Sorta and Yorji visit the RVs | Sora + Yajiro | Closure 4
@noneuclideanlove
Welp, they sure were back at it again for another closer now, after three entire months... Long time, really, but now that it was over it still felt like it went by way too fast anyways. That was usually how looking back on things worked. A paradox if both long and spaced out memories of reality coupled with the condensed version of individual events and gained information snipped out as highlights. It was more digestible and manageable that way anyways, so Yajiro’s wouldn’t complain.
It was interesting that this closure was taking place at a campground though. He had just spent the majority of closure with Fukau, traveling around and doing some camping themselves. He wasn’t about to complain about where they were not. Well, he thinks that it’s hardly ever been the location that’s the problem, as far as he can remember. It’s the motive that gets people to actually go for it. And what a predicament this motive is.
There was something of a moral dilemma to it, which he did find interesting. There was both the question of if these people were actually dying (as he was sure that Boufana COULD fake it even if she wasn’t, what with technology these days), and the question of the fact that these were strangers to them. While hypothetically he knows that no one (or, well, hopefully not most people anyways) would condon mass murders (or murder at all, really, but that was another part of this current problem), there was the fact that actively ending the motive would require being active, not just saying that they are opposed. And that action would end at least one other life of a person they new far better.
But philosophical dilemma’s were for a different (though admittedly only slightly later) time.
NOW, he was wandering around the new closure area, specifically the RV park per the moment, long abandoned by those who had camped here prior. That... was interesting too, in a way. What had happened to the people who’s RVs these were? As Yajiro wanders lost in thought, he almost doesn’t see the other real live person in the area with him until they’re almost next to each other anyways.
“Oh, hey!” He blinks, started for only a moment as he’s taken out of his inner thoughts. Name, name, what was their name... Wait, he sorta remembered! There we go, only took an award lapse of a second or two.
“Hiya Sota-kun! Haven’t actually had the chance to talk to you in like, a long time, right?”
He thinks that they probably haven’t anyways. Hell, it’s a miracle that he managed to drag up his name partially from the recesses of his memory after all. Probably because of Fukai’s nicknaming schemes pounding that part in there, now that he’s said it out loud. Soso-tan, and all. Yeah, that was this kid. Sota. Probably. Yeah... he remembered it sounded like Sorta anyways, so that was probably it. He smiles at him. Nailed it.
