The next night, I was sleeping up a tree again. Itami.... found me. He was there, right in front of me. He grabbed at my throat. Then Hitari came out of his house,"

Hitari turns pale. ". . .do you know how fortunate you are to be standing there?"

Over forty years, Kanashimi mutters. It's easier to measure that time by how someone changed. . .

Rin is silent for a second. He looks disturbed.

(as he should xD)

Hitari mentally slaps himself. Way to go, buddy. Always bring up how someone should have died. "Sorry, I. . .probably shouldn't have said that?"

Rin, if you don't want to keep going, that's okay, Kanashimi says.

(lols!)
"No. I... need to get this off my chest," Rin steels himself. "Itami's grip was starting to get tighter. It was.... cold. Really cold. That's why I almost mistook you for him, Kanashimi. Hitari started to climb the base of the tree. He knocked me off the branch in the nick of time. We fell, and he got knocked out. I picked him up and ran."

Hitari is silent - it's hard to tell if he's even listening, but he probably is.

Itami and I. . .are similar in that manner, yes, Kanashimi says. They shake their head. That doesn't even matter right now, why did I say that. . .

"We camped in the woods that night," Rin continues. "And when morning came, we found our way back. Itami tapped on the window. Neither of us opened it. He broke through the window.... sent some sort of shadowy bolt at you.... and when you came back to your senses, you didn't remember anything."

(gotta run to my game, I'll be back ^^)

Hitari puts his hands together and breathes deeply, them points them at you. "So - "

He shakes his head. "Basically - "

"I am going to. . .do something to that prick next time I see him. . ." he ends up muttering, putting his hands on his head. Hitari looks up at you. "Do me a favor and. . .uh. . .maybe don't mention this to Shia? Please?"

Hitari, you know that's not how it works. . . Kanashimi says. Shia is. . .Shia. She, uh. . .figures things out.

Rin just sits there, watching the two. "You have my word I won't tell her," He says, attempting to calm him down. "But don't look at me if she finds out like Kanashimi says."

Hitari stays silent for. . .a painfully long time before he speaks. "I won't."

. . .I'm going to go get Shiawase, Kanashimi says, moving towards the house. She's probably crying.

And thaaat leaves me with Hitari, Rin thinks, slightly nervous.
