[ She remembers seeing Throne tugging at it when she "murdered Temenos". Yuri also remembers the woman snapping a collar around young Throne's neck. They're probably... not the same thing, right? The same collar she had when she was six, still around Throne's neck when she's even past 20 and it growing ever tighter as she grew up??
[a pause - she smiles, just a little, the sort of wry or sad smile you do when you're going to talk about something sad and you don't want someone to fuss.]
It's been there for years. [...] It was full of poison. I couldn't take it off without a key, or I'd die.

she's at the edge of it, crouched, expression distant. but when she hears yuri's voice, she glances up.]
... Oh, Yuri. [hello! what's up, are we enjoying the horrible blool on this eclipse monday.]

Here you go. I think this could help...

yuri might notice that the collar that is usually around her neck isn't there! huh.]
Thank you. [...] This is... unpleasant.
no subject
It... really is. Perhaps we shouldn't look iat it for too long...

How did you take it off?
[ Did she die and then actually get resurrect by Temenos?? Did he spam status cure on her the whole time?? ]
no subject
Ah, the... items from the auctions. I used the soulstone I received, and... it turned into a key.
[but i do think it would've been hilarious for temenos to just rez her after exploding from poison help]
... That was what I was searching for, before I got here.

[ Yuri smiles. ]
I'm happy for you, Throne. Well... perhaps a celebratory mood is all but naught in this dreary place, but... still. I'm glad you got the chance.
no subject
... Even if this isn't the place to celebrate, really, I'll take the joy all the same. You have to. Or the bad is overwhelming.
no subject
[ Emotion share! Yuri is radiating happy vibes despite the rancid feelings the machine gives off. ]
Let's grab a boba drink after this.

[there's a pleased aura of her own - she likes that yuri is happy. she thinks that yuri deserves to be.]
