There's a Knock on the Door! [Open]

[sawthelockdown]

[Asako is in her dorm room with the door closed, meditating quietly. It's not something she usually does, but...

She needs to think. She has three days before she has to decide, and none of the paths given seem like quite the right thing. Some of the results even seem too painful to bear. Like a good little oraclederp, she is scrying for details.

...Which means people can and SHOULD bother the hell out of her and disrupt her concentration.

Disrupt? Y/N]

...The only thing I can do.

[It looks like the initial rush of giddy Freak Out has worn off, and now she is very solemn.]

Humans can't be trusted - the Keisuke here showed me that. God can't be trusted - what I'm seeing in you showed me that. If humans are allowed full control over demons, they'll abuse it and become monsters in their own right. Escape is out of the question. The power - I don't know what it's called, but it might even be able to save you.

[She closes her eyes and exhales deeply.]

If...if I have to become the world's enemy to keep it from being destroyed, by humans or by others, then so be it.

... I want you to do what you think is right for your situation. Don't let anyone choose for you. Think it over... and then decide.

[He smiles sadly.]

You don't have to do anything for my sake, or for anyone else's. This is your decision, and yours alone.

[sawthelockdown.livejournal.com]

And I've already decided.

I don't want my world to end badly...besides, I never really did fit in with humans...and something about following the law so strictly just - rubs me the wrong way.

... Asako...

[He sits quietly for a moment with his eyes closed, contemplating what she's saying. He understands how she feels, but he's still afraid for her.]

... Please be careful.

[sawthelockdown.livejournal.com]

I will be.

[She smiles.]

Even though I can see the future, that's no excuse for being careless, after all!

[ghostheadphones.livejournal.com]

Exactly.

[He opens his eyes and smiles at her, though it's strained.]

[sawthelockdown.livejournal.com]

...Is something wrong?

[ghostheadphones.livejournal.com]

... I may not be a seer like you, but I can tell that you have a long, difficult fight ahead of you. And you're... really kind, and I don't want you to have to go through that.

[sawthelockdown.livejournal.com]

...I'm not that kind, Akira, but...thanks. Even so, if it's what needs to be done, then...it's what needs to be done.

[ghostheadphones.livejournal.com]

I understand that.

[He just doesn't want to lose another 'different' person like him. :( ]

[Instinctively, she reaches out to put a hand on his shoulder.

...
...
... DERP.]

I'll be careful out there. I promise. Besides, I might not be able to get home for a while anyway, what with all the doors and so on.

[He concentrates for a moment, making his torso solid, and gives her a gentle (if cold) hug.]
