   It...Hurt. It really hurt. How was one supposed to react to hearing someone you cared so deeply about that had been taken out of your life- That you had SEEN leave your life? No matter the amount of talking Maki had done with various people, her friends included, at the mention of HIM, she would immediately shut down any sort of conversation. She didn’t want to hear it, and she would much prefer to simply bottle these feelings up and forget about them on some dusty shelf. It was such a cruel fate for somebody that she had once held so closely but- She needed to be able to move forward. To keep going day by day with her existence. It should have been enough that sometimes she bought silly little mementos that reminded her of him. It should have been enough to keep his memory in her heart and thoughts. It should have been enough to have his friends around her that understood the pain.

   But...It was never enough. It would never be enough. Especially since the whole incident felt entirely unjust. How could people have decided that it happening was an okay thing? That they had let it gone on for so long? Losing him is what had made her hate the majority of the people on this god awful planet, and nothing could change her mind. Except by some miracle he was still alive on this planet somewhere but- Maki doubted that. She had been through the whole denial part of grieving and would rather not loop back around to it. But if anything- She was still angry. Very angry. So why now? Had she not suffered enough already?”

     “......It’s not FAIR..!” Her fists shook at her side before letting her anger get the better of her. Fist raised, she quickly slammed her knuckles into the mirror in front of her with a small yell.

He wasn’t sure how he was still there, flickering in and out, watching his friends go on. at first... He thought it was a dying dream, something his mind came up with to comfort him, one last lie before the curtain fell but it had became clearer and clearer that no, this was very much real.

And he wasn’t anymore, or well more he was what could be called a ghost, what remained of someone who had died, a ‘living’ memory. He was glad to see that his friends had been living life as much as they could but... It hurt... Watching like a member of the audience instead of being there with them.

He had tried a few times already to grab the attention of his friends, ranging from trying to break or move things to yelling and screaming, begging for them to look at him, see him. Nothing had worked, Kato had never been one to give up but... He needed to take a break, it was driving him insane and making the hole in his heart fill more and more with grief over his own death and he couldn’t take that anymore, he needed to regroup, regather his strength... The one upside to this all was no one could see when he needed to rest, when he was ‘weak’.

Or so he thought as words slipped out, a musing not meant to actually hit Maki’s ears as he was watching her head off to bed once again but... No she reacted, she yelled, replied.

In the broken shards of the mirror was where she could see him, he was blankly staring back at her, his features seemed more hallow, the bags under his eyes noticeable, he had a surprised look on his face.

“You- You can see me?” His voice was a bit off, far away and... It sounded like the memory of his voice, it lacked the breathes between words, the energy from his lungs and chest that his speech had but it was indeed Kaito’s voice.

It had been hard to watch, see how the world treated his friends, see how now that it was convenient they were acting caring, wanted to move on from Danganronpa. Kaito honestly agreed with Maki, everyone out there was rather two faced so it was hard t to believe that his friends could be better off by interacting with them... Normally he would hide such feelings, tryand be optimistic but there wasn't any point now he was dead.

Kaito did reach out as Maki fell over but his hand didn't even seem touch his side of the glass, there was a eternity between him and the living world, his face portrayed his concern despite everything it was the same sort of care in his face that had always been there.

Kaito watched on as she panicked, it hurt but made enough sense it wasn't like the supernatural was a commonly accepted thing, had he been asked before he would have never thought he would be in such a state of limbo.

"Maki-" he struggled for words, to not choke on tears that threatened to come out "-it's me, I'm here- sort of.... I don't know how but... I'm still here even after... I shouldn't be." He couldn't bring himself to say what happened to him, it wasn't that he didn't know or hadn't emotionally accepted his fate it was more due to his nature now.

    Surely Maki was just going crazy, that was it. Maybe it was just inevitable that she would eventually go off her rocker with how she basically refused to forget Kaito and had grown to despise the people of this world that had taken him away with that stupid game. The whole game of Danganronpa had been a nightmare, but losing Kaito had just taken it to the next level. Even if all of her feelings had been pre-planned, it didn’t feel that way and no one could tell her otherwise. But maybe it was that sheer stubbornness that was finally driving her to the edge of insanity.

