week 3, tuesday, a bit after motive
[With her job done to make sure Minato isn't going to die (probably) and no one else attempting to murder the Conductor, Ris is free to continue on with the one thread she'd had to let drop earlier.
She makes her way to the apartment car, to Mithos' door, and raises her hand to rap her knuckles against it.
There's a part of her that's worried she'll be turned away, but even so, she has to try. If she's learned anything about Mithos over the course of these few weeks, it's that he has an unfortunate tendency to recede into himself when he actually needs to reach out.
Well, it's fine. She can take some initiative, at least. Mithos is not the first person she's known with poor self-care tactics, after all, and she's far happier to go out of her way for Mithos than she ever was for that man.
Having knocked, she just waits for any response. She's not going to just burst in.]

literally the last person on this train who should have had this talk with mithos, right here
Perhaps not here, not yet. But don't give up hope yet.
If we can survive this, regain what we've lost and get back to where you belong... it may be possible. With time, with research and training, with perseverance.
To make them suffer, make them pay for how they've wronged you... and return her to your side.
I will have to do more research myself, I only know the basic theories... but there may be a way to give her soul a different vessel. I won't make you any promises, not yet, but...
I'll do all I can, either way. Even if, in the end, all I can do is make them suffer that much more.
stares at him and ris stares at mithos' last words who allowed these two to connect
Don't give up hope... there's a way to bring her back ... and make them pay for what they've done. He's quiet for a moment to take in all her words before he speaks. ]
You're right. There must be a way I can bring her back and have the human pay for what they have done. No matter how long it takes ... we have time.
[ With the power of his Cruxis Crystal at home he has all the time in the world ... Even if right now whenever he tries to think of something his head responds with nothing but a headache.
... No matter. Even if he can't think of anything... and even if Ris can't make that promise yet they'll find a way. And maybe... ]
Maybe we can ... even make a world where my sister and I can live in peace. The world we live in now doesn't deserve my sister in it, after all. To change the world so that we aren't discriminated against... that's all she wanted. That was her last wish.
[ ... ]
Until then, I'll at least have you right?
us. we did.
We can. Just as soon as we make it out of here. [She'll even drop the "if" of the whole situation. In the name of hope.] Until then, until you can see her again, we'll just have to celebrate her life as best as we can. Try our best to make the world what she always wanted it to be for her return.
[And as for that last bit, her gaze softens.]
Of course you will. I told you, didn't I? You won't ever be rid of me. I don't break my promises.
crying......
That's right. The moment we make it out of here we'll begin. I'm sure there are things we can do to make it happen. So when she does come back it's to her liking.
[ And his nods, his own gaze softening ]
Good. I don't plan on breaking my promise to you, either. Whatever we do, Ris, we'll do it together.
[cat drowning in tears emote]
[And to that last part... well, way to get her cheeks flushing a little, Mithos.
With how pale she is, this really just serves to make her look a little more alive, but it's definitely noticeable.]
"Whatever we do, we'll do it together," huh? Ehe... I like the sound of that.
