second visit
Jul. 7th, 2013 05:35 pmMilliways is less of a surprise the second time. He's been half-expecting it with every door he's opened, a quiet mix of dread and anticipation in the back of his mind.
He's also tried to erase it, throwing himself into his existence at Heavenly Host - drawing on his acting experience to play bait for fresh victims, watching the shock dawn on them once he's led them right to Sachiko or Yanagihori or the children, or when he doesn't act to stop Kizami; taking his pictures and joining Sachiko in her beloved playroom; and, most recently, stealing moments with Kizami when Sachiko, who is after all a seven-year-old at heart, isn't around to make horrified faces at them.
(He still thinks of Mayu and of Kishinuma when Kizami's hands are on him, but he's learning how to filter out the feelings that come with them.)
But when Milliways does show up again, he doesn't close the door as he probably ought to do. Instead, he steps through without hesitation.
Maybe he'll stay a little longer, this time.
