What will you do when faced with the terrifying ordeal of being known?

Someone went out of their way to frame Suigetsu. Or at least, was very lucky that night.

Could it be a power they already have? Or something from a coin? Or maybe it's one of the daemons I'm not familiar with.

[bloodread]

All the forms of Suigetsu's daemon were sea creatures, right? So even if he didn't talk about his powers it's an easy connection to make.

[ Hmm. ]

How do you feel about Nero?

[cranelike]

... Nero-kun?

[bloodread]

Yeah, him. He's the only other person I've heard about that has powers which effect water.

[cranelike]

But he was injured seriously from his adventure. Do you think he could do all of that without re-opening his wounds and then stitch himself exactly the same as before?

[bloodread]

If he traded the Watchers for healing, yeah.

[cranelike]

I'm still not sure. Kim-san checked his stitches and they were exactly the same.

(But he frowns,)

Of course, it isn't impossible. I would only be surprised if it was true.

....yeah. I just refuse to forget. More people are gonna die next week, and people are happy enough just to deal with Suigetsu.

[ Or so he feels, anyway. ]

[cranelike]

(...

Gently,)

You were close to her.

(He knows how Akira felt.)

[bloodread]

[ Glare but what more can he do considering Tsuru felt it. ]

She reminded me of someone back home, that's all. I screwed up with her too.

[cranelike]

You did your best. I could feel you trying to find the answer her, Akira-kun.

[bloodread]

I'm not gonna stop until I have it.

[cranelike]

(Just going to pat him on the head,)

If I can help, let me know.
