Entry 001

Sender: Kazuma Asogi
To: Everyone
Subject: Apology

A few days ago, a coward led some people uninvolved in the situation to confront me in the forest, despite being aware of how dangerous that was. I would like to take this moment to apologize to those that I've caused harm to. It was not my intent and that outburst won't happen again.

Locked To: Castmates Only
If you're worried I will come after the Prosecutor again, don't be. I have questions that need answers, not from that man.

Locked To: Soldier: 76
76. How are you doing? And are you available to meet?

[ Funny thing about telling a story like that: it tends to leave you a little dehydrated. Susato wasn't expecting it either, but once she started, she couldn't stop--even though she had inadvertently left out a few things (case in point, Soseki Natsume's role). She clears her throat. ]

...Yes. [ To both. ] He told us everything.

He named her after my mother... Iris.
judicialassistant: (smile)

[ She nods. At this, her face brightens just a smidge. ]

We lived with her and Mr. Sholmes. [ In the attic, mind you, but details. ] ...He was the one my father trusted to raise her. She really is a bright little girl.
judicialassistant: (bow)

[ Susato tilts her head. It's hard for her to know what he may be thinking nowadays, but she just knows he would be impressed, too, if only he could meet her. ]

...Well. My apologies. I know that was probably more than you bargained for.

[ She bows. ]

...Shall we put everything in the stove?
judicialassistant: (closed eyes)

[ She follows him to offer her help, though she doesn't expect that it's needed. ]

Yes... [ Susato agrees with a sigh. ] Originally, father told me he had fallen ill. Almost two months at sea and all I could think about was his condition, and whether I'd make it in time. He still owes me for that one, I think.

[ She's not mad (mad). ]
judicialassistant: (proud)

[ Her expression lightens considerably at that. Maybe she finds comfort in the flames that the push the tray into. Her hands certainly linger upon them long enough, enjoying their warmth... but she gently shuts the door, so that the metal contraption may do what it is designed to do. ]

We did it!

[ For a moment, it's like she's back in the kitchen with Iris. ]
judicialassistant: ([fa] soft)

[ She stretches as she walks away from the stove, like she's ready to hunker down and wait; but she nods at his question. ]

That's right. He owns a flat on Baker Street and let us set up our office in his attic.

[ ...no judgement. ] It was quite cozy to come home to, after a long day.
judicialassistant: (thinking)

[personal profile] judicialassistant 2021-11-23 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ Yeah, they legitimately mourned you, bro. It was pretty messed up!! But. You know, they've moved past all that now, bridge under the water and all that. ]

Perhaps you will meet him again one day?

...Did you say you have met him before?

[ Didn't he mention him before... hmmm. ]
judicialassistant: (disappoint)

[personal profile] judicialassistant 2021-11-24 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
...Oh, dear. [ There's that feeling again. Like he's not telling her everything. But no, it's not 'cause of that, it's 'cause...... she loves Sholmes, but she also knows Sholmes. ] He was terribly vague, wasn't he?
judicialassistant: (concern)

[personal profile] judicialassistant 2021-11-25 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
[ She nods to confirm, as if it was needed. ]

We didn't think to question him at the time, despite our disbelief. But... to be fair, I think his heart was in the right place.
judicialassistant: (proud)

[personal profile] judicialassistant 2021-11-25 03:52 pm (UTC)(link)
...You did. [ There is a tired smile, as she recalls the concern with which he gave Ryunosuke the Karuma. ] Though, I think I could have figured it out, even if you didn't. You were not yourself, but your heart was in the right place, too.
judicialassistant: (me?)

[personal profile] judicialassistant 2021-11-26 07:10 am (UTC)(link)
[ Susato would have likely thought she imagined it, if she hadn't felt it before. A gentle heartbeat, like a discord in Kazuma's heart that was trying to tell her something--or rather, trying to hide something. Gosh, that was going to keep happening, wasn't it?

While it should have been easy to agree with him, she finds that it... isn't. ]


...Do you think there is enough to share with father as well? I think he would be proud that we worked together on it.
judicialassistant: (point)

[ Psh. Pssshhh. Who does he think he's talking to? She smiles warmly in return, gently pulling out a notebook from her sleeve, seemingly from out of nowhere. ]

That won't be necessary. You know I always come prepared... but if you'd like to dictate, I'd be happy to listen.

[ Always. But first, food. She sets the notebook down where she presumes she'll be sitting, and then walks around to nose about any cabinets or drawers, to see what she has to work with in terms of containers, plates, and utensils. ]
