[prologue] post-investigation, w/ natsuo

[asswipe]

[Shortly after the investigation, Veronica's going to walk around the castle for a little bit just to... stretch her legs after that whole mess. Maybe check up on a couple of the people here, while she's at it. As such, she's giving Natsuo a very, very weary wave when she spots him.]

... Hey. I'd ask how it's going, but that's a stupid question, isn't it?

[Someone just died, after all.]

...Yeah. [ He laughs a little- a silent puff of air ] I think that's the most optimistic thing I've ever heard you say. But if you really really believe in it, I will too!

[She laughs, though it's a little hollow.]

I have my moments every now and then. [High school sucked her soul out, hit send.] Even if we're trapped here now, we can't afford to lose hope.
