[ names: ryouma and izou. they don't ring any bells for him now, but...
well. the tea has cooled off enough, and shylock will take this moment to take a sip. it's refreshing, but the mood is anything but. it's all right though -- he chose to visit him in the first place, no matter what disposition hizen was in. shylock didn't believe that he was all right in the first place, but this was... a lot. ]
Last month took a toll in everyone's minds. You know this.
[ but at the same time, it was also shylock who told him that he was loved by his master in life. what happened now?
he closes his eyes as he carefully chooses his words. ]
They must've had their reasons, but it could not have hurt them to tell you. Although it could be that it must have hurt telling you to stay away, too.
[ but he could be playing devil's advocate, as he always has. ]
("You know this." He knows this. After he'd removed himself and thrown himself into the rain to fight any sort of distraction he could find, he'd told himself this. Still, it only takes one moment to bring things down. He has anxieties that have been with him from the moment he manifested. He'd learned to ignore them and find ways to prove them wrong.
If he was strong If he listened If he did what he was told If he even did the dirty work If he did everything no one else wanted to do If he was useful If he tried to be good
Then he would be valued. Wanted.
And the rain had washed it away. His own hopes turned against him. He slides one, two, three steps back and he relearns his place again. )
Doesn't matter. (He takes a breath, a long, tired sigh, and reaches to take a piece of candy. Unwrapping it and popping it into his mouth. He isn't really hungry but if he does something, he can fill some of his hollowness. ) 'S all in the past now.
(Things that can't be taken back. Things that have to be lived with. )
[ must be rough being a weapon all his life only to be given a corporeal form with corporeal feelings, huh.
shylock only watches him over the rim of his cup, observing, also mulling on what to say. now hizen reminds him of a cat abandoned by both his owners... ]
It doesn't have to be. For you are a relic of the past as well.
[ shylock would know. ]
Did you truly want everything to go back to the way it used to be?
Rest 💮 Pass. Recently purchased bedding for Itadori.
Responsibility 🈴 Acceptable. Helps with chores and errands. Cleans up after himself. Comes back hurt from work and can be careless with treatment.
Communication 🆖 No good. I still have no idea what the hell is going on.
Relationships 🆖 No good. Because you're asking me instead of him so I assume things are shit.
Other 🈴 No comment
Final Remarks Overall, Itadori is doing well. I'd say don't worry but I still have no idea what the hell is going on so worry if you want. It's none of my business.
