    s "Not like I think you {i}should{/i} forgive me or anything after what I did to you..."
    s "But I know you’re not the type to really {i}want{/i} to do that in the first place because it makes it easier to shut people out."

    scene pluto24

    y "Thanks. But just the idea of {i}you{/i} havin’ to give me a fuckin’ free pass to not feel like I’m insane kinda sucks."

    y "You...uhh..."
    y "I don’t really remember when it was..."
    y "But a while ago, I was hangin’ out in some alleyway..."

    scene pluto24
    with dissolve

    y "Well, it wasn’t."
    y "But...anyway, I was hangin’ out in some alley in the middle of the night when I heard a...familiar voice or whatever."
    y "So I obviously got up to like...just {i}make sure{/i} I wasn’t...mishearing it or some shit."
    s "Let me guess...that familiar voice belonged to me?"
    y "Yeah. Which isn’t weird by itself or whatever because like, you seem to basically {i}always{/i} be wandering around somewhere. "
    y "But...you weren’t alone that night."
    y "There was somebody else with you. And no, it wasn’t my fucking mom."

        y "Just fucking listen to me for a second."

    y "It was...hard to tell with how dark it was and shit, so I can’t be sure that it was the same person, but..."
    y "Then I remember hearin’ something about...clouds that...sounded a lot like somethin’ I remember from when I was a kid..."

    scene pluto26
    with dissolve

    y "And then you...said a name."
    y "Kaori."
    s "...Okay? She’s a friend of mine. It’s not any more than that."
    s "I doubt she’d even be capable of anything more than friendship given her...eccentricity."
    y "No, dude. That..."
    y "I think that was my cousin."
    y "Did she have like, different colored eyes and shit?"
    s "Yeah. Have you really never seen her around before?"
    s "She works at virtually every restaurant in Kumon-mi...and was also a popular online model or something for a while."
    y "A: I don’t have enough money to go out to restaurants. And B: I only use my phone to make calls and shit."
    s "Either way, I can’t see why me hanging out with your cousin should be something you have to get all weird about bringing up."
    s "It’s just one of life’s many coincidences. "

    scene pluto27

    y "But...she suddenly stopped coming over one day. "
    y "I tried asking why, but all anyone ever told me was that she was involved in some accident and hooked up to machines and shit."
    y "And when I didn’t hear anything after a few years and stopped talkin’ to my family, I just assumed she never made it."
    s "…"
    s "I mean...she has said some stuff about being in the hospital. And the whole accident thing lines up with the weird onomatopoeia she used to describe what happened to her..."

    scene pluto27
    with dissolve

    y "Holy fuck...I had no idea."
    y "Has she said anything about like...family or whatever? What’s she like now?"
    s "Uhh..."
    s "That is...not an easy question to answer. Especially since I was pretty sure she was an alien until a few minutes ago."

    scene pluto30
    with dissolve

    y "Uhh...what?"
    s "Did she ever...speak strangely when you used to know her? Like...swapping out words for {i}other{/i} words and whatnot?"
    y "Not really. She was pretty normal apart from how she dressed and shit."
    s "Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but she is very likely not the same person she used to be."
    s "She has a very particular...way of speaking now."
    s "Kind of like she’s relearning not only everything about communication, but life itself."
    s "Great work ethic, though. Maybe you finally have a path to employment after all."

    scene pluto31
    with dissolve

    y "Nah."
    y "If she’s that fucked up, there’s no sense in showin’ up and confusing her even more."

    y "Fuck, dude. I could have sworn I was gonna leave this conversation feelin’ like some sort of maniac-"

    scene pluto32

    y "Maybe some other time. Would probably wind up just makin’ me feel weird if I met her now and she was a totally different person. ‘Specially if it’s as bad as you make it sound."

    y "Welp..."
    y "Guess that’s that, then."

    y "Nah. I said all I needed to say. "
    y "Just gonna go for a walk or some shit and try to...I don’t know- come to terms with this, I guess?"
    y "Fuckin’ weird thinking somebody's been dead for so long only to find out that they’re wandering around town talkin’ to your asshole teacher. "

    "Have you bled yourself dry when you could have remained hydrated and healthy?"
    "Or, perhaps you enjoy the misery?"
    "Perhaps it is the feeling of helplessness that you can throw yourself into that gives your life meaning."
