[ sorry for all of this robin... 🥹 aqua's in one of the hospital rooms!
her injuries aren't entirely mended from the spring, but they're definitely less life-threatening than before. she has bandages over her left forearm, right upper arm, her chest and her abdomen (though those aren't immediately apparent under her hospital gown).
...her hair is lighter than usual, and her eyes are yellow.
she glances in the direction of robin's voice, but her gaze is decidedly off. ]
It seems to depend on the severity of the injuries...
[ tbf it is still better than. walking into a swamp. probably.
aqua nods, and places her other hand on top of robin's. (aki voice) handwich... the physical contact sets her more at ease, and her nort features recede a bit, hair and eyes turning bluer again. ]
I don't mind. It... may not entirely make sense, but I suppose these things usually don't. It feels like a dream, looking back on it...
[ she'll begin to recount to her that they were students of Tokyo Jujutsu High, sent on a mission to escort a young girl who would become the new vessel for Tengen, an immortal sorcerer that maintains the barriers protecting the Jujutsu High locations... ]
...I'd seen the girl before, actually. In one of Gojo's memories...
[ her grip is a bit more firm when aqua recounts. it becomes a neater handwich. ]
I saw... in Mr. Geto's memory. [ they really got this memory from each side of satosugu. her voice is quiet, but there is an inherent understanding of the sorrow that is to come. ]
... Were you taking part in that memory? Did you manage to change anything?

Aqua, how are you doing?
[ how injured did she get ]

...Robin?
no subject
at least aqua sounds like she usually does. robin walks more into the hospital room and comes to aqua's bedside. ]
... Yes. Is your vision affected?
no subject
...Mhm. I haven't been able to see since Karlach brought me here from the spring.
[ she doesn't even know she looks like this right now...
her hands curl a little where they rest on top of the blanket. it's... unsettling. ]
no subject
[ she frowns not that aqua can see it. ]
I'm going to reach for your hand.
[ so as to not surprise her, but robin does reach to rest her hand on top of aqua's. ]
Are you all right to talk about what happened?

I'm not entirely sure—I hadn't seen the full memory, only the very beginning of it. But we were sent on a very similar mission to protect Riko.
...We didn't succeed, though. If anything... I wonder if we made things worse.
[ she'll tell her about how the girl had been badly injured, how she died and turned into a cursed spirit. ]
...I wish we could've done something for her, even if it wasn't real.
no subject
[ robin looks to the side, not that aqua can see it. ]
I saw the end. Or near it. I know what Miss Riko wanted. [ how she wanted to live, to live a normal life. it's heartbreaking to robin. ]
I'm sorry you couldn't save her. [ ... ] I wish that you could have, too. The experience is real, but... if it is a reimagination of a past event...
[ it would have been nice to change it. even if it's like a dream (or nightmare). ]
no subject
...Yes, it would've been nice to give her a kinder fate somewhere. She was very sweet.
[ too young to be a sacrifice, to have her choices taken from her. she did hear from gojo she'd been assassinated, so. ]
no subject
[ they're teenagers doing tasks like fending off assassination attempts and almost dying. ]
