(Note: Terry gave Kido his phone. Bought his own flipphone on 8/26!)

He has a stall set up in the market street for locating things. Feel free to thread it out with an inbox action thread or handwave it!

[-UM?]

A crushed heart-?!

[overstrain]

... Right. Um.

[ He doesn't quite remember if he told Sasuke already. All the stress has been making him forget more easily and he looks a bit frustrated at that. ]

I, uh... don't die, so.

[ ... ]

Ta-da...?

[ ??? ]

[not_that_sasuke]

[He definitely didn't! It takes Sasuke a moment to wrestle his surprise down from that new piece of information.

It... It does make sense, now that he thinks about it, but...]

They... definitely couldn't have known about that though, right? The workers at the hospital, I mean.

[overstrain]

I don't really make it a habit of telling people that I don't die, so... they shouldn't have known. I'm pretty sure I didn't tell them anything about it. That makes it even weirder, doesn't it?

[ Seriously, who'd want to taste their valuable hospital supplies trying to revive a person whose heart was crushed?? ]

[not_that_sasuke]

...So if they thought they could heal you from that, then...

[It's not so surprising they'd take in three people who by all rights should have died.

Still.]

Are the townspeople here really just normal people?

[overstrain]

[ Terry is great at twisting things, because he doesn't want to spout the fact that anyone legitimately died and was gone forever to anyone. ]

They're pretty normal, all things considered. But they sometimes tend to ignore the weirder things.

[not_that_sasuke]

Yeah, but...

I wonder what makes them act like that?

[It's actually pretty strange to behave so normally when things are... so very not.]

[overstrain]

... I'd like to know too, but I don't think we'll ever find out unless someone tells us.

[ He smiles a little, even though it's hard. ]

Go ahead and visit them. I think I need some time to myself now.

[ He'll hand Sasuke a water bottle. Stay hydrated in the summer, boy. ]

[not_that_sasuke]

...Right. Sorry for bothering you.

[He's glad he found out, but... He wishes he didn't have to.]

I'll be going now.

[He's also going to check in on Terry as much as he can, but in subtler ways, stopping by to see the state of the house and maybe send Kurou to peek in some windows to see if he seems to be doing alright.]

[overstrain]

Take care, Sasuke.

[ Terry gives him a small headpat before he leaves. ]
