Let’s Play a Game of Life or Death~!

“Once upon a time, there was a school where individuals with the Ultimate skills gathered to be with other individuals like them. They could use their skills to better the world! 

However, there was one individual who felt that was too boring and they could get a group of people to use their talents to destroy the world that wasn’t good enough for them~ 

But these party-pooper Hope-doers called the Future Foundation tried to stop them. 

To prove a point, the Mastermind trapped part of the despair group with their former classmates and erased their memories, only to put them in a special type of killing game where the Future Foundation could see Hope’s Peak Despair…”

“Unfortunately, the Mastermind’s plan backfired, and his former Despair cronies woke up filled with Hope! (yuck)

These former members tracked down the remaining Despair XI and put them in a similar virtual environment hoping to rehabilitate them with other worrisome students. If these students could be reminded of Hope, then perhaps the Mastermind could come back also! One of the main leaders of this project hoped…

But her hope was pointless. The Mastermind’s Despair was too strong and he was able to influence the program and turn it into yet another killing game. It was so intense you could say it was Super Peak’s Despair 2…”

“After the project’s failure, 3 out of 21 students woke up traumatized more than ever. Hope had lost, and the Future Foundation’s support faltered.

While the results were grim, the death of the remaining DXI members and their Mastermind made it so the world could finally return to normal… or could it? Hue hue hue~

Many years passed, and the world still struggled to return to normal. DXI’s influence on the world had spread it’s despair too deep and it was up to the few remaining Future Foundation members to fix it. Just as it seemed things were starting to become under control, previous Future Foundation members were found dead left and right.

But who could be behind it?

Why that’ll be me~ Hue hue hue… Now it’s MY turn to play the game~ And it’ll be Fantastic~! Wonderful~! … Ultimate~

Ultimate Peak’s Despair 3!”

Aiko | Execution Reaction | Closed for Hideo

[silkenflight]

It’s hard to find the words, to know what to say, probably because there isn’t anything he can say to fix all of this. They may be in a Harry Potter simulation, but there are no magic words or spells that could make this better… at least, not that he has. The best he can do is give her some hope for when they get out again, and keep on hugging her.

“Ah, that’s because…” Hideo takes a moment to interpret the muffled words, but doesn’t try to pull back from the hug. He has to use logic, if he wants to help her believe it, doesn’t he? The explanation he’d given Tanja before made sense, and it seemed to help, so he does his best to remember that reasoning. “Well, I-I mean, these aren’t our real bodies, they’re just… part of the game. A-and um, the ghosts are like our minds… I mean, if they’re still around, even as ghosts, it means that their minds are intact, and since their bodies are fine in the real world… That means when we find a way out of here, it’ll all be okay again, right?”

Not bad, though come on Hideo don’t finish with a question like that, be more assertive! Yeah, like that’ll ever happen.

[shslmatchmakerqueen-blog]

Aiko listened to Hideo’s gentle voice explain the situation to her, still hugging him closely. What he was saying made sense. The ghosts were fully functioning and still had memories in tact. They still were the people that were previously alive, just recoded to be ghosts.

Her tears had lessened and the sobbing stopped. She pulled back a bit to look up at Hideo’s face as he finishes his reasoning with a question. Asking her if she believed him. His thinking matched how hers used to be. Maybe it was good to have this reminder? He still thought it was possible. So why should she doubt it? She sniffled a bit and nodded her head, agreeing with him.

“I-It makes sense...” Aiko said shakily. She looked at his face, tears were running down his eyes; he was so empathetic she wasn’t surprised. She felt bad for making him cry now, having to take care of her. But she was also really thankful. “S-So... If I find Rex’s ghost... he should be okay?” She asked. She had noticed some ghosts hadn’t shown up yet like Tropi-co-san’s. It was too soon possibly for Akemi-san or Rex’s ghosts to appear, but she knew she would have to search for them.

