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?!

I already told you. I'm a shinigami. Weren't you paying attention?

I was. So it really is common for all shinigami to be able to read minds if there isn't something blocking it?

Not where I'm from, no.

The ones in the Game could if the Players didn't have their pin on. Guess they're different in your part of the world. [Even though she's pretty sure they're from the same world. Maybe not the same year, or the same version of the world, but he's definitely from Earth :|]

...It was 1997 when I left. If you have to know.

...ten years my senior then, at least. [2007 is about the closest guess we can get to when the game's set anyway.]

Is there any way for you to...I don't know, shut off your ability to hear my thoughts? [Shiki maybe if you put on your Player Pin...]

It's something I was born with. There's nothing I can do about it.

...even when you were alive? Are you serious? [Kinda curious now.]

[He shrugs, because talking about being alive isn't something he wants to do with this girl ever.]

Totally weird...[And kind of sad. Man, she can't imagine how annoying it'd be for somebody like Hisoka to constantly have to hear people. It bothered the shit out of Neku, she knows that, but her own experiences weren't necessarily as bad.] Wouldn't it be better to stop questioning me then so you don't hear things?

Because I still want to know how you died.

And I'm still not sure what part of "it's not your place" you're not getting. You're not one of the ones from the Game, so how's it going to help you to know?

Because it helps me know how big of a selfish ass you really are.

Look, you already know it was an accident, so can't we leave it at that?

No. We can't.

It was just a bad accident, I accepted to play the Game, we won the game, I came back. Accident. Understand? [You know, beyond the part about how she was completely foolish and brought the accident upon herself.]

But what did you do? [gdi where is Tsuzuki. Tsuzuki's so much better at actually dealing with people.]

...I was hit by a car, if you really want to know that badly. [That's. You know, half the truth. And since her mun is waving her magic headcanon wand we'll go with that story.]

And how exactly does this make you feel justified about coming back? How do you know you weren't supposed to go then?

I worked hard to get a second chance, thanks. And you know how I know? Because...because it just wasn't my time.

The time you're supposed to go isn't always a convenient one.

I chose my own destiny. I can guarantee you it wasn't supposed to be that way.

Choosing your own destiny is a nice fantasy, but life doesn't work like that.

[It does when you choose what moment to run into traffic in Shibuya.] Think whatever you want then.

I generally do.
