[While Tohko hadn't mentioned that Suzaku was going to commit suicide, she let it slide for a moment, since something both puzzled her..and made her rather sad.]
It's terrible that he has something like that placed on him then! I don't know who was foolish enough to do something like that..but they must not have been thinking. Immortality is horribly painful for most people. However..while I didn't say that he was going to commit suicide, don't you mean a geas, Diarmuid? Not a geass?
[Tohko then sighed and..wore a mask of a smile as she spoke about Chia.]
I can..but it would be absolutely horrific. Not being able to taste normal food is bad enough sometimes, but losing the ability to even feel hunger, pain and love would be terrifying. But yes, she could feel shame. There was still some hope that, one day, the others might wake up, back when we were on our own universe.
As for how we got her to help herself up..Chia, and her predecessor, Shuji Katoka, read a book entitled No Longer Human, which is rather dark and has a protagonist that is just like them, even though he doesn't commit suicide at the end of the story. Shuji did kill himself though and left a suicide note..which Chia found ten years later. After finding out what happened to him, Chia decided to take the same path, thinking that she was no longer human and that she would never change.
I told her that while Osamu Dazai did write dark stories like No Longer Human, he also wrote warm, loving stories and funny comedies, and stories that could give others hope, like Run, Melos!. I told her that she should at least live long enough to read them all cover to cover and write a ten thousand page report on them. At that..she let Konoha and I pull her to safety on the roof.
