I guess you could say it’s just one out of a lot of things I regret not doing…

[holyspirits]

Maybe that's another exercise for later then. Thinking about what you might have said to her. Even if you may not get the chance to do it, sometimes just knowing and expressing it to someone else helps.

[cupidsammo]

Honestly, not a day goes by where I'm not thinking about it!

[holyspirits]

Have you ever said it out loud though?

[cupidsammo]

To—someone else?

[holyspirits]

Yeah. Is that such a shocking question?

[cupidsammo]

Not really... It's just not something I normally do.

[holyspirits]

It's worth the consideration. No time like the present to try something new, right? And who else will know when you return?

[cupidsammo]

Well... No one, I guess. But I've always thought when the chance finally comes, I... do want to tell her everything I couldn't before.

[holyspirits]

Plenty of time to get it right then. [ they just feel strongly about telling people things. ]

[cupidsammo]

[ ... ]

Is it that you want to hear what's on my mind...?

[holyspirits]

I guess it's that. I also just think more people should say what's on their mind rather than keep it to themselves and torture themselves with the thoughts.

[cupidsammo]

Ah... It's okay, I'm not tortured by it or anything, if that's what you're worried about.

[holyspirits]

I wouldn't say worried about it, but... if you're sure. I promise I'll drop it for now.

[cupidsammo]

It's okay—really.

[ Whether that's true or not? Who can say, really, but in an attempt to segue into something a little less... this, Koharu glances down at their knitting projects. ]

Do you like to knit often? Gamaliel told me you made something for everyone when we first woke up here.

[holyspirits]

[ that is fair, they will let her segue. ]

I did, yeah. I wasn't sure what would fit best for all of you so I guessed. I like to keep my hands busy., so it's not just knitting. I like other projects, too.

[cupidsammo]

So you do a lot of different crafts?

[holyspirits]

They're easy, and you can get materials in bulk for a good price. [ ah, there's the motive. ] So I would always have a lot of materials and try to find ways to use them in between my other jobs.

[cupidsammo]

You're definitely the artsy type.

[holyspirits]

But I wouldn't call myself artsy, you know? [ that is simply too basic. ] But I'd rather be that than something else.

[cupidsammo]

No? Um...

Creative? I'm not sure how else to call it.

[holyspirits]

[ pff. ]

It's okay, Koharu. You don't have to put a word to it. Sometimes I prefer not haven't a word to describe myself.

[cupidsammo]

Oh! Okay. Then just...

[ gestures hands vaguely ]

[holyspirits]

[ ...koharu... ]

Here. Why don't I show you a simple stitch? You're already here, and I have a lot of yarn.

[ it is an effective change of subject, and also a convenient way for us to handwave and close a w0 thread if you would like. ]

[cupidsammo]

[ god are we really still in w0. okay. ]

... Oh, sure!

[ HANDWAVEY IT IS ]
