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.]

[ there's a pause. he never raises his voice or loses his calm; every word he says is in the same steady tone. ]

I remember when my eyes first changed color. To be honest, I was really uncomfortable. I wore sunglasses for weeks because I didn't want anyone staring at my eyes.

The position you're in is so much worse than my own. But if I know even a little bit of how hard it is for you, then... I'd like to help keep your mind off it, or whatever you prefer right now.

[It's not the same at all. Even knowing, however deep down, that he doesn't mean to equate the two, there's a little jerk in her brain to that effect.]

This isn't really a forget and forgive situation, but I'd never turns down your company, cutie.

[There's basically none of the usual tease or joy in her voice anymore, thought.] You know, I was happy to just ignore all of this and go on with my life. There's really no doing that one now, huh?

... to be honest, I wouldn't ask you to forgive or forget. They've done something horrible to you. You have every right to be angry. And ... no. I think they've never intended to simply let us go on with our lives.

Is there somewhere you'd like me to meet you?
