Coroner's Diary 朝雪录 (2025) Dir. Li Hui Zhu, Deng Wei En – Ep. 15

[niekwrites]

no piece of teen media has ever accurately depicted the quiet psychological warfare of bullying. bullies on TV are always dumb brutes and not the evil geniuses of emotional manipulation that they are in real life. being given a wedgie and having your lunch money stolen is nothing in comparison to a classmate quietly creating a taboo against speaking to you that they intend to enforce against all the other kids. it’s nothing like continuous cutting comments from people you thought were being nice to you. that way that the work of one kid can make you feel like every person on earth silently hates you and that you are dirty, disgusting, worthless, creepy and useless. that you can have friends but many of them will not speak to you at school for fear of the social consequences on their end. how that damage lasts in any social setting for the rest of your life

Suraj swallowed and their eyes widened just a little bit, just enough to suggest that the comment to them by surprise, but while they wanted to give in to the awkward feeling that settled in their stomach and the blush on their cheeks, they instead - almost forcefully - told their brain that Aroon was asking them for help! They offered a smile. "Yes, of course," they said, trying to sound far more confident than they felt. "I'll help you get home, after all, you've brought me home countless of times." It felt like a great safe. "Oh okay good, alright, we can go after food." They blushed further at the mention of a 'cute' spot, so decided to focus on the dim sum part of the conversation. "I don't know if I've ever had Dim Sum," they admitted. "But I'd love to try it." And they felt like liking it for exactly that reason.

while  aroon  couldn't  wait  for  his  vehicle  to  be  back  in  service  ,  taking  public  transport  gave  him  a  newfound  appreciation  for  others  ,  like  suraj  who  relied  on  the  broken  ,  unreliable  service  .  "  i  truly  believe  i  don't  have  to  practice  much  more  ,  but  at  least  for  the  way  home  ,  maybe  i'll  have  your  expertise  .  "  the  words  don't  leave  his  lips  with  intent  ,  but  the  moment  they're  breathed  into  the  air  ,  they  seem  to  sound  a  little  flirtatious  ,  don't  they  ??  instead  of  lingering  on  it  or  trying  to  trip  over  his  words  ,  reassuring  suraj  that  that  wasn't  actually  intended  to  be  an  invite  home  ,  aroon  moves  quickly  to  their  next  topic  .  "  i've  not  been  to  any  bookstores  around  here  ,  actually  but  that  sounds  so  lovely  .  full  of  hidden  gems  ,  i  bet  ,  huh  ??  "  he  bounces  to  the  heels  of  his  sneakers  ,  squinting  eyes  to  catch  the  name  of  the  nearest  street  sign  .  "  do  you  like  dim  sum  ??  i  think  two  or  three  streets  over  there's  a  cute  spot  we  could  get  some  .  "

Good doesn’t always follow from good deeds, nor bad deeds result form bad, does it? Even the wise and good cannot see the end of all actions. Scary idea! ANEURIN BARNARD as BORIS PAVLIKOVSK in THE GOLDFINCH (2019)

Matevos complexion brightened even more, not that he thought that was in any way possible, he already knew he was the happiest he'd been in years. Certainly since the outbreak. Not that he'd ever been truly unhappy, maybe just slightly sad, but this was very very different. He was over the moon, he was in heaven, he was beyond happiness and into the stages of total bliss when Elspeth accepted his offer and then suggested he'd lead the way. It wasn't like taking a nice stroll around town, of course not. There was still trouble on the horizon, but Matevos choose not to care. He choose to spend all the time he could possibly spend with Elspeth in her company.

"Alright, great, good, fantastic!" He laughed. "Sorry, uhm, I am going to quickly just..." He took a few bites from the food and downed the coffee. It wasn't as good as coffee before the outbreak, but it had been made on the farm he worked on, so he took some pride in his work. "Okay, so, we'll start outside, because I have to show you what I'm working on, of course." He grabbed their hand and held it firmly in his, his big hand enclosing around hers as they made their way out of the dining area. Matevos knew the layout of the prison by heart, it was his home now, and he hoped it would be a home to Elspeth too. "So... the group you came with, how are they? Nice people?"

there had been moments when elspeth had been close to giving up. it would have been easy, to throw themself to the wolves—to those things—that clawed the walls and tried desperately to breach their surroundings. it almost didn't feel fair, that most of the population had fallen, had been transformed, and they were left to walk the streets alone, far from anyone they had loved, and anyone who had loved them. despite the odds, elspeth had fought onward. she had decided to help others, to sacrifice time and safety for the wellbeing of those she encountered on the road. the road to him. the road to the one person that had made her laugh so hard they choked, the face that had haunted every dream and lifted every nightmare. "a date." the words sounded unfamiliar on her tongue. it had been so long since that first moment in the coffee shop, over the steam of their drinks, with the soft swirl of cinnamon and chocolate. the world was dead, but their feelings had never dulled—if anything, they had built and throbbed and grown larger than either of their separate parts. slowly the tears on their cheeks grew tacky, then dried, and elspeth's wide eyes were left staring up at matevos, as though he would fade away, terrified that he was still only a figment of their imagination. "i would like that. i'd like you to show me." since arriving, her room and the infirmary had been the only places elspeth had known. nowhere else felt safe, or welcome, or as though they were anything above the criminals that used to call those walls home. fingers moved to take hold of matevos's hand. "lead the way." @storiesfromthegrave

