Hotaru
“I’m glad you did,” is all she can impart, sincerity and appreciation a more effective tool than empty platitudes and regrets. For all the knotted strings of their ties to each other, Hotaru would miss him if he were gone. More than she initially would have expected.
“I’d ask Frey for a special lotion before I ever turned wrinkly. Raisins may be delightful, but I’d prefer not to look like the space between a man’s thighs when I go to Mort.” Mischief twinkles in her eyes, crassness unapologetic. Though it’s summarily startled out of her by the shock of cold against her feet. Remi’s muttered apology is swift on the heels of it, but whatever had caused his reaction isn’t something she can accurately parse. It vexes her.
His sentiments are sweet enough to ease even that, too. Doubly vexing. His cuteness is contagious. “I care about you as well. And - ” she intends to say more, but any words die as their surroundings - or perhaps just what she can see? - jolt like a bad connection. Hotaru reaches for Remi’s arm, grip firm and expression narrowing, intent. “Something’s wrong -”
And then she wakes up to screams.
