Yes, he did.

[She looks like she wants to say more, but she stops herself there.]

[fallbymyhands]

[Mitsuru notices, and she hesitates before pushing forward]

What happened to him afterwards?

[she's pushing, she knows she's pushing. but she has to know. for Ryoji's sake. . . and for Lilith's sake, too]

[backspacing]

You have seen Lillith. I think you know what happened.

[fallbymyhands]

I know.

[god, she doesn't want to think of someone as bright (and annoying, admittedly) as Ryoji turning into something like Lilith]

But after he was turned into. . . that. What happens to those people? I don't see any others like Zaberisk around the camp.

They're dead, Mitsuru. What do you think happens to dead bodies after a while?

[fallbymyhands]

They decay.

[the answer is curt and blunt. so even then, Ryoji hadn't been allowed to continue existing. it seems fate would never be kind to him, no matter the universe]

Or get eaten, or sink to the bottom of the lake and never get found.

But you get the idea.

[fallbymyhands]

I do.

[god]

You know. . . quite a bit about me, don't you, Red?
