9/27; general eye trauma warning

[eyestitch]

Nui Harime shared a video. 9/27

[It's definitely a video, but the camera appears to be filming...nothing? At best, it's pointed at a table, so most of the lens is obscured in darkness. Every so often in moves, revealing a small sliver of light and what appears to be some kind of spilled glass and drink is strewn across the floor.

Nui's voice, however, is clearly audible. No picture is needed for that. Also she is screeching, with increasing volume and emotion by the second.]

I'm blind I'm blind I'm blind I'm bliind I'm bliiiiIIIIIND I'm blind I'm blind I'M BLIND I'M BLIND I'M BLIND I'M BLIND IIII'M BLIND I'M BLIND I'M BLIND I'MBLINDI'MBLINDI'MBLIND IMBLINDIMBLINDIMBLINDIMBLIND IMBLINDIMBLINDIMBLINDIMBLINDIMBLIND!

[Heavy breathing for a few seconds.]

[ That's... definitely something, holy shit. ]

Woah. Do you need someone to call a doctor? Are you hurt?

[eyestitch]

[She screams about being blind a few more times before finally stopping, going dead silent, and continue in a tone of flat sarcasm. Possibly she is going into shock? Oh well.]

What good's a doctor gonna do? It's already gone!

[judgementkazzy]

[ This is made all the more horrifying when he considers that Majima probably went through the same thing, christ. ]

Oh... Does it hurt?

[eyestitch]

Yes!

[She's flailing a little bit, and the phone filming moves with that flailing. Then, everything goes completely still as Nui freezes.]

It doesn't, really. [Now that she stops to think about it.] But it's gone and it does! [Just off-screen, she scratches at what's left as if itching some phantom pain.]

[judgementkazzy]

Oh.

[ Yeah, it hadn't hurt Majima either, so that's probably lucky. He'll refrain from voicing that though because Nui just lost an eye. ]

Yeah, it's... [ He doesn't. Know what to say... ] Do you need an eye patch? My boyfriend has some.

[eyestitch]

You're gonna give me your boyfriend's eye patch? That's touching. I'm really fucking touched right now!

[She's stopped adding incremental exclamation points to the end of her sentences, at least, but it'll take longer for her to actually calm down from that kind of mutilation. What if she could just kill everyone at Retrospec? Would it stop, then?]

I've gotta do something about it!

[judgementkazzy]

I mean, he's got spares.

[ Maybe having a semi-normal conversation is?? Helping?? Somehow... ]

I think people have tried storming Retrospec before and they haven't had much luck. I don't know what else you could do.

[eyestitch]

[It's true, unfortunately, and she knows it's true, having heard the stories of people who tried to break into the building only to get limited information at best. They're sitting ducks, even when things like this happen.]

Thanks for rubbing it in!

Is your boyfriend this ignoramus telling me everything is just peachy-keen because I still have one eye?

[judgementkazzy]

[ Kiryu scrolls down... yep, there's Majima. He chuckles. ]

Yeah, that's him.

[ Delightful, ain't he. ]

Losing an eye isn't the worst thing he's had to remember, so I think he's just trying to look on the bright side here.

[eyestitch]

No offense slick, but your taste in guys totally sucks.

[Majima really isn't winning her over here. Nice that he's had to remember worse things, but she's just an innocent teenage girl who probably went to a school where people fight each other to the death. At least that's what her memories seem like...

That and the aliens.]

It's nice that they didn't take away the eye that can see the bright side, gosh, isn't it?

[judgementkazzy]

We'll have to agree to disagree.

[ Wow, his taste in guys is awesome!! The eyepatch look is very in this season.

And yeah, he's just gonna power on through that jab because Kiryu isn't going to argue with Nui. She just lost an eye. If ever there was a time to lash out, it's now. ]

I know this sucks, but you'll get through it. Your other self did, so you will too.

[ How is he this zen?? ]

[eyestitch]

I don't know anything about her! Hell, I'm probably nothing like her at all! People were always going after her for something! Kicking her out of school, stabbing her - !

I hate it! I hate it I hate it I HATE IT I HATE IT!

[In contrast, Nui is very not zen. She'd been almost calming down, but the reminder that everything that happens to her is dictated by the life of some trashy stranger in her dreams has her pulling at a pigtail again.]

[judgementkazzy]

[ Welp, that was the wrong thing to say, Kiryu! ]

Yikes... yeah, I guess that's fair.

Maybe you just don't understand where she's coming from yet?

[ Not! Helping! ]
