EXECUTION V
Execution V
The end of this weekend's trial brought many questions and little answers, but like clockwork the time for execution comes like normal. The tune this Sunday has a more cheerful energy than usual, much like the piece that heralded the start of investigation.
It might not do much to change the mood though, given the two men standing in the sealed off space, in the middle of all the mirrors. Raven is there of course, and the man with him is someone else who else who was a fixture of yesterday's trial, Yeager.

[ Yuri said something along those lines, Suga mentioned personal responsibility. Maybe he really ought to stop being so hard on himself, even if it doesn't make it hurt any less. ]
He thought that I didn't want anything to do with him anymore, actually, despite me thinking that he felt that way about me. Once that misunderstanding was cleared up, it went really well.
Raven-san...I can't say I knew him very well, but he did a lot for me during our time here. I told myself that's how I'd remember him.
no subject
[He doesn't exactly get it, because Raven's in a very different situation, but he understands better than most people.]
I think that's what he'd want, though. To be remembered fondly for all the things he helped you with. He... really was trying to help before this.
[Yeager doesn't know that for sure. It's possible he's wrong. But he isn't going to consider that possibility and he's going to continue to think the best of Raven as well.]
no subject
[ He says it very firmly, too, just to make it clear. ]
...Was he trying to help back at home, too?
[ He asks because Raven just seemed like that kind of person. Someone who wanted to quietly help others. ]
no subject
Ja, I think he was. I can't say for certain - we really didn't know each other very well - but... I think he did want to help, ultimately.
[Despite everything, he was with Yuri and friends as Raven even then. Maybe he was able to find a different answer by that point in time. Maybe things would have been different if Hamelin had pulled him from then.
Yeager shakes his head at that.]
He did quite a lot to help me here, and he had no reason to trust me at all.
no subject
[ He's learning a lot about Raven today, huh. It's too bad he couldn't have learned while Raven was still alive. ]
So...you two were able to improve your relationship, then, because you were here.
no subject
[Not quite the same as Tenn and Riku, but definitely following some of the same patterns.]
We even joked about as much. It's the one thing we could thank Hamelin for.
[Obviously he's not going to thank Hamelin for it now, but you know.]
no subject
[ He really does, and Yeager knows why. ]
Well, Yeager-san, I'm glad to hear that, for what it's worth. Raven-san will live on in our memories; it's the best thing we can do for him now, if I had to guess.
no subject
[Being remembered fondly even after everything... Yeah, Raven would probably like that.]
no subject
Well. If there's anything I can do for you, just let me know. Suga-san believes in the power of storytelling, so I've been doing things like that a little more lately.
no subject
I'd like to hear more about your world at some point, then. I think I have a fairly good idea of what being an idol is like, but I want to hear some of your fond memories of it someday.
no subject
[ Obviously!! He'll even tell you the elevator story, Yeager, aka the time he scared the shit out of some of Riku's friends by. Pushing an elevator open with his bare hands. ]
It might not be anything exciting, but I'll talk about them with you.
no subject
[But he nods at that; sure, please tell him the elevator story at some point???]