Suraj smiled, though it was slightly fake and very worried. They knew that Aroon wouldn't lie about having ran, but he did seem a bit winded. Having always had to take the bus, Suraj was a natural at finding their way through public transport, but they knew not everyone was. And they wished they could've been there for Aroon and helped him through it, and they realised how strange that feeling was, so they instantly scolded their own thoughts. "Practice makes perfect," Suraj commented, though they liked that Aroon had a car and could go where he pleased. They liked it as well when they were allowed to sit next to him. More scolding. "Oh uhm, uh," they blabbered and stumbled over their own words. They hugged their arms to their chest as they tried to come up with something. "I was uhm... I am a little hungry... we could uhm... eat somewhere first, if you're hungry too. And uhm... I want to show you this cool old book store, maybe you've already been. But it's really nice. And uhm... cozy."

there's  nothing  like  making  an  entrance  .  actually  ,  it  was  something  aroon  hated  .  luckily  ,  as  his  fumble  played  out  ,  it  was  a)  in  front  of  someone  he  trusted  ,  and  b)  they  weren't  inside  ,  so  did  it  even  count  as  making  an  entrance  ??  "  i  didn't  run  .  i  just  —  "  hurried  .  fingers  adjust  the  strap  of  his  shoulder  bag  and  ruffle  through  hair  ,  attempting  to  fix  whatever  had  become  jostled  in  his  clumsiness  .  " — i  definitely  got  turned  around  and  all  out  of  sorts  .  made  the  trip  into  three  busses  when  i  accidentally  got  off  on  the  wrong  stop  too  .  i  probably  would  have  made  better  time  if  i  followed  your  rule  .  i'll  remember  for  next  time  .  "  although  ,  a  big  part  of  aroon  hoped  that  there  wouldn't  be  a  next  time  as  far  as  busses  were  concerned  .  never  again  taking  having  a  vehicle  for  granted  .  "  did  you  have  any  ideas  in  mind  on  what  you  would  like  to  do  today  ??  "

Suraj's eyes grew wider and they held out both arms in the hopes of catching Aroon, though that was absolutely not necessary. They looked taken aback for a moment as the other simply ignored the whole ordeal and launched right into an apology. "Huh? Oh, no, I'm just early, I think..." they looked at their watch - bought for five dollars at a toy store. "You're only a few minutes later than we said, so not a problem at all, I barely noticed." Which was the truth, Suraj had not noticed at all, they hadn't been busy with the time, their mind kept them far more occupied. "Public transport is a daring excursion," they told the other. "You're brave for trying, I have the rule that if it's more than one bus to get there, I'd rather walk part of the way." They looked him over then. "You didn't run here, did you? It's honestly no problem, I would've also waited if you were running late." They would probably have waited two hours - or more - just to get to hang out with Aroon. Heck, he could even tell them he was a day late and they'd still be just glad to see him.

meeting  up  with  friends  was  something  that  aroon  always  looked  forward  to  .   although  few  and  far  between  (  mostly  just  suraj  and  one  other  that  he  could  actually  call  a  friend  )  it  was  a  warm  welcome  from  spending  free  time  cuddled  up  with  toulouse  and  bingining  netflix  .  a  cat  could  only  uphold  so  many  meows'  to  a  conversation  .  he  greets  the  other  with  a  smile  to  match  ,  beaming  before  effectively  tripping  right  in  front  of  the  other  ,  stumbling  to  catch  himself  on  a  shoe  lace  that  had  come  loose  .  "  oh  ,  gosh  .  "  aroon  manages  to  steady  himself  .  "  hi  .  sorry  if  you  were  waiting  long  .  you  haven't  been  ,  have  you  ??  "  a  hand  parts  black  locks  ,  worried  moreso  on  how  long  suraj  had  been  waiting  than  the  fact  that  he  almost  tasted  cement  .  "  my  car  is  in  the  shop  so  i  thought  i  would  take  the  bus  but  as  it  turns  out  ,  i'm  not  very  well  versed  in  navigating  public  transportation  .  "

Suraj decided to instead of waiting inside of the cafe - where they'd been about 30 minutes before the time them and Aroon had decided to meet up - to wait outside of it. Just because... well, because they were nervous and they felt like fresh air might help to stop themself from overthinking having a nice chill time with a friend. A friend, you hear! Certainly they didn't need their heart to make this anymore difficult, though it was adamant that it tried at least. When they saw Aroon appear around the corner, they smiled and did a little wave, as if it wasn't perfectly clear that they were standing there.