    Some days Maki swore she could still hear him, or see his figure in the shadows- Really she should have considered that the point where she’d lost her mind, but…She knew better than anyone that sometimes the eyes could play tricks on a person. There was no way Kaito was there, and that was that. Surely it had just been because she never stopped thinking about him, and that’s why she would hear such a familiar voice when she was alone.

    Even Shuichi had tried to talk her into talking to someone, tried reassuring her that it would at least help ease some of the pain she felt but- How could she? Most of these losers were the very same that had let Danganronpa go on for as long as it had. They disgusted her. If that meant she would continue to suffer and eventually lose her mind, then so be it. Better than talking to those two-faced bastards. They may have gaslit and brainwashed Shuichi and Himiko, but Maki refused to let that happen to her. She refused to forget. Especially since no one had ever done anything to try and make it up to them. All they did was end Danganronpa for good, but beyond that? The survivors had been left to their own devices.

    When she finally opened her eyes to pull her fist away from the mirror, the sight in front of her made her yelp and fall backwards on to her bottom. Oh god- It really was happening. She was delirious, crazy, probably falling into some sort of psychosis. Maki had seen Kaito in the broken mirror- There was no way. He looked so tired and thin and- No! No, no, no. Kaito had never looked like that, even when he had died. Maki had to be seeing things.

    Ghosts weren’t a real thing either, so that was a dumb line of thought. Yep! She had officially lost her mind! She flopped back on to the floor, covering her eyes as she spoke lowly, in an almost broken voice. “Fuck- Of course. Of course I have to be the one to lose my mind.”

    But when she heard Kaito’s voice again, asking if she could see him, her eyes shot open as she peeked up at the mirror through her fingers. He was still there in the broken mirror. And had asked if she could see him. Either this was a really elaborate illusion her mind was making up, or there was some sort of weird fuckery going on. She blinked a few times, even closing her eyes tight for a few seconds and opening them again, hoping that if it was a hallucination, that it would just go away but- It never did. “…What..?”

Kaito pitched the bridge of his nose giving a annoyed sigh "Ouma, a apology doesn't mean crap if it's clear that you don't mean it, so yeah you can take it back, I'm not gonna miss it"

He wasn't even going to humor the moral topic.

Kaito wasn't exactly the most amazing massager but he did know a thing or two, it could help a lot when his body was feeling achy or when his back was hurting from training.

Still though he wasn't sure that he had ever felt shoulders so tense before, Maki felt a bit like a rock but he wasn't going to give up so easy, especially because he might have bragged about his skill to Maki.

"Uhhh, it's just taking it's time, can't rush these sorta things Makiroll or might pull something in a bad way." He was trying to sound reassuring.

Kaito gave Ouma a rather questioning look "I can't say I have, where's it used most of the time, maybe it's a regional thing." There if it was a lie no skin off his teeth and if it wasn't he didn't look like a idiot.

"this is not how I wanted to have this conversation." [ maki for kaito? 👀 ]

Kaito was still recovering from the attack, he hadn't expected them to really fall for the motive, he had expected less that Maki had even been close enough to hear him yelling.

"YYeah-Yeah I'd bet, uh... Normally I'd be asking why you know how to fight so well but right now I'm more wondering if they're still breathing."

[chaosmultiverse]

Kaito rolled his eyes at the raspberry, Ouma was a annoying mix of too such of a lil shit to mistake for 'cute' person but too childish to feel fully right not being a little patient with him when he wasnt activly being 'cruel'.

"Right... Oh my what will I do, I will simply die without apologies- That what you want to hear?"

Kaito grinned at the change, good, good her shoulders weren't made of stone.

"Hey by the end you'll know more, that's the great part about trying new things, even if it doesn't become something you do a lot you know what's it like and if it's your thing at least." Even though she couldn't see him she could hear in his voice his genuine smile.

"I could like light a scented candle or use some oils if you would like, I know those can help people relax but I didn't wanna assume."
