[ A shrine... like a grave stone, it'll be a constant reminder of their failures, made real and tangible. But they owe it to him, don't they. ]

A shrine sounds good. By a tree close to the dorms, since that's what he originally was, and then it's like he's still watching over... [ Toki.

But maybe Yuya doesn't want to look out his window and have that constant reminder of a shrine. Kano's room is a floor directly above, so every time he looks out the window, it'd be there too.

Toki, though... ]

Sorry, but can I entrust you to talk to Toki about it? About his pet jellyfish.

[hippocarnival]

[Yuya nods, reaching to wipe his face, desperately trying to clear it.] I'll--I'll talk to him. Tell him it died overnight, and...

[He bites his lip and tries really hard not to start crying again. It's really a good thing Toki doesn't show up until well in the morning.]

[suddenlybees]

...Yeah.

[ That's all Yuya has to say. Something simple like that, that Kano can't bring himself to tell Toki because—- he's so selfish. He just doesn't want to give Toki any more reason to hate him. ]

I'll check up on you tomorrow, okay? Would that be okay?

[hippocarnival]

Okay. [Tomorrow, today, Yuya's too heavy to think about how much longer they do or don't have. He has to calm down. Find a way to tell Toki. Put together a shrine, a proper memorial for...

Yuya steps back, twisting around suddenly and ducking down to snatch up the broken horn. It's the last piece of Tsuyukusa left, and he can't leave it to get picked up by anything else.]

[suddenlybees]

[ Kano breathes out sharp when Yuya tears away, and while he instinctively reaches out to grab his arm or something, he stops himself short and lets it happen. It's a stupid idea to take it, the voice in the back of his head says. Let him have what makes him feel better, pipes up the front of his mind. But would keeping that make him feel better or worse?

It's his decision. Kano would have destroyed it, like he plans to return and get rid of all that blood and scraps of cloth after he takes Yuya back to the dorms. ]

[hippocarnival]

[Yuya's hand shakes, but he only grips it tighter as he straightens back up. He stalls for a moment, then turns to Kano with a fragile, watery smile on his face.]

I'll... make sure he gets a really good shrine. He'd probably prefer a burial, right? [Since he's a nature spirit, return to the earth vs getting burnt into ashes. They can bury the last piece of Tsuyukusa they have.]

[suddenlybees]

[ Right... Kano has no idea what Tsuyukusa would prefer, but that only reminds him of the grim task of finding what happened to Tsuyukusa's body later, after he's gotten Yuya home. Thank you Rex for taking care of the body and sparing Kano that... ]

Mm... A little shrine, and I'll write a eulogy or something, I guess.

[hippocarnival]

[Yuya nods, starting forward again so he can return to the dorm with Kano. If they didn't make his last day any better, they can do this much for him.]
