06 | Video

[ It's obvious this is being filmed in one of the many temples, all cool hard stone behind her, and, given the subject matter of the video, most likely to be Hope's. Sharon does not look pleased. Furious might be the better descriptor but it's a calm sort of fury. There are a few spatters of dark blood on her cheeks, dried and cracking; old. She has no wounds just stains and memories. She leans in towards the lens and whispers: ]

So, which one of you fuckers killed me? [ Her killer could reply, he might not, but she won't stop until she finds him and returns the favor. ]

We simultaneously have a great deal of free time, and yet need to prepare for what might be thrown at us at a moments' notice. Still, I think a day to be good to yourself would be wise.

[Because self-care is important and a lot of people here seem to be awful at remembering to do that. She does quirk a little smile at Sharon's explanation.]

Ah. Happy hunting, then.

[ What is this self-care thing? Sharon's dad would be the one to force her to take care of herself back home. Now she has the to be the big girl and do it on her own—or maybe not as alone as she thinks. ]

Yeah, thanks.

I was going to work on some ink painting by the lake tomorrow in the early afternoon for an hour or two. You would be welcome to join me there for a while.

[She knows little about Sharon, but she remembers her artistic talent well. Hence the offer. The best way to encourage self-care is to lead by example.]

[ Sharon always feels weird at such offers. It's not as strange as it used to be but maybe it's a feeling she won't ever get over. Maybe it's a feeling embedded in her. ]

...I might stop by.

[Kindness isn't something Ikaruga's practiced at, despite being raised to be every bit as courteous as a lady should be. There's a difference, she thinks, between formalities versus actual kindness. Some people are just naturally compassionate. Ikaruga is not, but that doesn't mean she is devoid of empathy. She's been developing a little more of that in the time she's been trapped here. Unwillingly trapped or not, it's hard to be in the same small town of perhaps two hundred people or less, and not start thinking of them as being a community after being around them for months. So she can try to do a small nice thing.]

Wonderful. I will bring an extra snack with me, then.

[Because she's noticed the people bad at self-care are sometimes bad at remembering to eat, too.]

I... look forward to it, then. [ She doesn't. She wants to drown in the river but she has something to do, something to look forward to; something to keep her going. ]
