[She opens and closes her mouth wordlessly, far too shocked. It's only when Flayn steps forward that she seems to snap out of it, ducking her head and pressing a hand to her face.]
I— I'm sorry. I'm... I can't get the image of your body out of my head. [Hm.] It's really you? You've really risen as a ghost already?
[It's fine? It's fine. She'll get over it. All she hears is wakawaka, though, so she takes a deep breath before dropping her hand. She is Neena Tanzawa, with clean and immaculate hands. Not Kasane.]
... I can't understand you, Flayn-san. [Quietly.] How do we get around this?
[Should have become a poltergeist, Flayn. Neena furrows her eyebrows, staring at the ground as well. Is this before or after her chat with Anaido? Oh, well.]
If I... write letters on the ground, would that help?
at first i thought i replied with the mod journal when i saw "reply to a comment"................
[It's fine? It's fine. At least Kasane is already dead inside, gently perishing under the weight of her guilt and the knowledge that it might all amount to nothing. That she won't be able to escape a fate worse than death here, or in her home.
She's truly cursed, isn't she? A disgusting existence.
Outwardly, she offers Flayn a look of complete heartbreak, nothing of her guilt reflected in her expression.]
... I ate with you, too. I would never do anything to hurt you, I promise.

w2, post-trial
because wherever you are, flayn is, too. and she looks very, very sad.]
no subject
Kasane goes pale, like she's seen a ghost.
Which she has.
So, guess she's valid in this one (1) instance.]
F-F— [ABSOLUTELY HAUNTED.] Flayn-san?
no subject
Flayn jerks back, a little surprised by... well, just how startled Kasane seems to be. Surely it's no secret that this island is haunted, by now?
Concern wins out over surprise, though, and she steps forward, her brow furrowing.]
Wakawakawaka?

[Flayn stops in her tracks. Kasane seems to frightened...]
...wakawakawaka?
no subject
... I can't understand you, Flayn-san. [Quietly.] How do we get around this?
no subject
She frowns, looking slightly troubled, and looks down at the ground. If only she could write in the sand... but she's not that kind of ghost.]
why did this tag nyoom elsewhere

flayn nods eagerly. neena is so smart, this is why flayn likes her.]
im crying
Crouching down, though, she will write the letters down and stand back up. Looking at her expectantly:]
Try a short sentence.
no subject
anyway, flayn kneels down and points from one letter to another.]
I-A-M-S-O-R-R-Y
no subject
[Ah.]
You're sorry for what? You have nothing to be sorry for.
no subject
[and then, helpfully, in case kasane forgot - because a lot did happen this week! - she points again]
F-E-A-S-T
no subject
You're not to blame.
[Ha. Haha. Hah.]
... We think you were poisoned. Do you know who killed you?
no subject
anyway, flayn shakes her head and points at letters again]
Y-O-U-F-E-D-O-T-H-E-R-S
[...it can't possibly be kasane, because if it had been, it wouldn't just be flayn dead, would it?
and anyone else she would have eaten with during the week... no, she doesn't want to think it.]
no subject
She's truly cursed, isn't she? A disgusting existence.

... I ate with you, too. I would never do anything to hurt you, I promise.
no subject
[She doesn't look like she doubts her at all. Instead, she accepts everything she's saying as truth with a nod.
This is exactly why Flayn died.]
no subject
She sighs, pressing a hand against her chest. Be still, her heart.]
I realize you might've only just regained yourself. But... have you learned anything new?
no subject
[She looks troubled, though; clearly, she isn't sure what to make of that information.]
no subject
... Have they all been here the same amount of time? Or does it vary between them?
no subject
[Her expression falls, and she hesitates before pointing once more.]
W-E-D-E-A-D-A-R-E-T-R-A-P-P-E-D
[Another moment's hesitation, and then another - she folds her hands and places them in her lap.]
no subject
[... Hm. That hesitation, though. She bites her lip, and gently adds:]
Is that all you wanted to say, Flayn-san?
no subject
[A pause, and then she nods.]
no subject
no subject
[She nods again, but she looks slightly less sure than before.]
no subject
Whatever it is... It's okay if you tell me. I promise I'll stay calm, no matter what. You trust me, don't you?
no subject
I-W-A-N-T-D-I-M-I-T-R-I-T-O-M-A-K-E-I-T-H-O-M-E-S-A-F-E-L-Y
[...which is going to be difficult, given... the numbers.
Hence her hesitation.]
no subject
Her expression softens. Yes, that's going to be difficult considering they're on an island full of cowards.]
I want him to make it home safely, too. I wish you could both make it home safely.
[It's sincere, actually, because she doesn't hate Flayn at all. She was just... convenient.]
... But we're almost out of time. If we had found the one who orchestrated this, would things be easier?
no subject
[She wishes she knew, but she doesn't.]
no subject
You guys only know as much as we do, huh?
no subject
why did i delete the notif for this r i p
Is there anything you need me to pass on...? Before... whatever happens tomorrow.
oh .......... i figured we all just got busy
["Tell him to be safe" is too long to point to, Flayn is tired of pointing long sentences.]
no subject
I'll tell him.
