[the]

HARDEST THING TO SAY MEME Sometimes the hardest things to say are also the most important. It doesn't matter how much it scares you to do so, it's finally time to be honest. - post as your character. - others go to RNG and roll numbers 1-22 then respond setting up a scenario. - respond and have fun! 01. I DON'T LOVE YOU ANYMORE Unfortunately, you can't keep lying to your partner/friend/family anymore. You just don't feel the same for them anymore. 02. I WOULD KILL YOU The person who means so much to you has done something completely unforgivable and now it's time to make sure they know where they stand. You would kill them if you ever got the chance. 03. I LOVE YOU, BUT... A bittersweet love confession. You know you love this person more than anything, but you're not sure you can give them what they need. 04. I DON'T TRUST YOU No matter how you feel about this person, you really can't trust them anymore. 05. SACRIFICE You're going to sacrifice yourself, for the person you're talking with or for the good of all humanity. You want them to know the reasons and that there's no stopping you. 06. TROUBLE You're in trouble and you might not make it through. You need to let at least one person know how you feel before it's too late though. 07. CRIME CONFESSION You did something you weren't proud of and now it's time to admit it. 08. DEMONS We've all got our demons and we've all got our own personal nightmares we have to face, but this time? You can't hold it all back. 09. I'M PREGNANT... Now's not the best time for it maybe or maybe you're just nervous how your partner will react, but they need to hear it. 10. BETRAYAL You've betrayed this person and you have to tell them the truth, no more running from it 11. CHEATED You've been unfaithful and it's time to tell your lover. 12. BROKEN That's it. You've had it. You are entirely broken and tired of everything. 13. AFRAID Something has you deathly afraid and you need to talk about it. 14. HELP ME You need someone to help you, bad. You can't do it alone anymore, you've tried. 15. I'M SORRY You said something or did something horrible and now it's time to ask for forgiveness. 16. YOU WERE A MISTAKE Sorry, but whoever you're talking to was the biggest mistake of your life or maybe it was just something you did together. 17. NOT WHO I SAY I AM You're so far from who they think you are, you need to finally tell the truth. 18. LET'S RUN AWAY You want to just get out, leave everything behind and be with this one person for the rest of your life. 19. ASHAMED Either you're ashamed of something they have done or something you did, either way you need to bring it up. 20. CAN'T REMEMBER The person standing in front of you looks so happy to see you, so relieved, but how do you tell them you can't remember a thing about them? 21. HOW COULD YOU You don't understand how they could treat you like they have, do what they have done when you've done nothing but be good to them. 22. YOUR CHOICE Either choose an option from above, mix and match, or make up your own idea.

quick tag before work

[revolutionized]

[Utena catches the fragile note to Mami's voice, and hesitates. She isn't sure again, what to say or do to fix things, but it doesn't seem right, to leave everything like this. To go without offering any comfort, no matter how brief and fleeting the comfort might be to Mami.

After a moment of contemplative silence, Utena walks over to pull Mami into a hug. She's quiet there, for a bit, listening to the sound of the other girl's breathing, her heartbeat. Utena rests her chin on top of Mami's head, and releases a breath she didn't know she was holding.]

Oh, Mami...I'm really sorry. Please...don't be sad, okay? You have other friends here — and...and it's nice in this place. There's nothing to be afraid of anymore — or to cry over. I don't want to ruin this place for you.

tab shortened the notif to "quick tag before work [cry", appropriate

[justification]

[At first, Mami does nothing. Her arms are locked at her sides; she's stiff, unresponsive, as if frozen within this moment by Utena's embrace. The other girl is warm, her hug gentle and comforting in a way that Mami's longed to know since long before that day by the tree. She's wanted to claim it for her own, to not have to share it as she's had to share almost everything else. To have Utena's presence fill up her days and nights, that's what Mami most desires - not this consolation prize of a single afternoon.

And so, perhaps unsurprisingly, those words miss the mark. Mami has to swallow hard to speak when the spell breaks, and when she does, it's only to find that her composure has unraveled at the seams. Raw emotion seeps in like a stain, like a spreading bloom of blood on bandages that were once pristine and perfect.]

...How can you ask me not to be sad? You- you really think it's that easy? My friends aren't you. I- [Her hands - small, delicate, trembling - curl into Utena's sleeves. The grip is loose even as Mami presses her face into the crook of Utena's shoulders so that her tears are only heard and not seen.] I'm going to lose you, I'm going to lose the only person I've ever loved, and- and I'll probably never see you again. Nothing to cry over....ha, then why am I crying now....? It's stupid.

[Her fingers go slack, slip away from Utena's arms. Mami leans back, rubbing her eyes...] You're really dumb sometimes, you know? Almost as dumb as me. [...and then she's pushing Utena away, gently but firmly, standing up and taking a few steps away. She stares at her feet to hide the look in her eyes that she's too exhausted to bury - the look of someone crushed, inconsolable. Why? Why does everyone and everything she's ever cared about always slip through her fingers? No matter what, every time. Perhaps there's no point in having hope after all....and instead of shaking off these dark thoughts, as she's managed to do so many times before, Mami allows it to cloak her brain in a dull and stifling shadow.] Thank you for coming to see me, and for returning my feelings, but you should go. You have to revolutionize the world, remember?

[Her hands curl into anguished fists at her sides, yet her voice is strengthless now, without bite. Tired, spent, Mami can no longer summon the will to put on a brave face. Not even for Utena, not even for the sake of making the most of their last precious moments together. Things are only painful now in a new, awful ways she couldn't have predicted.]

That place....and that girl....they're waiting for you. They've been waiting this whole time, right? So you better get going.

[She turns her back on Utena, folds her arms as if it could keep the pieces of herself from falling to the ground.]

[revolutionized]

[Silence. Utena doesn't fight when Mami pulls away from her grasp; her arms go slack, her shoulders hitch and then slump. Her hand reaches to touch at the shoulder of her jacket, damp from Mami's tears, and her expression clouds.

Then she's moving, not to comfort Mami this time, because she senses...she knows it would ultimately be worthless, now. She had caused enough damage, she thought...but she does allow herself some regret, that things went this way, so quickly. That everything couldn't be simpler, that she couldn't promise things would get better for Mami. She didn't know if that was true or not, and to promise to return...it would be childish and overly idealistic; it would be cruel. Utena has no way of knowing that, not anymore.

So instead of moving to comfort, she moves away. Her head dips; she turns her back and pads toward the apartment entrance to retrieve her shoes.

She hesitates for a second later, then something in her expression seems to harden. In a voice that only wavers a little, she says:]

...Goodbye, Mami.

[The door opens, closes...and she's gone.]
