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.

*Sonico just keeps her eyes on the table as she nods her head slowly*

I really hope not...

And ... what you did ... it wasn't really that bad, either.

I mean. Considering.

[ He looks like he's feeling rather badly for her. ]

Considering...? Considering what?

*Sonico tilts her head and looks at him with appealing eyes. She does really just want someone to tell her that it's all okay*

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?

*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*

... What did I say?

[ Genuine concern now. ]

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.

You're not responsible for someone else's actions, my dear.

[ Gently, gently. Looks rather sympathetic. ]

Please. Don't take that on yourself. All right?

But - but I -

*But no. She wasn't going to say too much, not to someone she doesn't know. It's easier to stop what she's doing and take another sip of beer, shoulders drooping*

Alright...

[ He sighs, seeing that defeated slump in her posture. ]

Sorry. I don't mean to overstep. We haven't even spoken before, I realize.

... Do you have anyone you can talk to, about this?

Oh, no. I don't mind. You've been very kind.

*Sonico stares at the bottle in her head as she figures how to answer*

I suppose I do... but I don't want to waste their time and I - I don't want them to be disappointed in me...

I try.

[ Tilts his head a little. Gently again: ]

If they care about you - hearing about your problems, in their opinion, isn't wasting their time. That's why people have friendships, people they can lean and rely on. It shares the burden, doesn't it?

And, as I've pointed out - a lot of people had their personalities change. I doubt they would be disappointed in something you couldn't control, my dear.

*Sonico spent a few more moments staring at her hands in her lap, listening carefully and nodding gravely*

Mmm... I hope you are right.

...thank you.

You're very welcome.

My name is Takumi Terasu, by the way. I wish we could've met under happier circumstances.

*Sonico gives a half smile and nods*

My name is Sonico. It's nice to meet you.

Likewise.

Good luck, Sonico.
