You need better sense for weaving the right rumour.
[Sigh. Well, she'll appreciate it anyway, probably. A-ya sits beside her and tips his head up slightly. Telling this rumour like a normal person wouldn't work. The target is a single person. That single person is someone he knows well at this point, so it's both easy to understand what she might like but also difficult to think of a satisfying lie to twist for her.
B-ko, simply by staying around him more often, presents a unique challenge. Especially now, A-ya wants to provide something that will spark her interest. It's always so disappointing when he can't. Even if C-ta will gladly smile and take interest in his rumours, there's something to be said about a fickle audience.
So with that in mind, he speaks in a calm but quiet voice.]
...Supposedly, this station was abandoned because it no longer had any use. There are plenty of abandoned stations. That isn't so strange. This one closed due to a new station opening at a more convenient location, with up-to-date technology. That's right, people forgot the bizarre series of suicides here entirely. Couples with no history of problems would suddenly jump in front of the trains.
There was no reason. All of them had been in healthy, committed relationships for a while. Their parents all approved. Their friends spoke of their happiness and how jealous they made everyone feel. They were all the most unlikely types to do a lovers' suicide.
But, eye witnesses always spoke of a 'culprit'. They claimed there weren't suicides. I wonder if 'she' is listening right now...
