What would be the most ideal way to you, friend? That he reawakens his mother and those of you who have perished return so that we may all escape together?
Ish wasn't certain that it would work out for him and he was worried that I'd be giving up my life for nothing, but if it worked out then what's a life for that kind of freedom?
[ if there was a way for a hat to revel and preen about what good they managed to do, then that's how sabo would be acting. normally he wouldn't toot his own horn this loudly but...well. talk about rolling the dice and getting exactly what you want. ]
...and I am too. I couldn't have done what I did without them; even if I made some people very unhappy along the way.
I fear that no matter how long I lectured you for, you would not regret your actions.
[ He's so proud of what he's done, and he has every right to be. G'raha couldn't take that away from him, and... it's both a good and bad thing, he thinks. ]
Your plan was near flawless. Ridding your body of evidence that would give away cause of death and creating a scene to distract us from the true core of your plan.
[ he laughs bashfully. guilty as charged... and it's a good thing that this hat doesn't have any way to express itself because sabo wouldn't know what kind of face he'd make. ]
...I actually left the disposal of my body to the one who killed me.
The only thing we agreed upon is where we'd meet up for my final moments, after that, I'd let him decide on the best method of hiding the traces. [ a soft, brief laugh. ] I was right to put as much trust in him as I did.
[ But, hm. "He." It doesn't surprise G'raha, not much, but it does serve to make him more curious. ]
Who was it, if I may be so bold? [ A pause. ] I would like to believe you know me well enough that I do not need to stipulate that I would not share this information.
there's some silence of whether sabo wants to expose his killer or not but, given that it's g'raha who he's telling, he's sure that it wouldn't end up in the same way as the other killers here. ]
Blade.
[ he also doesn't know that it was blade who solved andy's murder. ]
When we first spoke, he let me know that he was completely serious about doing anything—no matter how crazy or insane—that could lead us out of our current situation. A way out.
[ again, sabo has the absolute audacity to laugh about this. ]
I think I might have even tested him when it came to insane ideas, unfortunately.
[ He leans toward the hat, his eyebrows raised in pure shock. ]
Blade?!
[ But the shock dissipates only a few moments after and he leans back again, closes his eyes for a moment, and lets out a soft breath. ]
He had promised me he would take any measures possible to give us an exit. [ He smiles, in spite of everything. ] You were right to trust him, friend. If anyone would carry forth a wish like yours, 'twould be him. I've caught glimpses of the selflessness and determination that lies underneath his outermost layers.
[ he didn't know what he could have expected from g'raha but the reaction he gets is one that warms his heart (does his hat self have a heart??) and he would be grinning ear to ear if he had a mouth to smile with. ]
He's an interesting guy. [ a pleased hum. ] When we all confessed to something we'd be judged for, he confessed to something that would be irredeemable for the majority of people and it probably is.
However, he didn't shy away from his actions nor about shifting the blame onto anyone else. He accepted the consequences of his actions and earnestness in what he does.
[ he chuckles, brightly. ]
He and I have a fair bit in common in that regard.
'Tis what I like most about him. He accepts the full consequences of his actions and carries no ire for those who cannot abide by them.
[ He respects that about Blade a lot, and it's what ultimately drew G'raha to him. ]
There is... another, more selfish reason that I am glad he was not caught. I plan on assisting him with his memory when we are finally set free. Knowing that he walks with us now leaves my heart feeling at ease without fear that he will not make his way back to this realm.
[ and that's the trait that blade and he both share. ]
Memory?
[ that gets his attention. ]
We spoke of a lot of things, but memories never quite came up for discussion.
[ mainly because memories are also a sticking point with sabo. sometimes you forget half of your life for half of your life and then end up regretting every bit of what you didn't know for years. ]

[ Ugh. He hates all of this, especially when Siffrin is so angry with him in spite of G'raha fully understanding. ]
I suppose it all felt that this would clean up too easily.
[ They needed to throw a literal knife in there somewhere. ]
no subject
If things could have been resolved in a single wish then I would have purposed to call him a Witch of Miracles than one of Ruin.
[ he chuckles lightly. ]
...but maybe he could still earn that title if things still work out in the most ideal way.

**PROPOSE how did i fucking miss that for so long
[ if sabo could smile he absolutely would. he's glad to have nearly made g'raha laugh, at least. ]
My wish for Ish was to give him access to the Akashic Record. [ ... ] Rather, the wish that I made him carry out was to give my killer access to them.
[ so, in that way, ish was able to have access to them. a very roundabout way to give him access to something he couldn't open on his own. ]
A wish that was for him but asked in such a way that it would be for another person.
at least it wasn't hog long
[ It's incredible, really, that Sabo would think to make a wish like that, much less the fact that it worked so well in his favor. ]
I never thought I would feel this sentiment, however... I truly am grateful your killer escaped notice.
you're so right
Ish wasn't certain that it would work out for him and he was worried that I'd be giving up my life for nothing, but if it worked out then what's a life for that kind of freedom?

[ Hence, the rabies. ]
I intend to draw forth more positive memories and bring them to the forefront of Blade's mind. He has agreed to this method.
no subject
I hope that it works out for him; I'm sure he'd make for better conversation if he wasn't giving people that funny look in his eye.
[ he means the unhinged look, of course. ]
Personally, I've never thought much of wanting to live forever. As long as I'm able to accomplish what I set out to do then I'm content with that.
[ which is probably clear given how he is dead and currently a hat but you know. ]
no subject
[ Even his own longevity has been a curse, so he's thankful that he's back to a normal lifespan. ]
Regardless, he will know peace... even should this attempt fail.
[ Sabo should understand the implications of that—G'raha, too, has an agreement with Blade should this not work out. ]
