💖 FOR THREE ENDINGS OF OUR MUSES | ( CLOSED )↳ good / bad / romantic
good ending..!Yoshiko continues to be cordial towards Saiko and her fervor. The troubling operations are behind them and life began returning to normalcy. Yonebayashi is persistent in her efforts to amuse and slightly distract the healing Washū with games, manga and anime. Mediums Yoshiko has little interest in though entertains the investigator’s efforts, knowing she means well. Her latest venture involves the introduction of the manga, “Bleach.” Yoshiko casually reads its volumes as she finds free time to spare. When Saiko inquires of who her favourite characters are after visiting the quinx doctor for a routine checkup, Yoshiko responds with “Unohara Retsu, Urahara Kisuke, Aizen Sōsuke” and a lengthy, in-depth explanation of each as to why. This was enough to spark an enthusiastic response from Saiko who carried on with her own opinions and delightful theories of the series` events. While these comics aren’t something she’d gravitate to first, Yoshiko notes to herself after Saiko leaves that it’s quite nice to escape for a little while.
bad ending..!The collapse of the CCG’s old regime is horrific to witness for most who’ve been upmost loyal. Yoshiko successfully avoids and leaves the immediate area and prosecution from its remaining, disgruntled employees who’ve uncovered the ugly truth. She reminds herself that she has no other means to live in this ward, at least, in safety and must retreat to another place in secrecy. Yet she does not know where exactly and is deep in thought while walking and wandering sparely - populated streets. There, Yoshiko is surprised to come across Saiko who appears to have been crying. As she looks up to see who is approaching, she jumps to her feet in almost relief. Saiko messily explains how everyone is talking about the Washū being ghouls all along and she doesn’t want to believe them because it sounds like a nightmarish twist she’d read in a drama - action manga. Yoshiko does not confirm or deny. But between them, Saiko can sense the truth. She warily asks why she and her family have done the things they’ve done for so long. Yoshiko’s silence is persistent. She asks again. And again, nothing but a modest lamenting expression from the Washū. She takes a foot forward and Saiko announces that she doesn’t - and will not fight her because she thinks she’s still a good person. The word shocks her and Yoshiko feels the knots in her stomach beginning to twist. She comes closer still, head hung down, in a steady stride until their facing opposite directions, shoulder - to - shoulder.Yoshiko only softly corrects the the investigator, “..I’m not. And neither are you” before passing through, not looking back.
romantic ending..!The two are seen strolling down a street aligned with various shops. Saiko leads a foot ahead while Yoshiko is carrying a few bags full of boxes holding sweets that were cheerily picked out for them taste on camera. She’s started a YouTube channel where she uploads taste testing food videos, reviews of popular shows, daily vlogs and other content. Saiko’s thrilled to finally have convinced Yoshiko to appear in a video with her but is reminded by the Washū that the CCG’s privacy policies prevents her from filming on the main offices’ grounds, the labs and other strictly restricted areas reserved for personnel only. Saiko keeps facing forward, happily humming and reassuring her companion that everything is fine but asks an oddly specific, hypothetical situation that Yoshiko only sighs in tired frustration at. Saiko immediately turns on her heel and rushes for am embrace, bombarding with apologies and questions wondering if Yoshiko is mad. Yoshiko admits her disappointment but confirms she isn’t mad. She then comments that it’s difficult to walk with bags in her hands and the investigator hugging at her waist.
