... It's not exactly a promise. When the angel approaches you, you feel that you believe what they say, however illogical. It wasn't until towards the end of trial, when I was found out, that my mind was clear again.
... Oh. So you didn't really realise right until then?
[ Mind control. Poignant little thing. It does make her grimace in a rare way, like she understands it. Almost. ]

[ This sucks. Death happens, and Power is mostly fine with it. If it hurts, it's only for a little, and then it fades. But what do you do when you're faced with someone with a death sentence? When it feels like there should be a fighting chance still, but there isn't. ]
'Tis a bit more dire than I thought, then. I guess.
... I thought I had to take a life in order to prevent more dire consequences. From what I've heard, other killers seemed to have believed in similar notions.
Susato tried to reason with me that night—point out that I was likely being deceived—but she soon realized I couldn't see it.
Tell me lots about what it's like over there! And if Sheba's okay! And Susie, and that tall nerd boy! Ask if there's anything they want, other than more pizza and drawings!
[ It's like saying goodbye to a friend before they leave for the airport, rather than a goodbye for someone on death row. This is still pre-execution before all the brutality, it's fine. ]

In who to kill? Yes.
no subject
Then why her? Did you just like the other choices more?
no subject
[and it'd be hard to name more than a few people, if anyone, that he liked more than susato.]
no subject
[ She looks like she's thinking about that... for different reasons. ]
Then I just don't get it, I guess. If I had to choose, I'd just kill someone I didn't like.
... Was the promise really that good?

[ Rochalízo is such a sad soul. ]
This angel truly is the image of a nasty devil.
It didn't tell you anything else, did it? How it looked or what it's name was?
no subject
no subject
[ Fine... she releases whatever else she brought. A wrapped candy I guess. It's Rochalízo's now, role reversal. ]
It will be chilly.
no subject
... It's been cold for a while, really.
no subject
If you do die, you'll send a letter, won't you?
no subject
Hm, I'll consider it.
no subject
...Or at least send one. To anyone! As long as they share a little.
[ She just keeps coming after every executionee like 'send a goddamn letter or else'. She likes! Knowing that they're out there! ]

And... [ Thinking. ] Is there anything you want?
no subject
[no promises, though.]
... Just keep on being yourself.
no subject
[ Since that's the rules of how devils work -- maybe they won't die the typical way, but it's still the death of a person.
She hands him another scarf at least? ]
no subject
[he takes it.
imagine if i retconned execution to be like "he was wearing it so kaeya destroyed it when he nearly beheaded rochalizo"]
no subject
Of course, I am very lovable after all. [ Thank you for the compliment, it will go directly to her ego. ]
Try not to stay sad for long, Rochalizo boy! Even when you were yelling at me, it was quite fun.
no subject
... Indeed! You should be honoured to know me.
no subject
[ But really, for real? She's just got a smile, subtler and real, but nonetheless proud, too. Yeah, she's honoured that we could be friends. ]
I am, I am. You have been very nice to me, I won't forget you.
no subject
he looks touched at that, before he quickly turns his face away, as if to hide his expression.]
no subject
Well, I am staying here until you or the next person who comes in kicks me out, what say you?
[ She WILL hang out here for as long as she can!!! ]
no subject
... I suppose there's worse company.
[like the person who'll poison him later but anyway]
