[ kate has been silent since the end of execution, her body language giving very little away.
but after some time, it looks like she's returned to the graveyard, looking silently out at where the battle was just fought. and finally, she speaks. ]
[ yuffie's also been quiet as she's approached. she has learned from context cues to be quiet when other people are quietly mourning the dead, and... well, frankly, she's mourning them too. ]
Nope. Just disappeared, like everything else.
[ nevermind that bodies disappear in ff7 unless it's a dramatique cutscene ]
Violations of the rules are punished swiftly and severely, even if it means choosing a scapegoat. People's minds are influenced by sinister means. There are... rituals.
[ ... ]
We never really got to mourn the dead back there. I'm glad that's different here.
Good. I'm sure there are other like-minded people around. When we had our own revolution, it started with a few, too. Then it grew and grew. So keep at it. I'm sure you can make it happen.
And don't forget you've got a powerful ally right here. [ pumps fist into the air!! she does not even add "for materia"... this time ]
Yeah. So, there's this greedy ass company called Shinra Electric Power Company where I come from. They're bleeding the planet dry, they've killed countless people and invaded other countries to take their land and their resources. Even killed their own as coverups.
My home, Wutai, is one of those places. We were at war for years, because those assholes came at us. Thousands of my people died. Then, one day, the geezers in charge made a deal with 'em, to put the war on hold. A ceasefire. The rest of us were pissed. We wanted to fight back! And at first, we couldn't do anything about it. But then some deserters from Shinra came over, sick of the way Shinra ran things. With their help, we came together and formed the interim government. And bam! Revolution.
When all this is over, our plan is to give the power back to the people. So all the citizens of Wutai can decide what kind of country we want to be.
Yeah. Besides, it's Shinra. [ as if kate would know anything about shinra ] Even if they agreed to a ceasefire for now, there's no way they're not going to pull something the first chance they get. They already blame us for everything.
[ she's very bitter about this ]
Is the manor your real home, Kate? [ or is she just staying there for now ... ]

They didn't leave any bodies, did they.

[ nevermind that bodies disappear in ff7 unless it's a dramatique cutscene ]
... You okay, Kate?
no subject
I was more worried about you, though...
[ since yuffie sure. had some strong reactions about our hoyos. ]
no subject
You're used to this?
[ bruh ]
Like, the whole screwed up trial and execution thing? Monster possession? Corpses popping up? [ all of the above? ]
no subject
[ ... ]
The others... less so.
no subject
[ it just comes out, her eyes widen a bit ]
Really? You've been dealing with this all your life?
[ aaaa ]

[ kate's canon is a murdergame ]
So it's really just the same crap you've been through at home? That's... so messed up. And you can't leave?
no subject
That's right. Only those who become adults can leave the house.
no subject
... No wonder you're so calm about this. Because you have to be, right? Because it's the same thing, over and over again.
no subject
I haven't given up, though. We were making progress...
no subject
[ !!! ]
no subject
Even here, I was afraid to speak about it... It's dangerous to be exposed.
no subject
So good for you. You got anyone you can trust to help?
no subject
I've been gathering more and more allies gradually... Most of it is thanks to my attendant, Emilico.
no subject
no subject
... May I ask about your revolution?
no subject

Is the manor your real home, Kate? [ or is she just staying there for now ... ]

Aren't ya fighting for it, too?