She's a Killer Queen... | Aiko & Seth | Closed

[sonderiiiism-deactivated2022010]

Was she packing her stuff now? He kind of expected her to do that. Everyone should just stay away from him. Hey…maybe everyone would leave soon and would move to another house. That way, he would finally feel completely isolated. That was something he wanted….right?

Once he heard her question he didn’t turn around. He really didn’t wanted to face her. But…she did deserve an answer. That was the least thing he could do for her.

“….It…was an accident. I was playing with a hippogriff in the forbidden forest…I must admit, during that time I felt…paranoid and very anxious. I was thinking about my sister, my band mates and my family. What if I would never see them again? What happens to me if I die? I just felt so scared and confused….and then..she suddenly appeared.

 I don’t know why she was in that forest….I think something or someone may have chased here in there? Either way I….felt startled and….p-panicked which m-made the hippogriff f-freak out as well….and then it…attacked her. I don’t really know what happened afterwards..

I-I remember a lot of screaming and blood…I-I just lost it and had no idea what to do…b-but at some point I managed to calm myself and then the hippogriff down…I-I knelt d-down next to her….I wanted to comfort her since she looked so scared…

I-I wanted to make her smile one last time. I-I’m s-sorry,….I-I didn’t mean to kill her..I fucked up….I-I’m a bad person. I can’t…g-go home either…m-my sister w-would hate me…..I-I can’t stay here and I can’t go home….I wish…t-that I would have d-died…and I still…w-want to die. I mean….i-it would make everyone h-happy…..right? ““

Now he was just crying. It was a good thing that he wasn’t facing her, or else she would see him crying. He didn’t wanted her pity. He was actually hoping that she would hurt him more. After all, that’s what he deserved.

[shslmatchmakerqueen-blog]

So it was an accident. Aiko had guessed right. And now he was responsible for two deaths because of it. One was a harmless mistake, not able to control the animal properly to prevent it from killing Akemi, and not being about to confess and accept the punishment in this game and killing Rex.

Aiko couldn’t completely forgive him, but she did regret hurting him. He was already hurting enough being responsible for two deaths. She really didn’t want to bother with him anymore either.

“At this point it doesn’t matter if you die or not. What’s done is done.” She curtly stated. Even if he dies it’s not going to bring Rex and Akemi back. At least, back to the “live” status in this game. It is still a game right? Aiko was still debating it, though she wanted to believe in Hideo’s reasoning.

His sister would hate him, just like she felt like Rex would be upset with her. Though, emotions make people do strange things sometimes. By Akemi’s peaceful expression it was clear he never meant to hurt her. But Aiko couldn’t forgive him for not taking responsibility, for letting Rex die in his place.

“Just live with it. And pray that this is only just a game.” Aiko’s words were dull but still slightly laced with anger. Finally done with her “justice” and already feeling numb and slightly guilty, she dragged her trunk out of the Hufflepuff commons and left Seth behind laying on the floor.

Love IS War | Aiko & Remy | Closed

[shslstreetfighting]

Remy, for her part, is slightly better. Slightly. She’s got books under her arms. The Library paid off.. a lil bit. Maybe not as much as she’d hoped. These books weren’t much. So ain’t it strange to find Miss Aiko, prim an proper… Not?

Stick your books under one arm, use your spare hand to lift up the back end of Aiko’s trunk. Its light to you, but probably ain’t to you.

“No body in there, guess you here for drinks an somewheres far away from the yellow house, huh?”

Remy’s not smiling, just stating facts.

“I’ll putcha up with me, away from Miss Superstituous and Miss Stupid”

[shslmatchmakerqueen-blog]

Aiko was relieved to find Remy finally. Was she carrying books? That’s right, the library opened. Normally, Aiko would’ve been all for exploring and searching for a good romance novel to read but not now. Definitely not now.

She wanted to protest when Remy grabbed her trunk, but she knew Remy wouldn’t let her take it back. Besides, it was pretty heavy. She just nodded her head when she asked about leaving Hufflepuff. “Yeah, I can’t stand the sight of him in there. And it’s depressing with Tanja-san too. I don’t have anything against Hideo-san and Chouko-san but I need to leave.”

