[after the execution, kuranosuke lingers in the bar for a bit! ...to put a drink together, it seems. or something. currently, a box of nerds is being emptied out onto the bottom of a fishbowl. there are bottles of sprite, uv blue vodka, peach schnapps, coconut rum, and regular vodka on the counter, as well as some gummy fish and some orange slices.
kuranosuke looks up from the fishbowl.]
Oh, hey, hon. You want anything?

[kuranosuke can find harrow sometime on monday exploring the new island. specifically, she's in the aquarium room, and it sounds like she may be in there with someone else. she's looking into the tank of fish, one hand on the glass, talking as though it's to someone else in the room, but no one is there.
when kuranosuke comes into the room, she blinks, startled.]
Oh - good afternoon. [even then she sounds a little oddly hesitant.]

Of course.
[she seems to be watching kuranosuke very intently, looking between him and the fish tank.]

[she chews on her lip, nervous, then glances back at the fish tank again.]
We were only taking a walk, I hope we haven't disturbed you.

[there is no one else here. but she seems to chew her lip when he looks confused at that answer.]
...I haven't seen fish like the ones in this tank before. They're rather odd, aren't they?

Clara? [...] Oh, yes. Your pet.
[she chews her lip again.]
I saw something odd, in the tank. Or, I thought I did.
[she chews her lip again.]
I saw something odd, in the tank. Or, I thought I did.
I'm not quite sure.
[she peers into the tank, as though looking for it.]
Will you tell me what you see...?
[she peers into the tank, as though looking for it.]
Will you tell me what you see...?
Sure, I can take a look...
[he leans over to look and -
BAM. BAM.
suddenly, there is a panicked-looking girl on the inside of the tank, pounding on the glass with one hand while clutching at her throat with the other like she can't breathe. which, uh, she's inside a fishtank? it's full of water? of course she can't breathe.
kuranosuke jumps back a good three feet, his eyes wide, before rushing the tank and slamming his hands on the glass.]
TSUKIMI!
[...but in a blink, the girl is gone.]

[oh. well, she sees this this time. oddly, she doesn't react to it at all until kuranosuke reacts.]
...Ah. You saw it, too.
...Ah. You saw it, too.
Come. It's just an illusion.
[she's honestly gentle now, taking his hand and trying to lead him away, much calmer now that she knows she isn't just hallucinating this.]

[he takes her hand and lets her get him up to his feet so they can leave.]
...seriously, what the hell was that... [he rubs at his eyes with his free hand.] ...I should've known better. Should've known there's no way she'd end up down here like I did.

[oh. she frowns.]
I know. Though there is little reason to who wound up down here, is there?

...Do you know why, as to yourself?
[she chews her lip.]
The demons will give you a reason, but it may be quite suspect.
[she chews her lip.]
The demons will give you a reason, but it may be quite suspect.
Haven't really asked them...
[he sighs.]
But who knows? There could be a whole host of reasons. I didn't think I did anything that bad, but maybe I was just screwed over from the start. "Sins of the father," blah blah. There are some religions where bastard children go straight to hell or whatever.

...I suppose that's true.
[she frowns, chewing her lip, bothered by that statement in some way.]
I know why I'm here. But some of you do not belong.
