[Open]

Characters: Suzaku and open
Setting: Floor 95 (ball pit), floor 48 (graveyard) and floor 96 (white room)
Format: I'll follow you
Summary: Suzaku has a new job yay for him. He then tries to deal with emotions and fails
Warnings: Angst, bodies, trauma, self destructiveness

[Floor 95] Suzaku had seen plenty of corpses before, caused a few of them to be dead in the first place... caused a lot of them to die...

It wasn't even the first time he had been put to work dragging dead bodies from where they fell, there had been that awful battle after all... the days after Narita had been long ones of dragging bodies from underneath the fallen mountain.

But this was different, the gaudy colourful balls that fell in waterfalls around him only made the job more grim, more crushing.

He had been a soldier so long, had killed so many people. He should be used to it now, but he still mourned each body he pulled up. He didn't even know if they were all residents of the tower or just bodies that had always been there.

He stood on the edge of the stair case and took a deep breath before diving in again.

[Floor 48] Suzaku usually avoided this floor, the rows of graves, empty but the effect on those left behind as painful as if each of them was occupied.

He found the one he was searching for quickly enough and stared at it. Minato Arisato He simply stood there for a moment before bending to place a bullet shattered pocket watch in the grass and flowers growing around it.

"I'm sorry. For everything."

He turned and left the floor, not looking back.

Floor 96 The first time he had been here he had found it strange, the fuzziness in his mind not fading until he was well away from the floor.

But he went back, because sometimes it was best to forget, to not have to replay Diarmuid's words back to him, forget how happy Rolo had looked in the future, forget everything.

He never stayed more than a few hours at first, but soon it got addictive.

[Kirika hung around the mesh net as she watched from the second level quietly. She watched the young man work and left him be for now. She observed his behavior as he dragged the bodies out, he wasn't used to it. As for Kirika, she has recalled too many. It was as if she breathed it every day.

When Suzaku had taken a break, Kirika dangled herself upside down with her legs securing the mesh. At least her presence was about to be known.]


Need help? [Her voice echoed from above, quiet and calm.]

[The girl shakes her head.] It's fine.

[And she'll just drop herself into the ball pit, rotating in the air as if she's landing on her feet before she hits it.]

[Too late. As she pulls herself out of the ball pit, she drags a body by the shirt. Of course having a small body is not helping which gives her a hard time.]
carrythesin: ([doubt; not sure anymore])

[Well, now she has the look of guilt plastered on her face. Was she wrong to help?]
carrythesin: ([doubt; not sure anymore])

[She heard him, but it wasn't enough for even a nod.]
carrythesin: ([turn away; not really])

[She wants to help in some way.] It's fine... Is it okay if I stay?
carrythesin: ([hmm; whats there])

Nice to meet you. [It's what people say.]