When Remy automatically offered her to stay with her in the Slytherin dorm she felt relieved. “Thanks, Remy-san.” That was the most positive sounding statement she’s said all day. But still no smile was on her face.

She followed Remy into the Slytherin dorm after learning the password. It was good to drop off their stuff before they went to get drinks.

[thedespairexperience]

Love IS War | Aiko & Remy | Closed

[shslstreetfighting]

Remy isn’t smiling. Her face is not angry. Her face is very calm, very cold. Oh but the fire in her eyes, the terrible urge to hurt and desire to destroy. Empathy and Wrath make strange bedfellows in Remy’s soul. And the words that come from her mouth are laced with violent intent and drive.

“[Hell Hath No Fury Like a Woman Scored]”

She holds her finger up in front of her face, not to shush Aiko, more of a teacherly motion. Remy looks down at her ‘pupil’ and continues her wisdom

“We been scored girl. We let somebody have our hearts an then… somebody we don’t even know come an take ours from us. That ain’t right. That ain’t fair. We get to be angry. We get to be the fury! We get to hold a motherfucker down an pound 'em til we feel better!”

Remy sweeps her hands and grits her teeth, a wild woman waiting for an excuse to explode on somebody, trying to impress on Aiko the 'proper’ way to express such feelings.

“Thas wrath! Our wrath! The wrath of a girl who ain’t got somebody to hold her no more! So you hurt 'em! You don’t let that wrath eatcha up! You let it out! You punish 'em til you feel better!”

Remy curls over on herself, her hands making a strangling motio as she pictures the object of her hatred. That fucker who took her away and she can’t hurt him.

“An… an when you done.”

She talks quietly now, her tone normal instead of wrathful.

“When you done, you come find me. I’ll help you hide a body or take ya for drinks. Maybe both.”

[shslmatchmakerqueen-blog]

Aiko felt oddly uplifted by Remy’s motivational speech. Aiko was scorned. Rex had done absolutely nothing wrong. Seth should have confessed when she pressed him. Instead he lied and said it wasn’t him. 

But the facts were there. That glass? His glasses. A person who loved animals? Seth. A person who would bother comforting someone before they died? Seth. The only person who kept denying evidence that lead to him was legit? Seth.

It made her blood boil thinking back on it. He lied. Cried to covince the others it wasn’t him. He never confessed. Allowed someone to die in his place. 

He could have confessed after the votes and tried to take responsibility right? Could have said, no I deserve the execution not him!

Aiko nodded her head at Remy as she headed towards the Hufflepuff commons area where she was sure she would find him.

-----------------------------Time Skip to After the Confrontation----------------------

Aiko felt numb. She dragged her suitcase and belongings with her out of the Hufflepuff portal but realized, she still needed to find Remy. Great. Where to look? She began wandering the area dragging her trunk behind her with her cat following closely behind and still hugging her T-Rex plushie.

[thedespairexperience]

Paying Respects | Aiko & Tanja | Closed

[shslsisters-blog]

Tanja hadn’t seen Akemi’s ghost either despite spending the time that she wasn’t already spending crying and yelling at those responsible for yesterday trying to find her. Even if it wasn’t all of Akemi it was something, that’s really all she wanted, something, anything really, for now her smile and her laugh should be enough.

After a while she ended up just sitting down in the grass, having grown incredibly tired. She was more than used to being up and about all day but really even for her this was growing a little ridiculous. With a sigh she started playing with the grass around her, trying to hold back her sobs.

Suddenly though someone else was there, she was the girl from the trial right? Aiko? Seeing her only made Tanja feel so much worse, she understood how she must feel.

“Aiko…is it…?”

[shslmatchmakerqueen-blog]

Aiko had been intensely focused on cutting the perfect blooms when her name was called. Snapping back to being aware of her surroundings she looked over to see Tanja. Ah, someone who was probably hurting as much as her. Tanja and Akemi had been really close friends. She had punched Remy to defend her and... got that broken arm in return.

