nogiku catchall

thinking about kasane and that lipstick.....

[ The moment a bubble traps the both of them wherever they are, Roxana's composure flickers for the briefest of moments.

There's a flash of annoyance, bordering on anger, then resignation, and she touches the bubble (cw: blood and gore).

just fyi since I am using official translation spellings vs. what's in scanlations: agriche = agrece, dion = deon. ]

[Ah.

It's just a memory. Not even one of her own. But her disgust is still palpable.]

... Tch, what a hideous woman.

[ Maria's behavior and hobbies are hideous. Roxana won't disagree even if there's no change to her demeanor. ]

She's quite unpleasant. I can only interact with her in small doses.

It's unfortunate that you had to interact with her at all.

[No wonder Roxana's poker face is so powerful... What a terrible family.]

... The bubble won't release us until I give it something as well, huh?

[She regards it like it has personally insulted her... Which, honestly, it has? But after a moment, she presses her hand to it.]

[ Roxana has to weather all sorts of things like they're normal because it's more or less her normal.

There are a few things she doesn't quite understand in this memory, but she comprehends enough. There is something Nogiku needs to find out even at the price of facing some of her trauma. ]

Did you end up finding out what you wanted to know?

[She seems a little annoyed, but... All things considered, it's not the worst memory Roxana could have seen.]

... Yes. After that, I found the information I needed.
