Day 17

[suppressthedark]

[There's enough time still left in the day to go find Corrin, once he's calmed down enough and talked everything through to consider leaving his room.

There's so much he wants to say, to so many people - and if it's in person, then it's better that way.

He doesn't want to force anyone to come to his execution tomorrow, after all.]

[And he definitely wanted to see Ichigo at some point in the evening but... damage control, right?

He finally finds him at some point in the evening and carefully approached him. ...It's hesitant because the last time he approached someone who was going to die in the morning was Niles himself, and the words he left Corrin with... still affect Corrin right now.

So try not to take it personal if he looked nervous approaching you. What do you say to someone in this situation after all? Sorry you're going to die? No....]

[Ichigo notices Corrin coming up...and just gives a small smile, one that doesn't quite reach his eyes.]

...Hey, Corrin.

[He doesn't mind the nervousness - after all, it's got to be awkward talking to someone you know is going to die soon.

But Death has never really mattered to him, in the end.]

Good timing. I wanted to talk with you, anyway.

[chosemyfate]

[And he notices that resigned reaction. ...But what can he say to that? They both know, anyway...

He tenses a little at the request to talk to him. Ah... But he stands his ground as he carefully stepped up beside Ichigo.]

I-I'm sorry it all ended this way. No one deserves this. [Not even the culprit.]

[suppressthedark]

....Yeah, I know. None of us deserve this to begin with.

[Being stuck in murder school, having to find friends dead or suspect those same friends of murder...

It was all just so, so fucked up.]

...Make it out of here, alright? Do you best to survive. I'm sure...that's what Niles would want for you, too.