“Yes, that’s right.” Aiko replied with a stoic face. She hadn’t smiled since the trial, she couldn’t. “And you’re Tanja-san. I’m sorry we failed avenging Akemi’s death... I know she was a dear friend of yours...” She stated simply as she looked down at the flowers she had now. She still felt responsible for that trial. She had figured it out but she just... didn’t figure it out in time.

Cinderella Girls || Popiko || Chapter 4 || Closed for Aiko

[shslmatchmakerqueen-blog]

sshslpopiko:

Maybe the other dorms had all those things, but this dorm had Popiko. You definitely don’t want to sleep anywhere near her. She’ll probably pull the ‘dip your hand in a bowl of warm water’ trick.

With her toad perched on her shoulder, Popiko took a few steps forward, sitting on the foot of the bed and twiddling her thumbs for a moment before turning to Aiko. Popiko looked tired, bags under her eyes and slouched posture. How unusual on a girl like her!

“So, uh… I’m sorry. About your boyfriend. I’m sorry I didn’t vote… I should have done so.”

She may as well try to improve herself, she’d figured after spending some time with Hideo. Holy shit, he brought out the ‘actual decent human being’ part of her, didn’t he?

“… You have a cute cat.”

Okay, this is some weak as hell comforting, but it’s her first time doing something like this, so she’s trying her best. 

Another person who confessed they didn’t vote for the right person. To be honest, Aiko didn’t get her vote in time either so she was just as guilty. She couldn’t hold the others too responsible for that fact, although it still hurt.

Aiko still lay there hugging the stuffed animal. Kokoro, who had lay down beside her walked over to Popiko cautiously. Mainly she was eyeing her toad wanting to maybe play with it.

Aiko didn’t look at her, she was in a weird mood. But after more silence she replied again. “It’s alright... It’s just unluckiness.” Her voice was emotionless and hoarse. When she complimented the cat, she sighed. “Yeah, she’s cute.” More silence. Aiko wasn’t really in the mood to talk, but she wasn’t going to not respond. Popiko was quite unlucky herself to be talking to Aiko like this, normally she would’ve been a lot more friendlier and responsive.

[thedespairexperience]

Aiko | Execution Reaction | Closed for Hideo

[silkenflight]

He knew she wasn’t going to take it well. He’d known that, tried to brace himself for it. Who the hell wouldn’t be upset at news like this? But it still feels like a slap in the face when she accuses him of lying. He wouldn’t, he couldn’t, he’d never. The very idea of someone doing something like this as a joke or a prank is appalling. This isn’t funny, by any stretch of the imagination.

Aiko grabs his arms, jolting him out of his moment of shock, “I-I know,” Hideo stumbles over the words, the wild, frantic look in her eyes scaring him into a rougher dialect, though his tone is no less soft. “I know he didn’t, but nobody knew who… did… I-I mean, it ain’t like the last trials, nobody confessed and I think p-people weren’t sure, I mean, I know I wasn’t a-and I guess some got distracted or somethin’ and…” He really can’t fully explain exactly what had gone on with the voting, he only knows his own reasons, which seem pathetic and useless now in the face of her certainty.

“I-I’m so sorry, Tsukino-san.” The tears are coming out now, but she’s standing now, running for the door and Hideo shoots to his feet and, moving awkwardly as he tries to process the situation, follows after her. It isn’t hard to catch up, even with his emotions making him clumsy. Then she looks up at him like that, begs him to… to lie to her? No, she wants him to tell the truth, she just wants the truth to be different. And so does he.

But it’s not.

Still trying not to cry- well, not more than he already is at this point- Hideo takes Aiko’s shoulders and gently pulls her into another embrace. “H-he ain’t gone. Not really. I-it’s not real, you know? When we… when we get outta here, wake up from the game, he’s gonna be there… it ain’t real.” It isn’t, it’s just a game, Rex is fine, they’re all fine- maybe traumatized, but not really hurt. It’s all just happening in their heads, like an especially vivid nightmare. Everyone is still alive… he has to believe that. He has to.

