066 + Give unto me all that frightens you. I'll have your nightmares for you if you sleep soundly

Unhackable
There is fear in the air. Crush it. Manipulate it. Make it your own.

Listen. Your body cries out in protest. Agony doesn't come close.

Breathe. The poisonous fumes of doubt will suffocate you.

Move. Confuse them. Irritate them. Let them make mistakes.

Want it, crave it, need it, love it, crush it, smash it, burn it.
Sadistic, sadistic, stimulate my heart

I can't laugh like I used to
I'm not the same person who loved him
Not the same child who held him as he crumbled to dust.

That pain in my arm - I can still feel it today. Where you grabbed me and made me swear - swear to live. I only thought one thing - How can I live without you? That became my sickness, my obsession. I never wanted it to stop hurting. I never wanted to let go of that feeling. No matter how often I ripped open my skin, you were never there.

Now it doesn't hurt. I go days without thinking of you. My mind is full of different people. Is this okay? Is it ok to forget you? Once, you were my whole world. Now you collect dust. This isn't right - yet it is. Isn't it? This is what you wanted for me, isn't it?

So much is based on guesswork. So much I won't ever learn. If everything happens for a reason, was I born to meet you, to have you become my reason for existence, only to have you snatched away? Is it right that I find other people to live for? Can I do that?

I don't know... I don't understand. Has it been so long? Or do I really not understand you? I thought I knew everything about you. Your pains, your aches, your loves, your everything. I thought I knew all of your reactions, how you felt about everything. I preserved everything I remember of you. Now... I search, and I see nothing. I reach out, and touch nothing but smoke and ash. These material bodies I cling to, their heartbeats in my ear, their hair, their smells, their skin - all of that I need; I am so pathetic that I need other people in order to survive. But still, I would give it all up just to be able to hold your hand and have your fingers flex around mine once more.

No... That's not entirely true. That's built from a longing I've had since I was a child. It's a sad, cruel world, where the people you miss the most, only move when you make them.

I don't understand... My art hasn't changed. I still make puppets. The puppet of Schuldig is complete. But these people - Suzaku, Farfarello, Zack, Miwako, Claire, Lin, and even little Cherry, I wouldn't dare make puppets even in their likenesses. Dolls, yes. Puppets, no. Why? Is it only after I lose someone that I need to recreate them? Maybe.




I have a question, open to the general public. Say someone close to you dies. Is it ok, after a year, two years, maybe, say, twenty years, to feel as though they've been replace? No. Not replaced, just... that their space has finally been filled? Should you feel guilty, glad, or sad?

It's interesting. Twenty years later, lord knows how many memories later, how many lovers, fights, tormenting, I feel like I've moved past something.

I'm not sure how to feel. But I'd like to know the answer, because I think I've replaced someone who isn't even dead. I feel guilty about it, to be honest.

I don't know what to think. I don't want it ever to stop hurting, because if it hurts, then I feel as though I still miss him and I still love him... but living with that ache has been killing me. Now I feel so alive - even though I'm dead - and I don't know if I'm supposed to feel guilty or not.

I'm not sure either. It's a complicated thing. You're happy, because it feels nice to have found others, but at the same time it feels sad and like you're betraying the other person.

Exactly. For so many years, this person was the center of my life; everything I did revolved around him. Now the puppet I made of him is gathering dust in the corner of my workshop.

Why should you? For someone who got pissy with me after I told him I was over three hundred years old, you really seem to lack a grip on this concept. Why should you? It's pointless.

Just because you've finally moved on and allowed yourself to heal, it doesn't mean you don't love that person any longer, or any less, Sasori~ It's all right to love new people. Please don't feel guilty. Life is about being happy. It's good. ♥

Sasori is a person, too. He has every right to heal and be happy, even if he's the one who ultimately hurt himself. You're born with the privilege of being able to be happy, you know, and I don't think anyone could ever lose that ability~

Everyone does things that they later regret, or things that later cause them a lot of pain, and even though they brought it upon themselves sometimes, it's still okay, because wasn't that an experience?

