people won't be able to figure out who wrote it, apparently.
[except they will definitely recognize Yasusada's shitty typos but listen he hasn't thought that far ahead]
[i cant believe anmitsu being anmitsu robbed us of a proper death pact thread i hate it here
He'll just listen as Yasusada explains though, and nod.]
Yeah - makes sense. I wasn't really thinking about that earlier... [Considering his weekend was FULL OF CHAOS from Thursday onward, pretty much.] But that's a good way to get the stuff you see out there to people. You could leave it on the apartment door and in the elevator since pretty much everyone'll see it, then.
[THEY HAD THEIR DEATH PACT IN BAKUTEN except it was just kashuu but listen close enough
Yeah, though, Kashuu's weekend of suffering!!!! Yasusada had, in fact, seriously debated not passing any of this on to give Kashuu a chance to rest, but--he knows his mirror, in the end. It's better like this.]
Oh, that's a good idea. [They aren't Horikawa but together, they can occasionally borrow his half-braincell...] Steel-san recommended the meeting hall, too, so that we'll have it while we're there. Do you want to come with me to make them?
[STOP HIS ONE-SIDED DEATH PACT THAT HE JUST SHOVED ON YASU WHILE YASU WAS BUSY RUNNING AROUND LIKE "OH SHIT ENEMIES AFOOT"
But, well. No one knows him better than his mirror - he's right in his assumptions. He'll nod! Their half a braincell is activated... Hori isn't here to take it back.]
--Yeah, sure. I can help double-check or get it stuck up before anyone shows up or whatever.
Mm. [He knows he doesn't have to tell Yasusada that thanks aren't in order - that he'd help no matter what, whatever it is Yasusada would request of him. After a second, he'll hook their pinkies together.]
...I heard about it yesterday. The refraction. I was gonna tell you today, but, um...
[Softe... and stupide. He shakes his head at that, though.]
Someone else. It was basically just getting a name to what Himawari mentioned weeks ago, though. 'Cuz of Jiuqing's gumball, and how the description said it could be used against cursed and refractions and whatever.
[Oh--well, maybe he would've been more surprised by that a couple of days ago, but. He's pretty sure everyone kind of figured that that was the case...]
[The most hilariously kept secret in the entire game.]
I mean, he's back in his right state of mind, I'm pretty sure. So unless something changes on Monday, something worked, and it's likely that gumball. [...] He also said 9S was trying to protect him, so. I don't think he was refracting, at least.
If what Chang Geng wrote is right, Kazu probably wasn't acting weird at first... So maybe he just figured they both woke up and were being targeted and not, y'know.
I asked Jiuqing about hers and she got orange ones on the weeks she could use Amber. I'd have to check with more people, but that's a pretty strong pattern already.
I think a few people have been keeping lists of what they do, right? [He feels like?? He vaguely heard about this during trial, but he can't say for sure since he hasn't been keeping track either.] Maybe there will be some other useful ones too.

Yasusada reaches over, though, bumping his hand lightly against Kashuu's.]
Thanks.

Do you think we'll find more gumballs, like Su-sensei's?

Probably, yeah. I don't think it's a coincidence that the three-token gold gumballs Chinatsu and I got were both metal manipulation.

Yeah - I'll ask around a little later. Not today...
[Today he just wants to collapse and not think about the fact that Chinatsu is dead and Malik the Lisa Frank Baphomet (Now Deceased) killed her.]
