✿ Ninth Bud [strange scribbles/voice]

[With a frustrated sigh, Kaori abandons the poor attempt at communication by scratching the surface of the pen across the whole page, eventually ripping it out. It was stupid to think that just because she was able to write perfectly fine a week ago, she would be able to for a while now that she was back to normal. Things didn't work that way.

So much for trying to be anonymous about this and avoiding talking to people more than she has to, but she still wanted answers to her question anyway. Pausing for a deep breath, she dives right in.]

Is anyone out there lucky enough to have their brother or sister here?

Um... [She can't know for sure of where it happened unless she gets close enough, and the few times she has walked out past sundown since it happened, she'd always found herself shaking after she crossed the bridge near her community building and continued following the river.]

The river near here goes down to a lake, right?

It does. Do you want to go there? [It was getting cooler, but Frey didn't ever mind going down by the rivers or lakes in Luceti.]

I want to go that way, yeah. Can we cross the bridge so that we're on the bank opposite of where I stay? [She distinctly remembers crossing that bridge and the sound of water.]

Sure. [He'll change their course so they're heading in that direction, a bit curious about the directions she is giving but trusting she has something in mind.]

[After that Kaori falls silent, hands clapsed firmly in front of her as she chewed her bottom lip. All those days she was given to think, and none of the ideas she came up with were good enough. So better to just stay silent like she's always been told to.]

[Kaori and silence do not go together, however, and Frey notices.]

....Are you sure you are all right? You are oddly quiet today.....

Am I? [Dammit why does big bro have to know her so well and be so perceptive?]

I'm sorry, I'm just thinking a lot...

Thinking? [Frowning a bit as he looks at her closely.] About....?

About what we talked about the last few days. [And what they are going to be talking to once the reach close enough to where all that trauma happened.]

Is it still not safe to talk of it?

... I'm not sure when it is safe to talk about it. [She doesn't know what Legato is capable of, after all.]

I just... want to get to where it happened first.

Where it happened......? [Where what happened? The worry he's trying to shove to the back of his mind bubbles up once more, different scenarios popping into his head and being discarded. No, he'd wait before jumping to any conclusions.]

[Kaori just nods and keeps walking, becoming all the more nervous the further they went along. That meant that they were pretty close to Building 6 now, didn't it...?]

[They were. Frey won't push her to talk until she's ready though, continuing to walk towards their destination.... wherever that was.]

[And then she suddenly starts speeding up, moving closely along the right side of the community building, breath beginning to quicken just a little. She hadn't been this close to this place since it happened, after all, and the feeling of suddenly losing control of her body was all too vivid in her mind.

Which is why she's beginning to shake uncontrollably.]

Kaori? [He speeds up too, following after her closely with worry clear in the tone of his voice. Something is wrong..... She's acting strange.]

[She's made her way past the building, several yards away from it when she abruptly stops and stands still, eyes staring blankly without seeing to the uninhabited forest. He hadn't even been close by and yet he still managed to grab hold of her, forcing him further into that forest.

Had no one really heard her cry out for help that night, when that man had decided to use her for his own personal vendetta against someone she still cares for as strongly to this day?]

Kaori? What's wrong......? [cautiously, he reaches out and places a hand on her shoulder, trying not to startle her.]

[Despite all of Frey's effort, that touch of his hand on her shoulder is enough to make her jump furiously and make the shaking start all over again, this time without even bothering to try and put a stop to it.]

This... this is where he decided to use me...

[use her?

The words send a chill of fear and then a sharp rush of rage through him, but he tries to stay calm to try and talk to her. His voice is soft in an attempt to calm her, but he can't keep how upset he is from showing.] who, Kaori? What happened?

I wasn't even doing anything, just walking and then suddenly... [It seems she couldn't quite hear Frey as those questions began to stir again. Why did it have to be her? While she doesn't regret being Vash's friend, why did it have to be her?]

Maybe nobody heard or saw because of the rain...?

.......Kaori.....? [Can she not hear him? gritting his teeth, he listens to her words, still trying to see if there's any recognition of his voice at all.]

[Gasping, Kaori looks back to Frey, though the look in her eyes convey just how emotional she's becoming as she remembers that night. ]

I'm sorry...

[Finally, eye contact. That relieves his worry, a little.] There is no need to apologize. Just try to keep yourself in the now, alright?

What happened, exactly? Who did this?

[Where can I find them so they never do it again?]

... Legato... [When had she ever spoken his name out loud?] He... he wanted to hurt Vash, but he didn't do anything... Then one day I guess he decided he... was tired of acting good anymore...
