Oh. Well, if Soo-won puts it like that, he can't exactly refuse a second time. He takes it almost gingerly before draping it around his shoulders, warmed in the heart by human kindness… The smile he offers in return is a little sheepish, but all the more genuine for it. ]

It sounds like things were just as wild on your side. We woke up in a morgue, right? I still haven't had the chance to ask anyone what that was about.

[ not helped by the fact that thorns had immediately hauled him out of there. as for the actual question soo-won asked? anyway. ]

[recrowns]

[ what happened to my html is this text for ants

but soo-won smiles back, heartened when his offer is taken at least. he'll move to settle down right by elysium.... ]

From what I understand, the embalming process needed to be done on corpses, which ended up being... well... all of you.

[ weird. he frowns. ]

... Yosuke told me some of what happened. We needn't linger on it if you don't wish to... but even so, I'm sorry for what you endured.

[transmit]

[ thanks for making it bite-sized just for me 🥺 ]

Did he? How much did he end up telling you? However any of us feels about what happened, I still think there's value in making sure everyone knows the gist. There's no telling if what happened to us was an exception or if it'll happen again.

[ A soft laugh, before he budges Soo-won with his shoulder. ]

But what's with the apology? Unless you're about to confess you were personally responsible, it's fine.

[recrowns]

He walked me through his experiences, from your altered memories until the end where you found your people dear to you in the glass coffins... [ but he frowns thoughtfully even as elysium laughs, tilting his head ]

Rather than apologizing out of responsibility, I suppose it's out of empathy... It sounds like a harrowing journey. I wish you didn't have to go through it.

[transmit]

[ that is


A lot more information than he was expecting, but it does make sense when you remember it's Yosuke. Oh, Yosuke. ]

Is that how he put it? [ He smiles wryly. ] We did see a lot of people die. Even now, it feels pretty visceral.

[recrowns]

[ yosuke is so generous and also soo-won is that one shitpost that's like 'i'm strangely but friendly so people tell me things' but, ]

People you know too, isn't it...? [ to add insult to injury ] It must be hard to discern what's real and what's false—if any of it is false at all.

[ like idk maybe the au is real somewhere ]

[transmit]

Hard to believe it was considering all the injuries that carried over. As for grounding ourselves back to reality… I think we're all struggling with that, really. It'd be a lie to say I wasn't. But small things do help, as with time.

[ he just


reaches over to gently tug soo-won's cheek. ]

… Easier with some people, harder with others. You're warm.
