Forty-Third Spool of Thread - [Voice/Action]

[There's the sudden sound of a bunch of boxes falling to the ground, contents spilling everywhere as the journal's camera points up to the ceiling. It shifts suddenly to focus on a particular pink-haired girl who was unceremoniously dumped into the back room of her shop on top of said boxes.]

Ugh...thanks for the warning, jerks. [She begins to untangle herself from the boxes of ribbons and fabrics, moving the journal closer to speak. For the most part, she seems pretty unharmed.]

Hey...so what day is it anyway? Here's hoping I wasn't gone too long, totally bad for business. [There's a slight beat, suddenly remembering something. You know, her housemate that was alone for like a week.] Haruhi, report. [She works her way out from under the pile of materials and the door to the back room swings open, allowing her to enter the main part of the shop.]

Neku...you better have made it back. That was pretty low of them, keeping us sort of together and then sending you back first. Besides, I was right in the middle of designing a n--

[There's a long pause suddenly as she really takes a look at the shop. She's staring at a row of dresser dummies, counting them in her head.]

All right, which one of you broke into my shop when I was gone?!

[Sure, they would be...if Shiki would keep her mouth shut sometimes.]

I see nothing to feel guilty about, you know.

[...Fine. He'll stop for that.]

Oh you don't, do you?

I don't. And until I see justification why I should, I'm standing by that.

Other people had their souls eradicated so you could judge people by what they wear.

That's why.

So what, should I go die again to make it right?! It's not like I asked them to erase everyone else!

Is that what you think it'll take?

I don't care, but I'm not dying again. If it bothers you that much, take it up with Joshua. The Players can't do anything about it.

[He sucks at his teeth.]

...Selfish.

And you call me judgmental.

Did you know that if one set of partners complete the mission, it saves everyone in the Game for another day? Or did he leave that part out?

And yet it's so important to you that it took this long for you to remember that much? Did you ever care about them in the first place?

It's been two years, and guess what? Not all of us go around talking about things they did in their afterlife! Of course I cared. Did you ever care about the people you escorted?

We aren't talking about me.

I don't care, it's still relevant. Answer the question, Hisoka.

Don't speak to me so informally, Misaki. [It's actually kind of liberating to finally find another Japanese person in the middle of an ocean of westerners. She at least understands the sentiment. It's a shame she's a shrew.]

Fine, Kurosaki-san. Better? Answer the question already. [Oh Hisoka. There are a bunch of us Japanese people...you'd probably just hate all of them.]

I had clients. I wasn't in the business of making friends. [This is a true story.]

All I'm hearing is that you weren't much better than the rest of us, just that you had a fancier title. Prove me wrong.

I don't have to prove a damn thing to you.

But you will anyway because you don't like being wrong. You don't like that a girl is calling you out. Do you?

I don't like that you don't know when to shut your face, no.

I wouldn't have got to where I am if I did. What's your point? It's not my fault you're touchy.

I'm not touchy!

You're as touchy as a chihuahua. Start getting yappy when something happens you don't like.

My point is that there's nothing natural about what you've done. And that's not going to stop being true just because you want to change the subject.

It's not like my death was natural to begin with, so I guess it all worked out.
