[There's no particular reason Satoru chose audio over video. Despite how young his voice is, the adult in him is coming through in how tired he sounds.]

I bet I'm not the only one that event was kind of hard for. Even thinking things might have turned out that way makes me want to...

[He trails off without actually saying what it makes him want to do.]

But I'm sure it could have been worse.

[He pauses.]

So...what's the worst event you've been through?

[Sunburst is very much okay with keeping this to voice.]

I don't know. I'd say this one rates pretty high up there.

Voice

[modore]

Really? You seemed pretty good.

[A beat.]

Or maybe that's why it was bad.

[Knowing things could have turned out better than they actually did would be hard.]

Voice

[bibliocorn]

That... well yeah, that's why it was bad.

[He's quiet for a moment. This mess was just incontestable proof that what he did pushed Starlight down the dangerous road she found herself on. He can live with accepting he created his own misery, he's known that for a while, but knowing he created hers, really knowing...that's what he hates most. ]

I guess I finally learned the choice I made once upon a time was the wrong one, and I'm not the only pony that got hurt because of it.

Right after I got here, we went to Neverland. Only my notes say it was really terrible and not like the Disney movie at all, so um that one. Definitely that one.

voice

[modore]

[Definitely wasn't here for that one.]

What happened?

voice

[testcase]

It was more like the Lord of the Flies than the movie. But my notes said I died during it, so that makes it the worst one for me.

[Her voice should probably waver while she processes that from her notebook, but it doesn't. At this point, it's almost like it happened to another person. It didn't, but it's hard for her to think something like that happened to her that long ago.]

[hairdont]

Does the chess match count?

voice;

[modore]

Yeah, I'd say it does.

[He wasn't on the board, but it was pretty unpleasant to watch.]

[hairdont]

Then yeah, definitely that. I got shot in the face by a raccoon.

[beatupgrass]

Where d'you want me to begin?

voice;

[modore]

There are that many?

[beatupgrass]

It's been four years, kid.

voice;

[entreats]

You're just casually going to ask people like that?

[ Granted, people who don't want to talk about it probably just won't answer, but.. still!! That's kind of a sensitive thing right there. (Not that Ange, queen of bluntness, can judge anyone else for that.) ]

voice;

[modore]

You're one to talk.

[Ange's bluntness has certainly not been lost on Satoru over time.]

People don't have to answer if they don't want. Sometimes it's nice to complain, though.

[entreats]

[ Rightfully called out. She doesn't even sound offended since it's just.. true.. and she knows it. ]

Then go ahead and complain a little to me. I'm listening.

[Anon text]

[shslliar]

[GUESS WHAT? There is no way Kokichi is answering this off anon. So enjoy your text messages.]

OMG You have no idea.

You wanna hear about something stressful or something that involved a lot of death? Because I have been in WAY too many of both events. Sometimes they have both. And zombies.

[modore]

I've heard a lot about zombie events, yeah.

What was the worst?

[shslliar]

Hm....

How about the time everyone was possessed by killer robots?

Voice;

[licksthirium]

I've heard they get worse, but I can't say I'm fond of my first event here.

Voice;

[modore]

Was this one your first?

Voice;

[licksthirium]

For the time being, yes.

Voice

[townwithoutme]

We've been through the same events.

[She says it as though he should know already, but the truth is she feels like she should reply. After that event, after being another version of herself, talking to the Satoru she knows is a relief.

It...wasn't a terribly easy event for her either.]

Voice

[modore]

[His voice softens when she responds.]

Are you okay?

voice;

[keephersafe]

Mm... that one.

[Before, it might have been one of the zombie-related events. Maybe even the first one he was dropped into, but now..?]

Definitely... that one.

voice;

[modore]

It was up there for me, too.

[Not the worst, but close to. Anything that makes him relive the last few weeks of his life at home is unwelcome.]