[shslmatchmakerqueen-blog]

When Hideo hugs her she freezes, trying to comprehend the reality of this situation. The tears that were welling up slowly start coming out as she fully processes that Rex is dead. 

She listens to him. To how he tries to reassure her this is just virtual reality and they will be fine. But why did it feel so real? Why was she starting to doubt this concept she kept using as an excuse to run a fun event?

“Hideo-san...” Her voice was weak as she started to come back to the room they were in and out of her thoughts. The tears began to flow more heavily as she finally hugs him back and just... cries. She felt bad crying so much in front of him but it was the only thing she could do right now. She was thankful he was there for her. Although, she still feels lost.

“H-How can you b-be so sure?” Aiko asked him slightly muffled as she had her face buried in his torso.. She had been so sure that Seth was guilty and people would vote for him. Look how that turned out. She wanted to believe him but it was hard to have faith at this moment. 

[thedespairexperience]

She's a Killer Queen... | Aiko & Seth | Closed

[sonderiiiism-deactivated2022010]

He did feel rather startled when she thew a blanket over him, followed by his pillow. Actually, while she was gone he almost fell asleep. To be honest he didn’t even wanted to take care of his wounds but after she threw the bag full of ice next to him it seems that he had no choice.

Without saying anything he just did what she told him to. Seth was actually rather scared of her so he definitely wouldn’t disobey her any time soon. To be honest, this felt like middle school all over again. But maybe that was just his opinion on the situation.

Seth didn’t even look at her and just turned around so that he wouldn’t have to face her. Eye contact was something he definitely couldn’t keep up for too long. He just didn’t wanted to.

[shslmatchmakerqueen-blog]

Aiko just felt frustrated. And guilty. What had she just done? Was it really right for her to have hurt him like that? Sure she was upset and he screwed up but it just... Aiko shook her head as she looked at him and the colors he wore. Hufflepuff. There’s no way she could stay in here. She needed to get out.

She went over to her bed and started gathering her supplies and putting them in her trunk. She had to move dorms she couldn’t stay in Hufflepuff now. But where would she go? She couldn’t bare seeing Rex’s empty bed... even if she did long to smell his scent. But it was too sad, she couldn’t do that. And after seeing Ayame before she knew she couldn’t stay in Ravenclaw. She would be too jealous of her friend and she didn’t want that. Remy. That’s right, she could stay in Slytherin! She already felt bad after beating up Seth like that. 

As she finished putting her things in her trunk she looked at the dinosaur plushie on her bed. Rex. ‘I’m so sorry, Rex... You’re probably so disappointed in me right now...’ She thought about what she did. It was all wrong. She looked at the boy laying on the floor and she had to ask him.

“What really happened? With you and Akemi?” She had to hear the confession. She wouldn’t leave until she heard the truth from his lips. The truth that should’ve come out during the trial.

[thedespairexperience]

Love IS War | Aiko & Remy | Closed

[shslstreetfighting]

Remy doesn’t dodge, its a surpise, isn’t it? But what’s more of a surprise is when Aiko’s fist slams into the hard bone of Remy’s elbow. The fighter barely grimaces as she looks down at the matchmaker

“An thas a block. Yeah? You gettin the basics here”

Remy eases out of her stance gently, then stretching and yawning as she thinks more and more. There are dirty tricks, there are brutal thoughts, there’s years and years of bloodshed to be learned…

“…You oughta be fine. Seth ain’t nuthin”

[shslmatchmakerqueen-blog]

Aiko was surprised to meet Remy’s arm but also relieved because she didn’t want to hurt her. She only wanted to hurt Seth. Make him pay for not taking responsibility for his reckless actions. She was slightly panting after getting a little worked up.

She was ready. Remy confirmed it.

“Thank you so much, Remy-san.” Aiko said bowing towards the taller girl. Her head was buzzing with anger and grief and she really did just want to lash out at something. She was starting to walk away when she hesitated for a moment...

“Is this... alright?” Minor doubts, Aiko had never hurt anyone before.

