[okay he is here at the pyre, probably after everyone else runs at her in SHOCK!! PAZU!!!!!!!!!!
his emotions are an insane mess -- there's anger and fear and guilt, so much of it -- and also numb shock. he stands in front of this bubble and stares at her]
Lavi just. sits down on the grass in front of her bubble, pulled down by the weight of his horror and crushing confirmation, and then -- grief. at having tried and then this -- and Kate, who had to kill Scien of all people -- ]

[ ... there's a feeling of something cracking a little. ]
We couldn't talk outside, so we went into the nearest building.
no subject
[the sudden surge of grief when Kate says this is palpable and also the shock at hearing this -- but he tries to keep himself calm]
And then what happened?

[ those cracks keep coming. little blips of other emotions. until... ]
no subject
And then... and I...

...Why did this happen?
no subject
Maybe I was just fooling myself... thinking that I could be anything but a monster.
no subject
Even though you knew I could have hurt you, or refused to help you with your wish. A monster would have lied to me.
no subject
[ amidst the grief, a small glimmer of warmth. affection. ]
... I don't know what's going to happen. But if this is the end for me, I don't want you to go down with me. You understand, right?
no subject
...Yeah. I understand.
[he tried like an idiot last week at the last second. he knows he should be fresh out.]
You got more letters. ...I'll bring 'em to you.
no subject
no subject
he'll carefully press the letters against them,]
Can you read them?
no subject
Y, yes! I can.
... So it's Karlach and Rondo... [ fondness. ] It sounds like they had a party, too.
[ her mood lightens a little upon reading them... or maybe it's also because of lavi, awkwardly holding them up for her. or both. ]
no subject
Yeah? I wish we could see them too.
[why do the dead only get to voyeur....]
I bet that crowd gets real hectic during parties.
no subject
[ fond... ]
