Not here. She... made a form for herself in the cloud, I think? When I woke up, she suddenly looked like that. [ when he died, she was simply a rice cooker.
he sort of looks like he wants to say "fuck that guy", but he does not. ]
I knew what the cost was. And it was completely worth it. We didn't have any other options.
[ but enough about that, he's just blowing past it. except running into that question. ]
It's not meant to be a miserable place. [ dubiously. things got real fucked real fast over on the living side. ] So... enjoyment is good. While you're healing, it's better than stressing your soul out. [ the challenge is both, but. he shrugs. getting kiraman to actively talk about this sort of thing is always a pain in the ass. ] A challenge is a challenge, and it isn't anything new. I'm not as great inside a closed network, but with everybody else and everything else, it's a little easier.
[ i'm losing my mind. RICE COOKER! jing yuan probably understands what he's saying at least... probably.
he nods in acknowledgment. he would've chosen the same, in kiraman's position. ]
...If only we would stress less as a whole. But I suppose the wants of an old man are different. [ there's honestly a bit of a divide between ages and attitudes here. where others are understandably reactive, jing yuan... is not. and not for lack of empathy, but out of necessity. mara is the result of too much stress on the soul, after all. ]
That is good to hear. What do you do for enjoyment then, outside your work?
[ what he's really asking is, when do you take breaks,,, ]
I get it. Nobody's completely fine with dying, but this is still one of the safer places you could end up. [ so people's anger is fair, but also, kiraman really said "i don't have time for this."
mostly because he has other things to do. they really do have that in common, apparently. speaking of things in common, much like my other geniuses i've played, kiraman visibly pauses as he tries to think of how to answer that question. ]
... I used to spend a lot of time online browsing forums and stuff. And there was a comic shop a few blocks from my house I'd visit every other week to pick up some new stuff. After a while, none of it mattered, I think. I used to have other things, but... they were never really mine. I don't miss them.
[ it's so funny bc jy was a killer and didn't get stabbed a hundred times to death, but yeah... sometimes... ur mindful ur on an 8wk time crunch... 😔😔😔
also your geniuses ty!!!! hysterically jing yuan canonically also spends so much time browsing online forums, i have no idea how he gets any work done.
anyway he notes that this is all in past tense. he hums. ]
...Not to interrupt your work any more than I already have [ and he will excuse himself soon ], but when you have a spare moment, there's a comic shop here I've yet to stop by. Perhaps you can give me recommendations sometime.
[ the timecrunch is real... that's me thinking about how close endgame is to sakuracon.
sometimes a little online browsing is good for the brain! also i feel like jy deserves to slack a little. ]
It's not interrupting, Jing Yuan. [ there's a half smile. ] I work out of that shop half the time anyway, but I thought having a desk would be a good change of pace. Anytime though, I can probably find something you'd like.

and jy definitely takes it easy, do not worry hehe. he returns the smile. (his not-so-secret ploy to get kiraman some enrichment... a success?) ]
I look forward to it. ...If you'll excuse me, it is getting late for an old man like me. [ he has to sleep off these mild burn... eventually! ]
Thank you for your time, Principal.

(success on jy's part, even if kiraman won't admit it.) ]
Sure. You know where to find me when you need me. Take it easy on the way back. [ onward you go. ]
