[in the cafeteria, rita fills a tray with various food items and goes to take a seat. she immediately sets down a notebook to write in while she eats, and while in recent weeks this has been something done with a sense of frustration, this time, she's kind of... eager? like she's actually in a good mood.
in fact, it takes her a few seconds to realize she just sat down across from denji, and she looks up as if surprised to see him there.]
[denji had been sort of leaning further and further towards rita's notebook to see what she was doing, but when she notices and looks up he snaps back, obviously pretending he wasn't just peeping]
Yeah, so maybe whatever I'd wanna say I can just say when they get here, right?
I dunno...I'm not, like, superstitial or whatever, but somethin' about thinkin' about talkin' to people after they died, it...I dunno makes my head hurt, I guess.
[Weird take for a guy who's already been back from the dead a few times, but okay.]
[and rita SIGHS, partly at her mind blurting out her thoughts, and partly at the topic at hand.]
I mean, I get it. I didn't think the dead could be anywhere, or be reachable in any way. Took a pretty long time for me to get even a little comfortable with this nonsense.

Re-evaluating some theories. I finally got some of the clues I was looking for.
[her thoughts end up adding: I'll have to thank those jerks in the daycare later.]
no subject
What kinda clues and theories and stuff? [she's so smart]
no subject
And these letters from the dead... [she gestures to a couple papers she's got wedged in her notebook.] They're pretty helpful, too.
no subject
So you been working with the others on figurin' stuff out? Playin' nice?
no subject
no subject
Nope. Just got the impression you didn't super like a lot of people here, is all.

Pretty sure usually dead people are just dead, but also they don't disappear and stuff. [except for himeno I guess]
no subject
