[ of course she goes to see him. How can she not? She's the one who'd said they were a team, and she meant it. Her feelings are tumultuous at best, but that doesn't mean she's about to leave him alone. ]

Virid... [ it still feels surreal. she comes up to the barrier, eyes sad. ] Are you all right back there?

[favourable]

[...

he lets out a scoff.]

You're still asking that?

[he's a murderer. he knows what they must think of him.]

[bisouled]

Of course I am. I'm worried about you.

[ she brings a hand to her chest. ]

I'm on your side, remember?

[favourable]

As if. No one ever is.

[bisouled]

That's not true. I'm here because I want to know your side of the story, too.

[ she can't forgive him for what he did to Pikachu, but she's sure there has to be some reason for what's happened. ]

[favourable]

That doesn't change the fact that I'm probably dying tomorrow.

[bisouled]

...

[ she casts her gaze down. ]

I know it doesn't. [ she told him it would be okay at the start of trial - she never imagined it would end up like this. ] I'm sorry. I don't know if I can save you.

[favourable]

I'm not expecting to be saved. I'm probably already dead, anyway.

[bisouled]

... Already dead? What do you mean, Virid?

[favourable]

I mean that I was probably killed even before I arrived here. So, I guess it doesn't really change anything if I die again tomorrow.

[bisouled]

[ is that even possible? The dead don't come back to life... although, as the thought crosses her mind, she realizes she's living proof that they can. ]

It does change something. You don't deserve to die, no matter what you did. This isn't right. [ she shakes her head. ] All the more so if you're already dead. This should be your second chance.

[favourable]

[virid smirks, devoid of any humour.]

Not deserving to die didn't stop the first time, apparently.

[bisouled]

... No one ever does. That's just the truth. I'm sure you know that, too.

[ he doesn't - and neither did Pikachu or Hajime. ]

If I tell you something, will you keep it a secret?

[favourable]

[a little confused now?]

What?

[bisouled]

I already died once, too. And I haven't got much longer on my second chance, either. Maybe a few weeks.

[ she doesn't know how long she'll last without Meyneth keeping her afloat. ]

So... I know how you feel. A little bit, at least. It's really scary, and it hurts. [ ... ] ... I won't let you suffer alone. It's too hard.

[favourable]

[he looks surprised by her confession, before he looks away.]

... It doesn't matter. I've always been alone.

[bisouled]

Then you won't be for tonight. That's the least I can do.

[ now she's wishing she'd gotten to know him better over the course of this week - they're roommates, for crying out loud. She'd never imagined their time together would be this short. Fiora leans on the customer service desk, resting her head in her hands. ]

You know you're the first roommate I've ever had? Alphonse, too, of course, but I met you first.
