[between her own curse, the memshare, and what he says right before the comic book panels drop — saya looks like she's just about ready to bolt.

but the vibes she gets from him aren't... bad. exactly. so as tense as she is, she simply nods while watching his expression carefully. also not opening her mouth because, well. you know.]

[resumed]

[ can someone help saya. listen the thing about it is that nico has seen all sorts of monsters and abominations and usually they're trying to kill him, like, immediately. saya hasn't. and saya's been nothing but polite and reasonable and actually good to talk to in this place, so it's not like he feels like striking her down right away.

so he's watching her curiously, as if debating how much he can ask. ]

For how long?

[squelching]

What's it to you?

[man, what a time to be cursed. she grimaces and shakes her head, huffing out a little sigh.]

... It wasn't too long. Just a few months.

[resumed]

[ he's just going to ignore the curse now that he's more aware because he's tired. fuck off, curse. ]

I would argue that a few months is still a bit of time. A lot can happen in that timeframe. [ ... ] But that's not...bad?

[ there is no polite way of asking "what went wrong", but it's clear he's curious still. ]

[squelching]

It wasn't bad at all. [quietly.] Those months were some of the happiest in my life.

[and then Something went wrong, but. what can you do.]

[resumed]

[ he can hear the "and" to that, but he isn't sure if he can press. ]

...sometimes it's worth having those months to hold onto in the end. Even if it doesn't always feel like it, you know? Like an example of "maybe everything doesn't always have to be awful."

[squelching]

... Now you sound like Reigen.

[(derogatory) (but not really)]

[resumed]

It's not my fault he has a point, even if I don't know how to feel about actually sounding like him. [ teasing. ] It's just...true. But it can be hard to believe when things are going poorly, so. I get that.

[ he can make an assumption that Something went wrong, because what else is new? but that's all he says before more panels appear. ]
