Open rp, post Zi-O, please interrupt him at the quarry or three hours later or whatever

[kenzaki]

Kenzaki stands in the quarry, delighted, exhausted, and bewildered. Amane-chan is safe. Zi-O has their powers. That should keep both Jokers sealed, and, well, if it doesn’t, he can deal with it then.

For now? For now, he has a chance to actually build a life for himself again. He doesn’t have to hold himself back from contacting his friends. He scribbles his cellphone number on a scrap of paper and tucks it into Hajime’s hand (imagine, being able to touch Hajime again) and begins to stroll off.

He needs to find a place to stay. He hasn't exactly been here long; hasn't had time. Some human food. Oh, and a shower. A shower would be magnificent.

Right now, he wants to let Hajime and Amane-chan reunite without his interference. He’s not leaving town again. He just doesn’t want to be in the way, and maybe to take a couple hours to stare at a wall and let the shock of it all wash over him.

It could've been so much worse.

"Good," Tachibana nodded, taking a deep drink from his own beer as he sat back on his chair once more.

"It's not unlikely that someone could be redeemed," he reasoned almost idly before giving a small, wry smile. "After all, consider our group," he offered. Between his own... problems, Hajime's... everything and Mutsuki's troubles with the Spider Undead...

"I'm not sure any of us were like him," Kenzaki says doubtfully. He appreciates Tachibana-san being generous, but he also just doesn't think that Tachibana or anyone else was anywhere near that bad.

....and yes, maybe that's bias. "I suppose it's possible, though. I should try to be positive."

He's found that... difficult.

Tachibana blinked once before giving a small, almost disbelieving huff. "Normally it's you telling me that, not the other way around."
