charcoalfeather: (What's wrong with this ring?)

once again this is late and I'm sorry /also Haibane spoilers

[A little encouragement could go a long way. Finally, Rakka was even registering Kuu, who had risen from the bed at some point to circle the floating Yamask.]

Kuu... I'm sorry.

[It's the first thing she can think to say, and so the rest of the words just seem to follow it.]

You're not here anymore, you can't be, because when you left... [Her gaze dips.] I know what happened that night now. You came to find me, just to say goodbye, and thank me for whatever I did. And before I knew it, you left, and then I saw the light in the woods...

[Kuu stands there, expectantly. Silent.]

You left. [Hard words to say.] And it hurt everyone, but as best they could, everyone tried to move on. But I couldn't, not for a month. I just felt myself growing sadder and sadder, and it got worse... [She looks up again.] I missed you so much! And now... now I feel worse because I wanted you back.

[The combined events of today piling up, and the support she's been given so far, forces some tears to well up in Rakka's eyes. These were things she had to get off her chest for some time now.]

Everything just got worse for me then, but... then I found a way out. And I understand it now.

[Kuu nods, and smiles.]

I miss you, Kuu, but I know I just can't keep you here. I'm sorry, Kuu.

[Just like before, a light forms around the ghost and forces Rakka to look away just briefly. And when either of them looks back... there's another Yamask in the room, floating beside the other.]

...Goodbye, Kuu.
