[ morning, afternoon, evening, it doesn't matter when or where. you could be in the library or the computer lab or even in your own cell if the door was open. only the hint of giggling and the sudden prickly sensation on the back of your neck would alert you to the fact that you're not alone and more importantly something is definitely crawling on you--

choose to slap the cockroach or the new prisoner girl who put it there, it's up to you! it's good entertainment for her either way. ]

[ oh. well, that's something she can understand.

she just stares blankly back at Satori, as if unsure what to think about this. thinking and being serious about anything is difficult for her. ]

[openedeyes]

Do you understand it now?

[closeminded]

They're gone? All of them? Orin and Okuu...

[openedeyes]

That's right. Even Orin and Okuu.

[closeminded]

... Unfair. That's unfair of them, not being with us.

[openedeyes]

We're in prison, Koishi. You know you what that is.

[closeminded]

I think I do! But this is my first time being in jail, sis.

[openedeyes]

We're going to be here a long time.

[closeminded]

How long?

[openedeyes]

Twenty years.

[closeminded]

[ trying to imagine that... ]

We're going to be so old--!

[openedeyes]

Do you know why it's important now you have to be careful?

[closeminded]

Because... if I fall I might not be able to get up? Like an old person. Or a turtle.

[openedeyes]

We're in prison because our neighbors hated us. Other people actually do things that puts them there. If you put a cockroach on someone who committed murder, what do you know what would happen? I do. They would hurt you and I would be very worried. I wouldn't be able to save you.

[she sounds angry still but worried.]

[closeminded]

People hating us is only natural. Even I can remember that much. But there are really murderers here, huh...

Don't worry, I'll try not to need to be saved.

[openedeyes]

[she gives a sigh, slinking down in her chair. this was useless.]

[closeminded]

I'm stronger than you, riiight?

[ even if that might just be that sis is more shut-in than her. ]

[openedeyes]

Maybe. You're also more reckless.

[closeminded]

[ or mindless. ]

I can't help it, probably.

[openedeyes]

[another sigh]

I know...

[closeminded]

Would it be that dangerous here?

[openedeyes]

It can be.
