[ oh it's a wonderful day when a conversation starts with "well... I haven't died.", honestly. shu's arms tighten briefly, like a reflex hearing that, and what comes after.
a single timeline, and two out of three of the people part of it had seen one of them die. like an inevitabilty.
"You'd get mad if your family said 'I'm probably gonna die, but it's no biggie,' wouldn't you?"
he hadn't really understood at the time -- the fact he could die was just life. like karma waiting behind him and he spent his days wondering when his steps would be too slow to outrun it. when it would catch up to him. it's not an if, it's a when. barely anyone gets to choose the day they die, after all.
teuta getting mad about it had been strange and a little concerning. he hadn't seen the point.
it's a bit different when it's yuri telling him she was doomed to die.
