cw: grief, talk of death, suicidal thoughts, language

[ The feed clicks on to ragged breathing, too close to the Omni ]

Who the hell killed Flynn? Some guy with a light sword. Give me names.

[ Yuri's voice is low and rough, somehow both heated and emotionless. His emotional state has been degrading since Flynn's omen led him to Flynn's corpse. He growls and there's rustling over the Omni ]

If you killed him, be at the Gate at midnight.

[ What Flynn would want him to do. She's right, she's right and he's trying to tamp down on the anger roiling through him. ]

So if it's not him... then I'm back at square one.

Other people have this light sword thing?

[frogfear]

'Light sword' is kind of a vague description. I mean, it absolutely fits Maul's weapon, but that doesn't mean no one else has anything that could be described that way too.

[She hopes she's getting through to him. She thinks maybe she is.]

I guess probably the best way to find out is go to the Gate and talk to people, and see if anyone remembers the fight. Maybe they can give you a better description. Only, hey, maybe don't go alone, okay?

[vibing]

Repede's with me.

[ Repede is a dog but she doesn't have to know that. She's not wrong. She's not wrong, but Yuri doesn't know if he's in the mood to talk to a bunch of people right now. He wants someone to punch, someone to let out this deep, desperate sadness against. ]

Thanks. I'm glad Flynn has a friend like you.

[frogfear]

That's good. Is Repede a friend of yours?

[Hopefully there's someone with him, at least - it doesn't seem like Yuri should be alone right now.]

Well... we're not, you know, super close or anything - I only met him once. But he seemed like a good person. And so do you.

[vibing]

Yeah.

[ He is a friend. Yuri's best friend aside from Flynn. So it isn't exactly a lie ]

He is a good person.

[ Holding on really tight to that present tense ]

...thanks. For talking to me. I'm, I'm going to go. Ask around.

[frogfear]

Just be careful, okay?

[She is not about to correct him on his use of tenses - sometimes you do whatever you have to do to cope.]

Look, Yuri... I've been in your shoes before, I know it's really, really hard. Unspeakably hard. Let me know if there's anything you need help with, okay? Or even if you just need to talk.

[vibing]

[ He wants to rail against that, to say that he's fine, but, well. She's been nice to him. Everyone's been nice to him, and that's damn annoying but also...

Nice. It's really nice. ]

Yeah, thanks. That-- I'm sorry, that you went through this too. It fucking sucks.

[ He sucks in a ragged breath, trying to steady himself ]

Yeh, I'll. Let you know.
