[ eheheheheheh~ ]

how did you find out? [ was it via a stupid psychic worm-induced dream? ]

[gorb]

The vessel, and something to do with the implants we think.

( A much nicer way of referring to Itadori, patting himself on the back here. )

Obviously I didn't see it happen. I only witnessed the aftermath.

( And Kenjaku. Which Geto is not thinking about. It's blissful ringing silence in his skull if he focuses on anything else. )

How long?

[rikugan]

[ the vessel has a name, geto. ]

they told me that it was a month
it felt longer [ it felt like an eternity had passed. ]

[gorb]

I almost didn't believe it. You're better than that.

( So what changed? )

[rikugan]

yea
i fucked up

[gorb]

How?

[rikugan]

they caught me off guard

[ it's really like pulling teeth here, but he doesn't know how much suguru knows at this point. ]

[gorb]

Kenjaku?

( A little spasm at writing that, teeth grinding. )

The vessel blamed him for it.

[rikugan]

[ ah— ]

yea [ that's it. ]

[gorb]

( Another series of ...'s that flicker and fade throughout the next few minutes. )

What happened to my body?

[rikugan]

it was taken over by an ugly ass brain with beaver teeth

[ that wasn't the question; he doesn't care. he isn't answering it. ]

[gorb]

( His fucking blood pressure. )

Don't you think I deserve to know?

[rikugan]

[ sigh ]

i gave it to your family

[gorb]

( It does not explain anything. But it is an answer he'll believe, and so all he can do is let that sink in. )

Thank you.

( What? He's not entirely an asshole. )

So it happened after then.

1/2

[rikugan]

i dont know the details but
either they just buried you or they didnt cremate you in time

[rikugan]

shoko gave me an earful over this

[gorb]

Well.

I did pinky-swear she could have my body after I died, so it depends on if you consider that binding or not.

( Wildly not the point but Shoko doesn't deserve Geto's ire and so he cannot drum it up. There's a headache blooming either way, behind one of his eyes. He misses her more than he'd like to admit. )

[rikugan]

[ that... is something they can both agree on.

he misses her too. ]

well neither of you mentioned anything to me
so how was i supposed to know?

[gorb]

Pretty sure defecting makes a childish vow null and void.

( He didn't want to be an experiment anyway.

Which makes this somehow worse. )

[rikugan]

[ why did he think gojo didn't turn his body over to jujutsu tech instead?

an evident mistake. ]

im sorry
i should have overseen it

[gorb]

I doubt they would have let you.

( He does not talk about Gojo much, but he thinks his girls have formed opinions regardless. )

[rikugan]

so?

[ they wouldn't have been able to stop him from doing what he wanted. ]

[gorb]

It doesnt matter now, does it?

[rikugan]

if it helps kenjaku is dead

[gorb]

Oh.

Good.

The vessel didn't know.

( And it does help. His breathing loosens, coming out in a rattle. )
