[ It's around midnight when this gets posted to the Network. While that isn't late for most imPorts, it's quite late for Haru herself. ]

Father's Day is soon. It might be a bit of a ridiculous thought, but I wonder how many of us really reflect on our relationships with our fathers during this time.
To be completely honest, it didn't occur to me how much I would be thinking about it myself. It feels rather silly, but... at the same time I am sure many of us have complex relationships with them.
Mine has long passed, although I can't help but think about all the things left unsaid and undone. He hurt and used people for personal gain, but toward the end he was going to try and make amends for the things he did.
I feel I should be mourning him in spite of everything, though it has been so long I do not even know where to begin.
... I am sorry, does that make sense?


( ooc: haru is no tech expert, so for those who would know how if they want to uncover who anon is, please just ask first. for those who would know/figure out it's haru, feel free to have them ask. )

[ Text ] [ not anon ]

Wherever you start's probably good.
There's no wrong way to mourn.

anon + text forever

[girlybruiser]

Can you be so certain?
He is still my father... was. I suppose I must pay my respect in some manner.

[axeboyfriend]

I know a thing or two about mourning.
I don't think it's a matter of you HAVE to pay respects, but it's obvious you care.
I think grieving is more coming to terms with your own feelings than it is what you may or may not owe the other guy
They're dead, they don't care anymore.
But you're still here. It's okay to not be okay.

[girlybruiser]

My own feelings?
I had not thought of it that way before.

[axeboyfriend]

Yeah. Grieving's a process, and it's okay to take your time with it.
It's a very personal thing.

[girlybruiser]

If you don't mind my saying so, it sounds as if you have some experience with it.

[axeboyfriend]

That's because I do.
I've lost a couple of people in my life.
It hurts like hell, and it never really stops.
But it gets easier to keep going.

[girlybruiser]

I am very sorry you have had to go through that.
I believe that in a sense as well. That it gets easier, I mean.
My father's passing never stopped me from doing what I needed to do.

[ Even if she felt trapped for a while and unsure of what steps she should be taking. ]

[axeboyfriend]

You're doing fine already then, anon.
If it helps you, then you might try doing something in honour of your dad?

[girlybruiser]

You're very kind. Thank you.
Yes... something like that might be best. I haven't the slightest idea yet, but I am certain it will come to me.

[axeboyfriend]

I wouldn't go THAT far.
When you find the right thing, you'll know. Just keep an eye out for what it might be.

[girlybruiser]

Truly, Aragaki-san!
There is more to you than meets the eye, isn't there?

[axeboyfriend]

[ Aragaki-san? He suddenly wonders if he knows this anon... but he won't say anything for now. ]

Tch. Not really.
What you see is what you get with me.

[girlybruiser]

So more like an open book?

[axeboyfriend]

I wouldn't go that far.
More like I don't got time for bullshit.

[girlybruiser]

[ Ha, that's fair. ]

It's not a bad way to be at all.

[axeboyfriend]

Well, that's good.
I don't really know how to be any other way.

[girlybruiser]

Out of curiosity (and you do not need to feel obligated t answer this) were the losses you experienced here or back home?

[axeboyfriend]

I don't mind.
It was back home.

[girlybruiser]

Then...
There is always the possibility of those people being ported here.

[axeboyfriend]

[ He suddenly regrets not being anonymous. ]

One of 'em showed up for a little bit.
But she's gone again.

[girlybruiser]

Again?
... has Kirijo-san already been ported out?

[ She doesn't know who he could be talking about, but she also forgets she's supposed to be anonymous. ]

[axeboyfriend]

[ He's making a mental note of that. ]

I haven't spoken to her recently.
But I don't mean her, she's not dead.
It was someone else.

[girlybruiser]

My condolences.
For this place to bring people and then send them back... it must keep everyone on their toes.

[axeboyfriend]

It is what it is.
