[ it's been a rough month for jessica — thanks to her arrival and reliving her traumatic memories with the devil himself. in between all of her alcohol consumption, she's had time to think because sadly, even hard liquor can't always numb the pain.

it's almost midnight, and she finds herself posting on the network. there's no username attached; she prefers anonymity for this topic. well, here goes nothing. ]

if someone's dead back home, is there any chance they can show up here?

and what if they're the goddamn devil? will the cops do something about it?

serious answers only. not in the mood for bullshit.

might be. does it matter?

[unbreaker]

wouldn't ask if it didn't.

[Killing isn't Josuke's style, but he's not about to look down on those who've been forced to go to those lengths themselves. Especially a stranger whose history he knows nothing about.]

all i'm saying is this...
if this person is as bad as they sound and you took care of them, then you were probably doing a lot more than helping yourself.

also means you can probably do it again if it becomes necessary.

[hardedged]

it will if the piece of shit ever shows up.

[unbreaker]

yeah. just don't forget that other thing.

take care of yourself, too.

[hardedged]

thanks, mom. never knew you cared.

[unbreaker]

just don't see the point of throwing away your life because of some asshole

especially in this place. they can just come back, and then it's not just a stinking shit pile you gotta deal with, it's a stinking shit pile on fire.

[hardedged]

so if death doesn't stick, then what?

[unbreaker]

then you gotta stick.

and you do what you gotta do.

[Hence the emphasis on self care, because lax punishments or not, any time spent with your hands tied is time that you can't do shit about the assholes running free.]

helps to have someone who's got your back, too. maybe you got that. maybe you don't. maybe you will.

just something to keep in mind.

[hardedged]

got it. you can stop the life coach crap now.

[unbreaker]

my bad. it's just that some people show up and don't know what options they got and i've been here a while.

but hey, for what it's worth, good luck. hope you don't run into the same situation here.

[hardedged]

sure

[ rude and dismissive. nice. 👍 ]