But now. It didn’t help she had seen Ayame earlier either, that jealousy may have also been fueling her. But reliving the reality that Rex was dead with Hideo and just feeling unable to bring justice, she felt she had to do this. In her mind Seth killed Rex. 

“I’ve never... been this angry before.” It’s true, Aiko was on edge and was she starting to shake a little in anticipation? But she needed to go, why was she still talking to Remy? She already asked the questions so it’s fair to wait for the answers.

[thedespairexperience]

Paying Respects | Aiko & Tanja | Closed

Another day had passed and still no sign of Rex’s ghost. Perhaps his soul wasn’t resting easy? Maybe he needed a memorial? Aiko had the crazy idea to travel into the Forbidden Forest to create a grave for Rex. Should she be killed along the way by a dangerous creature then that was her fate, but it was something she was willing to risk. 

She remembered seeing flowers in the inner courtyard. So there she ventured after getting sheers from one of the herbology classrooms. She walked over to a particularly pretty looking bunch of flowers and began to start clipping her favorite blooms.

Out of the corner of her eye she noticed another classmate in the distance. But she didn’t really acknowledge them as she focused on picking the best flowers for her bouquet. She had a mission and no one could stop her.

[thedespairexperience]

Aiko | Execution Reaction | Closed for Hideo

[silkenflight]

Something’s wrong. Ironically, the thing that’s wrong is that Aiko is… taking this too well, all of a sudden. Her posture is relaxed, her mood balanced, her expression calm. Very different from the girl who’d screamed herself into unconsciousness back in the trial room. Hideo has a sneaking suspicion, but it isn’t confirmed until she says that… about Seth…

Hideo’s heart sinks and he feels a chill go down his spine. She forgot it…? Or blocked it out? She doesn’t know. She doesn’t know and he’s going to have to tell her.

Deep breaths, Nakano. Take them slowly. He doesn’t want to tell her, doesn’t want to be the one to shatter her world all over again… but she’ll find out. It isn’t as if he can change it, there’s no way to fix it so she never has to know. It’s better to get it over with quickly, isn’t it? Like ripping off a bandaid.

“It… it wasn’t Shiratori-san,” Hideo says finally, after what is actually only a few seconds but feels like years. The words are hard to say, it feels like his throat is trying to close around them. “I-I mean, he wasn’t executed. The… the results, of the voting they… w-were split and…”

It isn’t right, it isn’t right, he hates this, he can’t bear it, he wants to wake up, he wants it all to be a nightmare. Hideo looks down at his hands, stares at his trembling fingers. Please… please…

No. Think of Aiko, this is worse for her. Think of her. Pull yourself together.

Hideo bites his lip and looks up again, meeting her eyes, still fighting back the tears with every ounce of strength he has. “I-I’m so sorry, Tsukino-san. B-but Coleman-san, he… he’s the one… who was executed.”

[shslmatchmakerqueen-blog]

“It wasn’t?” Aiko was confused to hear Seth wasn’t killed. All of he facts pointed to him! It was obvious!

“Rex?” Aiko questioned it. Doubted it. “Rex was... executed?”

So... that wasn’t a nightmare. That was... real. “N-No! It can’t be! You’re lying!” Aiko sat up and looked at Hideo’s face. He was close to tears and looking very sad. No. No. 

“C-Come on Hideo-san... this isn’t funny. Where’s Rex? Wh-where’s my boyfriend?” Yet even as she said it the images flashed in her mind.

She and Rex crying as they embraced.

She grabbed her head. It hurt for some reason. “I don’t... It was Seth!”

Monodore taking Rex’s wand and teleporting him to a lake in the Forbidden Forest.

“Rex didn’t kill Akemi!” She grabbed Hideo’s arms, begging, shaking him. “T-Tie? How? We all voted right?” She stood up suddenly and frantically looked around. Rex should show up any minute and she would punch him for pulling such a mean prank.

Rex being chased by dementors and calling her name.

