Twelfth Duel [Text/Voice Post, Japanese]

[Filtered from Gateau; Hackable]

[There's a grunt as Utena slams her fist into the ground.] This is bad...

hakai_aniki! The one who shot bardforblood; just who the hell do you think you are?! I don't understand you!

Even if you weren't the one who killed Cube-kun... why did you have to kill him too?! Don't you realize that you're putting his life and others in danger all over again by having them both end up in the hospital together! Idiot!

He could have been captured, or made so he wouldn't be able to hurt anyone else who didn't deserve it. But you--...!

[Her breath hitches, clearly angry and frustrated.] ... You'd better protect him. If you don't, then you're no better than his killer!

President... You don't have to worry about me anymore. You never had to start. This city didn't really suit you anyway.

Seifer, it's getting light enough to see, and I have somewhere where I need to be now. - I have to go.

[[ooc tl;dr Cube's death and Saburo's killing Gateau only had a difference of a few minutes. On top of that, the revived all end up sent in the same place. The hospital. Yeah... Stupid robot brain.]]

H-he didn't...he was just...

[to-blossom.livejournal.com]

Do you know him?

... It's fine. I've said what I needed to.

[latteheart.livejournal.com]

Yes...Saburo is my friend.

[to-blossom.livejournal.com]

Saburo... so that's his name.

I won't. But this never needed to happen... nothing can change that truth.

Blaming him wouldn't change anything about it either.

[Determined] Only it's not over yet. I'm not going to let that man ever try to hurt Cube-kun like that again.

[latteheart.livejournal.com]

M-mm. There has to be something that can be done about it...

[to-blossom.livejournal.com]

...We should just be thankful for the second chances that people are given here. It doesn't need to end on a sad note forever...

We'll figure something out. I know it. Sometimes, fighting doesn't have to be important to a person as simply being there. ...Can't you still do that for Cube-kun?

[latteheart.livejournal.com]

that's right.

...Of course. I will...always be there for Cube. As long he needs me.

[to-blossom.livejournal.com]

Mm.

...He's really lucky to have a friend like you. You seem like a sweet girl.

Ne, what's your name? I don't think we've ever been formally introduced. I'm Utena. Tenjou Utena.

It's nice to meet you.

[latteheart.livejournal.com]

E-eh?

Um! My name is Alpha. I'm...Cube's roommate. It's nice to meet you too, Utena.

[to-blossom.livejournal.com]

Alpha... Ah! That's right. I've heard him mention you before.

Mm. I'm surprised I didn't get around to meeting you sooner, and... [She takes a deep breath, letting out a sigh.] Well... ...I'm sorry if what I said before bothered you that much.

But I still don't like him.

[[ooc Strikes = not there]]

[latteheart.livejournal.com]

Mm...well, it's always nice to meet one of Cube's friends.

Ah, no, it didn't...all that much. Heh, if I'm being honest, I'm not surprised. Saburo isn't exactly...easy to get along with.
