CLOSED CASKET FUNERAL

“She wanted me to live and be happy. I owe her that much to carry on.” #HoldYourBreathEvent

[CLOSED CASKET FUNERAL @bygoneangels]

Before my thoughts began to speak
I bit my lip, said nothing
And just sucked on 麥芽糖

EVENT: Hold Your Breath

[CLOSED CASKET FUNERAL @bygoneangels]

[She’s holding a matchbook.]

Lucky me, I managed to grab this…

@aya_of_pasupare It’s fine, Aya-chan. I don’t think most of us have had to survive in these… awful conditions, really.

[CLOSED CASKET FUNERAL @bygoneangels]

@aya_of_pasupare We’re not going to starve, don’t worry. The camp has enough food for you, Himari-chan, and I, but that might change in the next two months if we can’t get ahold of more food.

[CLOSED CASKET FUNERAL @bygoneangels]

@ueharaafterglow Let’s go, then.

[CLOSED CASKET FUNERAL @bygoneangels]

@ueharaafterglow There’s hope somewhere. I know there is.

Come to my camp in the forest. Accepting despair is the last thing we can afford, especially as our numbers keep dwindling…

[CLOSED CASKET FUNERAL @bygoneangels]

@ueharaafterglow Please. We can outlive this.

[CLOSED CASKET FUNERAL @bygoneangels]

@ueharaafterglow It’s not worth letting go, Himari-chan.

@aya_of_pasupare “Breath less, Aya-chan. You’re going to hyperventilate.”

Chisato’s remaining calm and focused. As expected of a Liu Association Fixer, she shows no fear.

“I have a holdout a good distance from here. But we’re going to want to run.”

@cornetgirlie Forget imprisonment, you need a straitjacket.

[CLOSED CASKET FUNERAL @bygoneangels]

Good morning everyone. It’s nice to sleep in on weekends…

[CLOSED CASKET FUNERAL @bygoneangels]

@RealMocaAoba Your gift will come when it comes, Moca. Have patience.

[CLOSED CASKET FUNERAL @bygoneangels]

@pandesilly @boppinbooks_ I’d be up for it. I know how to make an interrogation hurt, at least.

[CLOSED CASKET FUNERAL @bygoneangels]

Wonderful. I have another headache…

[CLOSED CASKET FUNERAL @bygoneangels]

@RealMocaAoba Chisato lied there too for a while. Maybe she was an unhappy person, sure. But that didn’t always have to be the case.

Covering her eyes with an eye mask, Chisato slowly drifted off to sleep.

“Good night, Moca. I love you too.”

[CLOSED CASKET FUNERAL @bygoneangels]

@RealMocaAoba Chisato smiled at the mention of the nickname.

“I’ll stay with you. And in the morning, I’ll prepare us tea, mmkay?”

[CLOSED CASKET FUNERAL @bygoneangels]

@RealMocaAoba “I’ll always remember my partner, the one who would tear Districts apart looking for me.”

[CLOSED CASKET FUNERAL @bygoneangels]

@RealMocaAoba “So am I unhappy too? Absolutely.”

This wasn’t even a cynical, hate-filled declaration like she often made about her managers or snobby staff. This was fact, nothing more, nothing less.

“But I’ve got you, Moca. No matter how many dreams I have that make me unhappy…”
