Fuda #35 [action/written]

[It's a quiet, sunny day in Luceti. At least, until Tsuzuki is unceremoniously returned from his Mallynapping and tossed into the lake. Hacking and coughing, he swims to shore. He doesn't care who hears him, all he wants is the attention of the robots.

It's not working out as well as he'd like.]

COME BACK! You can't just keep him there!

[After a lot of railing against the sky ~~since the Malnosso is not listening~~, Tsuzuki slinks home to dry up. People who follow the journal system will notice a comment written a while later.]

What day is it?

Mmm, in that case... I help myself.

I figured as much. Don't you get lonely?

No. [ Just homesick.

Well, he does get lonely, but it's completely wrapped up in homesickness. ]

[Considering that Tsuuki gets ridiculously homesick at times, too, he's not exactly believing Joshua.]

I do. I get so lonely it physically hurts sometimes.

Hisoka saves me from that. Why shouldn't I want to help him?

Because then he'll be so lonely it physically hurts, with the added guilt of knowing it's because of him that the one he cares most about is still suffering.

[The words sting. His voice softens.]

I try not to bother him when I feel like that. I know it's not good for him to feel that.

[Time to change the subject, because this is getting uncomfortable fast.]

You know that if you're ever in trouble, we'd help you too, right? You don't have to only rely on yourself.
