[It's late, and Naoya is asleep, dreaming.]

[No, not dreaming. Remembering… for the most part.]

['The child is going to bring death to our home.'

'Her brother is sick. He won't make it.'

'You killed your own brother. Why would you do such a thing?'

'Get out of my house!']

[Hundreds of lives, thousands of years of memory, and only one person who mattered, snatched away over and over and over.]

[A small boy, standing in front of him, covered in blood, reaching out to him.]

['Brother… you killed me. But it's all right. I forgive you.']

[It can't be true. Abel must hate him. It would make no sense for him not to.]

[And then the boy is suddenly surrounded by clones of himself, all covered in blood, all reaching out towards him.]

['Cain… Cain… Cain… it was only in our world you were punished, Cain.']

[Naoya bolts up in his bed, pressing his hands to his face. Ugh… tears. Hopefully Jun is sound asleep and will stay that way. He doesn't need questions.]

[[ooc; Closed to people in Naoya's house right now.]]

	Maybe. It depends on in what aspect you mean 'better'. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Being alive is better than being dead? [Hear the disbelief as she says it?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cursedmemory 2010-12-28 07:53 am UTC (link)
	If you stay dead, it can be better. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Saki shrugs, idly tracing the rim of her mug.] You get to know Jun is safe, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cursedmemory 2010-12-28 05:38 pm UTC (link)
	He'd be safe anyway. He's the Messiah, I doubt they're going to let him die so easily. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notmycreampuffs 2010-12-28 05:45 pm UTC (link)
	If you say so. I have a little brother too, did you know that? Even if he was the Messiah or whatever -- I'd still worry if we were separated. [So, in other words, she worries.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cursedmemory 2010-12-28 05:56 pm UTC (link)
	He'd remember you, wouldn't he? So you're not really separated. [Abel always forgets. Abel always forgets. Abel always forgets. And that's what hurts the most.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notmycreampuffs 2010-12-28 07:40 pm UTC (link)
	I didn't mean remembering. [But that's the flaw in her logic, isn't it? Naoki's small and timid and prickly and a bit of a crybaby; he needs his big sister. Her fingers tighten around her own mug, if only for a second.] If you ever wanted to tell me-- I'd listen. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cursedmemory 2010-12-29 01:22 am UTC (link)
	It's... impossible to explain in a way someone will understand. [He rocks back on his feet for a moment, lost in thought.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notmycreampuffs 2010-12-29 01:34 am UTC (link)
	--okay. Okay. [He won't talk, she won't pry. Just going to take a sip of her tea and sit in the poorly lit kitchen, shivering silently against the chill.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cursedmemory 2010-12-29 01:41 am UTC (link)
	[He stays quiet for a few more moments, taking another sip of tea.] ... What does 'home' mean to you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notmycreampuffs 2010-12-29 01:45 am UTC (link)
	Whatever you're attached to. I don't think it's a place. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cursedmemory 2010-12-29 01:49 am UTC (link)
	Heh. Getting attached to something is foolish. It can be used against you. [Like a scythe in the heart.] And yet... people still do it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notmycreampuffs 2010-12-29 01:51 am UTC (link)
	I don't think they can help themselves. [Like her, becoming attached to -- people.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cursedmemory 2010-12-29 01:54 am UTC (link)
	Why? I have... never understood the need for other people, other than the biological need to reproduce. Even in the beginning... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notmycreampuffs 2010-12-29 01:56 am UTC (link)
	[Ew, reproduction.] Don't judge others just because you're a freak. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cursedmemory 2010-12-29 01:58 am UTC (link)
	Isn't that what all people do? Judge others based on what they experience? They can never see the full picture, or anywhere close... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notmycreampuffs 2010-12-29 02:02 am UTC (link)
	[...ow, that expression. Saki sighs, her body becoming looser as all her energy seems to go away at once.] People do a lot of things. Trying to find rational explanations for the behaviour of others is just a waste of time. If you can't understand, then don't try. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cursedmemory 2010-12-29 02:08 am UTC (link)
	I've tried... for longer than you've been alive. For longer than your parents have been alive, or their parents. And still... I'd take humans over the angels any day. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notmycreampuffs 2010-12-29 02:12 am UTC (link)
	[Just going to... look over at him, surprised. You don't mean the age difference between eighteen and twenty-five, do you.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cursedmemory 2010-12-29 02:20 am UTC (link)
	[He laughs quietly, out of lack of any other semi-reasonable reaction. It hurts. He knows how to make it stop hurting, but it's unobtainable for now. His head hurts too much.] I just want it to stop... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notmycreampuffs 2010-12-29 02:26 am UTC (link)
	...Naoya. [Touching--it's not something she's good at, not a fond experience for her. But if he doesn't flinch or move away, she'll just... reach over and take his hand. No hesitations or trembles.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cursedmemory 2010-12-29 02:36 am UTC (link)
	[He doesn't move away, but he doesn't react either. Not physically, at least. He keeps staring at the counter, at the mug, not saying anything.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notmycreampuffs 2010-12-29 02:39 am UTC (link)
	[That's fine. Saki just lets her fingers curl around Naoya's hand, keeping her touch light and impersonal, but -- there. Not saying anything, she'll just lean back against the counter's edge and stare up at the ceiling.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cursedmemory 2010-12-29 03:06 am UTC (link)
	... Saki. [Just her name. She can't understand. She couldn't ever know what it was like.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
