genessia | Sonico is Sorry [video and action]

[video]

*Sonico appears to be in some kind of bar or nightclub. Anyone who recognises the place will know that she's grsbbed herself a seat all alone at the Hangar Queen. She isn't dressed for a fun night out, nor does she look especially happy*

The thing is...

*As she starts to speak, she actually just seems downright miserable*

That's not the kind of woman I am. To anyone I met, or anyone I saw... I promise you. I'm a better person. I really am.

*She drops her gaze as she keeps trying to convince herself, and takes a drink from her bottle of beer*

And Mobius - he - He's a good man. He's a wonderful man. We all said and did things - I - Please. He is a good, good man. Forgive him for the actions that he did not fully realise he was committing...

*Then she stares away at some unknown spot and is too slow at wiping her eyes, a few tears escaping and splashing down her cheeks*

I'm sorry... I'm so sorry.

[Action]

For anyone wanting to find her, or anyone already in the Hangar Queen, Sonico is that girl sitting on her own, half way through one of those buckets of beers that are supposed to be shared with several friends.

How?

*Uh oh. There are more tears now and they threaten to spill*

H-how did that happen...? I want it to go away...all this knowing how horrible we've been...

Well.

[ Ducks his head a little. Like he doesn't really want to say it. ]

People attacking others. Shaking down stores. Violence. Even murder.

I don't think ... what you did was really on that same level, you know?

Well... It is what it is. [he shrugs, noticing how much Sonico has gone through. hopefully the bartender was responsible. drinking when you were depressed... he's been there.] You got what you needed to say off your chest.

...

Don't forget to drink water. [he's no bartender, nor is he Tifa. but he hoped she could get it out of her system. sometimes people needed to do this.]

I believe so if what I've seen on the feeds gives any indication.

[Namur tilts his ear toward the camera.]

Well I ain't gonna drag it outta y', sweetheart.

*Sonico drains the last of her bottle of beer and takes a deep breath. She doesn't quite look at the screen*

I was horrible... I was awful... And I - Oh, I know it's stupid, but it hurts to think that people might believe that I'm a horrible nasty person...

I wish so, too. I hate having that in my head. Having him in my head.

[ Normally he would now have advice, or at least preach about duty and the need to keep going. Tonight he just shakes his head sadly. ]

I don't know how we can move on from this, Sonico.

[He's trying really hard not to look skeptical.]

'Kaaaay. Seriously havin' a hard time thinkin' a what kinda shit y' mighta done t' make people think that, but listen. Here's the thing. Folks is gonna think whatever shit they wanna think, whether 's true or not. Even if y's a hunnerd percent the nicest person an' y never did nothin' t' hurt nobody, someone's gonna find a way t' get hurt by y' or dislike y' an' call y' a phony. So screw 'em. They don't know y'. They don't know what y's goin' through. Y' can have a bitch day an' still be a nice person, a'ight?

A lot of us were different.

I think my alternate self might've been the better person.

*Sonico just shakes her head and fiddles with her beer bottle*

Really...? How so?

*That's what she was waiting for - for some sort of signal that things were able to go back to normal*

Me neither...

*Then her voice breaks and she has to cover her face with a hand*

It is... It is what it is. I've got it off my chest.

*Said in a rather flat tone. She drained the rest of her beer before sighing heavily and pulling a glass of water toward her*

That means... everything will be okay now...? Doesn't it...?

*Sorry, Namur. She wants to talk, but it's just hard*

It.. it wasn't just a bitch day. It was several bitch days. Where I - I wasn't a good person at all and I -

*Sonico takes a deeper breath, swallowing it like she's struggling for air and closing her eyes tight shut*

People died, Namur...

*Sonico looks down, immediately ashamed. When he mentions murder, she looks back at him suddenly with a loud gasp and a hand over her mouth. She didn't committ any murder herself but... it's too close to the bone so she just stares for a moment with big sad eyes*

When people die, they have to pay a price come back.
I sacrificed memories of someone important to me.

Alternate me sacrificed my voice instead, which was really inconvenient.

[At that, both his brows shoot up. Those are not the words he expected to hear coming out of her mouth.]

Shit.

[He blinks a few times, shaking off his surprise.]

A'ight, tell me what happened, mmkay? Much as y' can, even though it's hard... Oh. Hang on.

[Namur switches to a private line.]

'Kay. Now tell me what the hell happened.

... What did I say?

[ Genuine concern now. ]

[that's a question he's not sure he has the right answer to. he's still so new here, still trying to figure everything out himself. maybe he made the wrong call in trying to reach out to her, even on a whim. but...]

Yeah. It will be. [...at least Cloud tried.]

[ Cassian makes a soft, pained noise. ]

I'm sorry.

[ It hurts to see Sonico so hopeless, makes him wish he were there so he could hold her, though he has no comforting words. ]

You're not alone.

Why you shaking your head?

Oh... I understand.

*Sonico nods sympathetically*

Did you...like having your memories back though?

*When she speaks, her voice seems detached and her eyes drift off to gaze at nothing in particular*

Those people... They - they approached me and... they were... inappropriate. And Mobius... Mobius killed them and -

*Okay no, the last bit is more of a mumble as she covers her face with her hands*

And I - I liked it when he did.

*Sonico doesn't say any more. She just stares down at the glass of water in front of her and nods her head in understanding. He may be a complete stranger to her, but it makes it almost easier for her to accept his words*

The murder.

*Her eyes stay wide and she shakes her head as if trying to get rid of the imagine in her mind*

I didn't. I didn't. But someone... someone did. And we're sorry. We're so sorry.
