...Hey. Can I come in?

Edited 2019-07-13 03:45 (UTC)

Like I'm gonna say no.

[ but he lets her in after that quip ]

This is a right mess, huh?

...If any of the people who killed weren't corrupted, I'm going to be pissed.

... You and me both. [ he lets out a breath ] I get Shirasu-- but the rest were of 'em...

Even that's...

[She sighs.]

I mean, trust me, I hate him as much as the next person - but I don't see how that solves anything.

To be honest, we got along fine besides the whole stabbing thing.

[ so he. y'know. agrees? ]

...Please don't get along with people who tried to kill you.

That'd really limit my options of who I can talk to back home.

Please tell me you realize how worrying that sounds.

[Without waiting for an answer, though, she continues.]

...Were you close with any of them?

... All of 'em but Shirasu.

[ he liked those kids. ]

...Yeah. Me too.

[She doesn't seem to know just what else to say about it, though.]

... It's probably bad that it feels more personal now, huh?

I don't think that's going to change. With a smaller number, it's more likely it'll be someone we care about every week from now on.

... Yeah. But I didn't think it'd be that many at once.

...Neither did I. I've gotten used to it being more calm than that here. Maybe I shouldn't have.

This is the worst it's ever been. I dunno that we should've expected it.

Things usually have a way of getting worse.

[...She shakes her head, as if to clear it.]

But - we'll figure out who did it. We almost always have.

... Sure. By the skin of our teeth, but I guess we have.

Hey, it beats not making it by the skin of our teeth.

Never said otherwise.

[ but they both should by tomorrow oops ]
