Kagero x Orochi B
Music: Implore the Dawn
KAGERO: So, about that fortune-telling card that you lost, Orochi.
KAGERO: You wanted me to draw you another one with a brook. So, here are a few drafts.
OROCHI: No, no, no... It has to be identical! You missed the fish! And what's all this other stuff? This draft has a waterfall. That draft, mountains!
KAGERO: Ah, you meant you wanted a scene that was absolutely identical?
OROCHI: That was the idea. But if you've forgotten, then fine, whatever. Do something new.
KAGERO: Why are you being so peevish?
OROCHI: Peevish? How can you say that when you're the one who's-
KAGERO: Orochi. Just stop. What have I done?
OROCHI: It's what you haven't done!
KAGERO: Are you going to keep riddling in circles? I can't read your mind.
OROCHI: That card, Kagero... That card was the most important one in my deck.
OROCHI: I had a special attachment to it. I mean, to the SCENE you drew on it.
OROCHI: The brook was where we first met.
KAGERO: Oh! The brook near-
OROCHI: Yes, THAT brook. Remember now? You were training by the water.
OROCHI: And I tripped over a stone, then a second stone, and fell onto you.
KAGERO: Onto me. Then we, into the water. You dropped the herbs you were gathering.
OROCHI: You do remember.
KAGERO: It made a big impression on me. I was so young- so intent on practicing.
KAGERO: While you were so clumsy. You recruited me into collecting the herbs before they-
OROCHI: Floated away, right! And then you couldn't get rid of me after that. We played all the time!
OROCHI: I thought you'd forgotten.
KAGERO: Sorry, Orochi. But you know, the only thing I forgot was the card itself. If I came across as insensitive...?
OROCHI: Nope. I'm the one who lost the card-and thought you were being a jerk.
OROCHI: I should have fessed up completely at the start. But I felt bad enough already.
KAGERO: You take things far too far, instead of just getting to the point.
KAGERO: What a delicate petal you are. One wonders why you befriended me.
OROCHI: I liked the shadow you cast.
KAGERO: Hmm. Well, how about we take a stroll? There's a brook near here.
KAGERO: I've been thinking lately how much it's like where we met.
OROCHI: What- it is? And you have?
KAGERO: Yes. And yes.
OROCHI: Lead the way!
KAGERO: It'll be the perfect setting for drawing that card exactly as you remember it.