“Rex! Come out now, Honey... Th-This isn’t funny!” She tried running out in a panic but she was frozen again by the images... the sound of his voice calling her name. “Re...x...” Tears began to well up in her eyes as she began to remember.

“H-Hideo-san pl-please...” She stared at him. Begged him.

She's a Killer Queen... | Aiko & Seth | Closed

[sonderiiiism-deactivated2022010]

He did notice the cat but didn’t really react to it. It didn’t even occur to him that the cat may feel drawn to him because of the fact that he took the class Care for Magical creatures. In fact, he felt like sleeping now. Maybe all of this was just a bad dream? Definitely not but..it didn’t really matter anyway. Seth didn’t really move when he heard Aiko speaking nor did he even think about patting the cat or to save his toad from it.

“…..She shouldn’t. She should avoid me. “

Was the only thing he said before he carefully tried to shove the cat away from him. Seth definitely didn’t wanted affection from anyone or anything right now.

[shslmatchmakerqueen-blog]

More awkward silence. Even when Seth tried to push her cat away, she still nudged him, urging him to get up. Poor Kokoro couldn’t understand what had happened between her owner and this boy. Aiko just lay there staring down and watching, just as dead as Seth.

‘What are you doing? You just beat him up and you’re going to let him lay there like that?’

Aiko wished she could just push her conscience aside, yet looking at her cat that mewed back at her she realized how wrong she had been for letting anger get a hold of her. She sighed as she walked over to his bed and grabbed his blanket and threw it on him. She also grabbed his pillow and threw it by his head.

She was still too angry to give him proper care, but maybe that might help a little... Really he needed ice and bandages. She hadn’t remembered to grab bandages when she was in the infirmary with Hideo earlier, but she knew she could grab ice from the kitchen next door. So she left without a word leaving him on he floor.

Soon she returned with a bag full of ice. She threw it next to Seth. “Here, put that on your face before the swelling gets worse.” She stared down at him with her arms crossed, waiting for him to do as she said.

[thedespairexperience]

Aiko | Execution Reaction | Closed for Hideo

[silkenflight]

How long is Hideo willing to sit by Aiko’s bedside? As long as it takes. He honestly doesn’t know how much time passes- it’s not like he’s wearing a watch- but it feels longer than it probably is. The worst part is… when she starts having the nightmare. He can tell when it happens, when her sleep changes from peaceful to distressed, and Hideo’s shoulders tense with indecision.

He wants to wake her, but would reality be any kinder? After a moment he can’t bear it anymore and squeezes her a hand a little, shifting to gently shake her- but she’s already jolting awake. Rex. She’d called him Rex again. Hideo struggles to keep from tearing up- the last thing she needs to see is him bursting into tears. He manages, barely, to suppress it for now. She’s the one who just lost her boyfriend, if anyone should be crying it’s her, not him. He needs to be strong.

When she says his name Hideo lets out a breath he hadn’t realized he’d been holding. “I, um… I carried you here, up to the Infirmary… y-you passed out, after… what happened,” Hideo glances away, unable to say the words, but he looks back again quickly. “I-I’m sorry, I would’ve brought you back to the dorm but… I wasn’t sure if the teleporter would transport unconscious people. I didn’t want to risk it, um, malfunctioning or something. I-I have a glass of water for you, if you’d like some.”

"After what happened?” Not that Aiko didn’t mind Hideo’s company but why didn’t Rex take care of her? She thankfully took the glass of water and drank it, for some reason her throat was parched and sore. Like she had been screaming or something? When she finished the glass she placed it back on the table and smiled at Hideo.

“Thank you for the water, I needed that.” She began to look around. She actually hadn’t been in the infirmary before, so it was neat to see it. Pretty basic. Maybe she should touch up on her first aid in here some time.

“Seeing that we’re out of the trial I guess Seth was executed. For some reason I can’t remember how he died though... What happened, Hideo-san?”

Her mind blocked out the previous memory. A nagging voice in her head was telling her Rex was dead but she ignored it. There’s no way Rex could be dead! He didn’t kill Akemi.
