Characters: Izanami and YOU!
Setting: The graveyard
Format: Starting in commentspam, but I will shift!
Summary: Izanami is a goddess of death. It's only natural she care for the graves that have appeared.
Warnings: Izanami is her own warning.

[A graveyard. Perhaps it's only natural she care for it. She can't serve as the goddess of Yomi here, but she can make sure the graves remain tended. So she's slowly making her rounds today, humming an old song as she dusts off graves and disposes of any dead and withered flowers brought up from the meadow floor. She's easily approachable, and may even seem like a ghost with her pale coloring! Do you dare approach?]

[He nods faintly, following her as she continued. He may even help a little, if she allowed it (what he learned the hard way about coffee in his uncle's household!). I'm going to be having a dull headache for a while, then...]

...And foes.

[He glances in the direction of Kuja's and then Adachi's tombstones, then back to the goddess. Yeah, he's still mad about that one time in the labyrinth.]

Though, I suppose that's the inevitability here. [...oh!] That reminds me... Thanatos wanted me to pass along his thanks.

[For the week of fog, he guesses (since the connection faded before he could ask "what for"); it wasn't just him that needed that wake-up call, but the leader of Strega did as well.]

[thousandcurses]

Did he? I'll have to speak with him another time, then.

[No, Yu. This is her job. :| You don't need to lose sleep over it.]

[pitiedthefool]

Mm. Not long before the last ordeal began.

[Alright. Won't touch it, then. He'll just be a good representative of hope and focus on the living and those who remain here, like he is now.

'Good luck finding them, sister.' ...Izanagi ple-

... Yu stopped in his tracks and any semblance of a train of thought ended with a screeching halt at the sight of yet another tombstone he'd somehow missed (or was it because it was fresh?). But, that name...]

...Ted......

['...I'm sorry, but... at least you never saw me become a monster.']

[thousandcurses]

...Another has been taken, it seems.

[Izanami will allow the skeletal hands that she can spawn clean it so she can gently wrap arms around Yu and give him a hug. :c He probably needs it.]

[pitiedthefool]

Likely more...

[After all, there were twenty-three he made bonds with, however small, that vanished from this place... however much he tries not to linger on the thought for long. It's also probably telling of his and Izanagi's mentality that he just leans into that hug, even if the tears refuse to come. He's already learned the truth of how even death cannot separate them, after all.

Doesn't mean it doesn't hurt though, or that his newly repaired glasses weren't burning a hole in his pocket. Sometimes it sucked, being so empathic towards the living.]

Arigatou, Izanami. [Belated as it may be, he embraces her as well.] ....Perhaps we both know this pain too well.

[...Izanagi did you just give him that push again. It's getting harder to tell.]
