Week 4, Friday: Reaper Detectives -1

[withsadness]

[So, here they are at Worth Every Penne. It's only the right thing to do after today's discovery. Mary isn't in a very talkative mood and she doubts the rest of them are, especially Alex or Izaya...but they need to. Because they have a job. She stares down at her plate with her hands twisting up a napkin, hair covering her face. She speaks, but it's almost to herself.]

I didn't think it would take this long, but because it did...I thought we'd all make it.

[At first, Mary feels like she doesn't want to hug...but she can't be mean to Ichigo, so she leans her head against him, her fists bawling in his shirt, instead.]

Where do we go from here?

[Everything feels...different now that one of them is gone.]

I don't want...to end up alone again if we make a mistake.

[He would have understood if she'd pushed him away - but she didn't, and for that?

He's very grateful.

He lifts his hand to the back of her head, stroking it gently.]

We'll see what happens after the trial, alright? But...remember how we know that we need more time to figure out what the Composer wants?

We're running out of it, right now. And...if we don't figure it out, then everyone...then Jacopo really will be Erased.
