[ Mizuki freezes when Vi states it so plainly. Perhaps she should have just ripped off the band-aid and started with that. It's not as if Vi came off as some saint to abide by the rules, but there was still a part of Mizuki that didn't want to admit it.
There's another part of her that isn't even sure that's really what happened. But in the end, it must have been. ]
It just made it easier for him. For both of us. It's like I could control him. At least, his body. I've never felt anything like that before, even in my Psync sessions.
...And I've never killed. [ No matter what that parchment says. ]
[ She killed a man, Vi. For real this time. Not that Vi ever struck her as someone to lecture her on being a good person. The way she asked her if it was her first might also suggest... that she's also done it.
Still, she watches her expression soften out of bitch mode. ]
[ Mizuki didn't ever think she'd do it, either, she wants to argue. Not even to Saito. She'd always thought she'd been above all that, but apparently not.
...
......She doesn't feel like she can argue, so she's mostly quiet. ]
Doesn't feel good like it's supposed to, though. [ Isn't that always the lesson in those TV shows and books? ] I guess it doesn't matter now.
[ Listen close, and you can almost hear a pout in the protest. This probably isn't the first time she's had to say that to Vi, but it seems to bother her less and less. ]
[ WOW!!! Yeah, they're probably going to verbally argue about this, and how much Mizuki reeks, all the way to the shower. A welcome distraction like a band-aid over the entire chain of events.
She still doesn't have a home here, in any sense of the word that matters to her, but at least she still has somewhere to go. For now, she can't argue with that. ]

[Vi stays quiet for a minute, thoughtful.]
Yeah, whatever it was that was controlling us was trying to get the worst of us, wasn't it? Wonder if that was the point...
[she's just not too sure.]

Somehow I broke through it. [ Vi can guess the rest. ]
...That's what happened to that guy. [ Saito had said so, more or less. ]

she lets out a slow exhale and rearranges her face so that she looks less like a bitch.]
Well... let's get you washed up, okay? Maybe something to eat?

What if I snap at you, too?
no subject
Wouldn't be the first person to do that to me.
[and she doesn't love Jinx any less for being like that, honestly.]
But I can defend myself... and I don't think you'd do it anyway. That bastard had it coming.

[even though her temper still flares to uncontrollable levels, but it doesn't always feel good.]
But you'll be okay. You're a tough kid.

Just tough.
finish?