I think it's better to move on and be happy if you can, Sasori, instead of feeling so guilty... even if you are. ♥ It's okay.

I don't know... I want to move on and be happy, because moving on and being happy means I'm actually healthy for once. I mean to say, for so long, for twenty years, I couldn't think of him without pain. I thought that pain meant that I still felt bad for what I did, that I still remembered him, and that what I did still hurt me.

Besides, to say that people are born with the privilege of being happy is not always right. Sometimes people are born for other reasons. If I was born to meet someone, what happens when they die? Or was I born so that I could live a life no one would ever want to live, just so that I could die and have all the capability and reason to cling to these new people that mean so much to me?

Sasori... Miwako never thought she had to say this to you. You live your life. It's about yourself. You can remember him without feeling pain; that's the best way to remember anyone. And you can feel bad for what you did, too, and maybe you should. But you can't just go along living unhappily because of one instance. Your life is supposed to be about Sasori Being Happy, not Sasori Being Regretful. It's okay to feel bad, but don't let that bad feeling control your most important thing, your happiness... I think that's a bigger crime than anything. I mean it.

I don't think you were born for those things. Sasori's done a lot of stuff in his life, but he has a wonderful personality, and Miwako thinks he's a genius. You were born to be you and you leave a big impact on people around you. You shouldn't feel guilty.

One instance?! Miwako, I killed my teacher! The man who raised me, took me in, accepted everything of me, created comfort zones for me, did everything he could for my happiness, and I killed him! Like he was nothing to me! How can I not feel bad for that!? It's as though I turned around and stabbed Zack, or Suzaku, or Farfarello, or you, after all you all have done for me!

Where is that wayward psychopathic weirdo I call my damn boyfriend?!

You should feel bad for that!! But you shouldn't let it govern your happiness, Sasori! Would you do it again~?

That's what matters!!

If you had never ever done that, you wouldn't be who you are right now! Even if you aren't happy right now, and you feel hurt and bad and unhappy and regretful, you don't always need to be that way, because you grow and mature and learn from every single second in your life!

You wouldn't do it again, Sasori. ♥ You're allowed to be happy and still regret things.

That's a nice sentiment and all, but you're not me, you're not my teacher. You don't know him. And you've never killed anyone in your life. Would you be able to move on if you killed your sister?

Um...hello...Pesche doesn't know if this is an appropriate time to speak to Sasori-san, since his thingie is private today, but since you are a friend of Nel-sama's, hopefully you will at least hear me out.

I have spent all this week refurbishing the abandoned barber shop including reinforcing the walls with a special kind of plaster made from monster bones (it is supposed to be made with hollow bones, but I think the monsters here will be good enough). In Hueco Mundo, this is what most free arrancar make their dwellings out of. However, there is no paint in Hueco Mundo, so mostly they use Huesorelieve to decorate their houses. This is a kind of bas-relief carving done on the plaster, which is very suitable for it because it comes out almost like wood in when it sets. In any case, I heard you were a master wood-carver, so I thought, since you are a friend of Nel-sama's, maybe I could give you a commission to make such a carving in the interior of the shop when it is otherwise finished. I...I don't have any money right now, but I would be willing to give you a %15 share in the shop if you would do this for me. I have something in mind I'd like carved, but I'd like to know if you're willing to do it before I tell you what it is I'd like, because it's a bit personal. So...just think it over for now.

You are just too special.

First of all, you should establish a business with paying customers before you try and commission me. I like my work to last a while, and if the business is just going to go bust, it would be a waste of my time and effort.

Second, your paragraph was so long it nearly broke my brain.

Ah...I am very sorry. I thought...perhaps for Nel-sama's sake, if not for mine.

The plaster I am using is only good for carving just after in has set, then it becomes too hard...I am very sorry for having bothered you then.

Yes...well, for now she is. I guess I will consider it. Thank you for not being too upset with me.

((OOC: Heh. It actually means "the corpse having been heard" or "the heard corpse". "Corpse listener" would be "auditor somum". Corpse herder would be "appellator somum". I'm sorry I'm so pedantic...I honestly think its a disease))
