You mean we're stuck in here?! [ No, don't tell him that, Saitou. It's depressing!
At the same time, though, he has a point. Digging has been useless so far. ]
...I know I didn't wanna be here last time, but now that I don't really have anything else, it's gotta be something like this? I hate this place. At least all the other times, it wasn't some kinda sandy coffin.
How's this amusing? I mean, I kinda feel like I'm buried alive... and it's not all that great, y'know?
[ And as much as he's not sure he wants to answer that question, he's not about to lie to him. ]
I-- I'm... I died. [ His voice is hollow, all the life sucked right out of it. Saying it out loud makes it seem a little more real than it feels. ] At Aburano Koji. They--
[ And now, he's just going to panic because what if Saitou didn't know about that? ] But I'm sure I get better! Really! I mean, people die and come back all the time, right? It could totally happen!
It's quite pointless, what they put us through. [ There's a lot to complain about; Saitou has quite the list. But then Heisuke mentions Aburano Koji, which is a sobering thing.
'I died.' ]
I know. [ They're sitting in a sandcastle, and there is sand literally everywhere, getting everywhere...and they're in these ridiculous clothes. It's loud and yet... ] I remember that.
[ But he pauses; does Heisuke not know that he drank ochimizu? Or was this a slightly differing timeline? He remembers what people have told him, and if Heisuke doesn't know, it's one more secret for him to keep. One thing is for sure; he's not going to tell Heisuke that he's rasetsu. Not yet. ]
[ So then he really is dead, and not just dying. It's a sobering thought, but at the same time, it means he has to try harder to stay alive here because this is all he has left. ]
Hey, um... have you seen a metal crocodile? It doesn't have any skin, so it's kinda cool looking, and its name is Hijicroca. Though, it doesn't really come when you call it or anything.
Do you not have memories of after Aburanokoji...? [ Saitou says this a little softer. He doesn't want to break the news, but Heisuke deserves to know. ] In any case, either Sano or Shinpachi or I can fill you in.
...I have not; Shinpachi mentioned it before. [ When they were at a bar, if he remembers. Or maybe it was upon arriving, his first (second?? he forgets that he's been here quite early one, but he's got no memories of that) time. ] Why the name 'Hijicroca,' though?
