[ Caelus, the shadows wrap around you, and you find yourself on a street at sunset. You know this:
Riko is dead. And the curse on the ground in front of you means that Toji, her executioner, is too.
Except that isn't possible, because Toji killed Satoru, and there isn't anyone left alive who could kill him so quickly after Riko's death. So you run, heading toward the organization responsible for her death for answers, and there—Satoru is alive, surrounded by a room full of non-sorcerers celebrating the death of a 14-year old girl. ]
[ distinctly sets this for after caelus speaks with gojo today or the tenor might be different! haha!
wow. that's grim. caelus has seen death but always with appropriate sorrow thereafter. the clapping makes him nauseous. the question gojo poses stabs deeper than that, mixing unpleasantly with the certainty that he could slaughter the crowd. at least he waits for geto to call the shot.
and he does. and it is against a massacre yet nothing feels any better.
the memshare spits them out. ] ... Why? Why did they--?
it ends with the vast sky of the dreamscape opening up, great columns of golden chips bearing down upon a world caelus doesn't have the strength to protect.

Her life was worthless to them.

[ it may have to be presented to him even more bluntly--the full capacity for human cruelty.
you may do the honors, geto ]
no subject
No. They just didn't care.
no subject
And Gojo would have really...
[ he hides his internal conflict poorly. ]
You endured a lot.
no subject
[ He purses his lips. ]
Because of them, both me and him nearly died. And Riko did.
Maybe it would've been better to rid the world of them.
no subject
[ the concern from caelus is more geared towards the people he knows rather than the clapping sadists. ]
no subject
... Yeah. They would've put out an execution order for him.
[ Sae, my memory :pleading: ]
no subject
haha, imagine.
no, then they're taken to another memory.
5:08:34-5:14:33, then 5:23:56-5:24:42 (also it's a gacha, they talk slow, you're allowed to go 1.5x speed).
"You will become the personification of 'Death.'"
it ends with the vast sky of the dreamscape opening up, great columns of golden chips bearing down upon a world caelus doesn't have the strength to protect.
they return from the memory.
caelus exhales, but the tension won't ebb. ]

What did Aventurine want?
no subject
To make everyone think he was going to detonate me. I'm kind of 'the bomb' back home.
[ ha ha. ]
But he told me here that wasn't what he was really after. I believe him on that.
no subject
Because of the Stellaron inside of you?
no subject
That's right. And if there was even the smallest percentage of a chance he could do it, I couldn't let that happen.
