Tatsuma hums softly as he considers his answer. "I remember... we fought monsters." There's at least two cases of it. "And some of the memories... have to do with a girl who became a zombie."

Togusa looks up sharply at Tatsuma, brow wrinkled in concern. Not another one. Why are so many of the kids dragged into this remembering memories of fighting? He looks away, regretful. "I'm sorry for asking."

"But. You want to remember more of that? Why?"

[strawberrypunch]

"I still don't know how the fight ended with the girl." His tone remains soft, but serious. "I remember there was a memorial for her... But I don't remember if she was able to pass on in peace." And the more he sees, the more concerned he gets. Was it even possible for any of those creatures-- no, those people to rest peacefully again?

"And also... My friends. I keep remembering them." And unlike some of the others here, he has yet to find anyone who resembles them now. "I want to know who they are, too."

"Zombies, you said," Togusa matches Tatsuma's soft tone, stays respectful, instead of incredulous. "Bodies, or spirits, denied that peace in death?" He isn't sure he's heard anything more horrible.

Togusa very slowly nods. "I can respect it. Especially if it's for friends. If there's a better way to remember, then," he nods more firmly. "Let me know how I can help. I'm not chasing it, but I'm willing to try to help the people who are."

1/2

He nods. "Not sure which." But regardless of whether it's a trapped soul or simply the body, they at least deserved the dignity of a peaceful rest both physically and spiritually - is his thought on the matter, at any rate.

2/2

...But with that said, he goes ahead and smiles again. "Mm, thank you. I think I'll be able to get the rest. And sorry about the prank." He's mostly been looking to do the bare minimum asked by the bingo form, but this one might have been a little overboard.

The look on Togusa's face turns sympathetic. Tatsuma needs to know more. The very idea of these things existing, and being able to do something about it would spur anyone into action. A spirit or a body not at rest? There's a lot in between the lines of what Tatsuma has said.

"No apology needed," he says, and smiles warmly. He puts his hands on his knees and stands up. "I should probably get back to Daisuke, though."

And that only makes his smile widen.

"Please pet him for me."

Dog is very important! But also, he needs to get this cleaned up as per his agreement with the kind employee.

Togusa nods. "I will. And, well, thanks again for helping out."

He gives a friendly wave before he heads out, hoping that he'll dry out pretty quickly in this heat.
