Anonymous text after the Taurus event

[No way is he showing his face to Hinoto-Ri: not now, not soon. Time heals all wounds, and time is exactly what he needs to work through the aftermath of the event.]

The government announcement and star sign "sickness" —

Will this happen to us a lot? Is this just how it works here? What can we do to... stop it?

...

I'm sorry.

[ She doesn't care that some anonymous person is using text. Not at all. She's going to reply, and she's going to be blunt, damn it. ]

Why the hell are you even apologizing for? Whatever happened wasn't your fault.

[Hers is not the voice he expected to hear blaring out of his bracelet in response to this. It catches him off-guard, driving him to check his settings to make sure, absolutely sure, that no audio or video is enabled. He hesitates; the recollection of Yuri's story comes to mind. More importantly, the obvious guilt she carried -- or once carried -- strikes him. One would have to be blind to miss it in the little ways she used to blame herself.

Otonashi wonders if she doesn't still sometimes think of herself as a "terrible leader," or by extension a bad big sister. Is that the part of her that's speaking to him, or is it clearer and less complicated than that?

No use wondering. He had his heart set on making a difference to heal the damage left by the "zodiac insanity."]

Even if we weren't ourselves, people still got hurt because of us.
I can't say "I didn't mean it" and have that be the end of it, I have to do something

anything

[ Yuri's going to be a lot calmer now. Sure, she doesn't want to be a complete ass to this person, but hey, there's no way she's going to let her guard down and act friendly to someone she doesn't know. Or seemingly doesn't know, anyway. ]

Look. If you're going to do something, then don't just sit around typing things like an idiot. Do it. And if you're going to apologize for something, do it in person.

Sure, people got hurt, but that doesn't mean they won't forgive you for it. It wasn't entirely your fault. And I promise that I'll get those idiots back for what they did.

[ Not for you, anonymous, but for herself. And she takes a deep breath and continues, speaking in a serious voice. ]

Just don't beat yourself because of it. It's stupid. And useless. And it won't help anybody, either. Especially not yourself.

[Ouch. That stung, but he didn't want to hesitate for too long.]

I did this for a starting point, and now I'm using it for direction and personal record. I'm not doing it just to "chat" or type. . .

It's --

unreasonable to think people wouldn't feel bad after that. This has all happened before from what I've found.

And what "idiots" are going to pay? [He's mostly asking because with Yuri, the word "idiot" is basically synonymous with "person" or more specifically, "person who isn't me or who doesn't think like me." She could mean literally everyone in Hinoto-Ri.]

Of course people are going to feel bad. That's the way life works. But we move on and get over it. That's how people work, after all.

[ Even though she doesn't like talking much about this topic, she'll reply to his question anyway. ]

And the idiots I'm talking about are the ones who caused this mess, obviously. I mean, there has to be some higher power that's forcing people to do stupid things, right? That's why I'll kick their ass.

Yeah. so give them time to process what happened. or you will overwhelm them. [Not like he knows from experience or anything!!]

Nobody knows if it's a " who " yet. This " zodiac sickness " might be a part of the world itself. eg. the giant Taurus monster that appeared. Need to find out for sure though

If it's a part of the world, then all we have to do is change the workings of this world entirely. Don't worry though, I'll gather information first before doing something rash.

" all you have to do? " I would try working smaller than that personally. . .

Well there's a lot of resources about Hinoto-Ri. I dont know about " changing the whole world, " but good luck learning about it.

[Changing the world seems a lot harder when you're bound by mortality, after all. But maybe she really won't act rashly? Any restraint on the part of the SSS is welcome.]

You have to start big in order to get things done. ... And thanks.
