Hey!

[leaberator]

You deserve this.

[ but he lets her go not long after ]

Fine, I'll tell 'em. But if they get too deep in questions, I'm sending them right to you.

[whitewalls]

But I don't know anything.

[ she is innocent ]

[leaberator]

Then you better learn fast.

[whitewalls]

[ she just smiles

... although it falters for a second. ]

Axel, did you cover for Mary? Lili told me that you covered for someone else who was corrupted, and she's the only person I can think of.

[leaberator]

[ ... how does Lili know...?

Oh. Of course. ]

... Yeah. I did.

[ he doesn't explain himself more than that ]

[whitewalls]

Please be careful. People might start not trusting you anymore if she goes and tells other people.

[ him defending xion could maybe be somewhat overlooked just because people know how close they are. mary was his partner and it was the first week so they had no idea what was going on, so that might help as well, but...

it's not a good look and she knows that. ]

[leaberator]

Think that's already happening. [ he shrugs ] Ookurikara was the one I told.

[ why, you may ask. he asks himself that one daily!! ]

[whitewalls]

... because you felt bad over Tsurumaru?

[ look, in theory it makes sense why axel would want to apologize to him

however, now that they very clearly know what kara's personality is like, yeah. dumb idea. ]

[leaberator]

... Yeah.

[ he looks down ]

I keep thinking I know what the right thing to do is now, but I guess I haven't learned.

[whitewalls]

... I think we're all still learning.

And it's a little... different for us. There's so many of us from the same place, while almost everyone else arrived alone. So they had to build their relationships from scratch when we already had a sort of support system right away.

[leaberator]

Yeah. Guess that's true.

[ it's pensive, but then-- ]

Does that mean Lili figured out you covered for Xion, too?

[ he sounds worried. ]

[whitewalls]

... not that I faked her power. I think they all still think she used Reflection on me.

[ and hopefully they will continue to think that! ]

But otherwise, yes.

[leaberator]

... Okay. If that changes, tell me, alright?

[ it's one thing for people to start distrusting him-- it is, all in all, probably deserved and definitely to be expected, not to mention he's used to it-- and another thing entirely to drag naminé into it. ]

I don't think she'd go around telling people, but...

[whitewalls]

... I like to think that she wouldn't either. The fact that she even approached me about it instead of just going to other people has to mean something, right?

[ it means lili is honest enough to confront her instead of just gossiping behind her back. ]

[leaberator]

Yeah. Lili's upfront. ... Painfully so, sometimes.

[ she's ruthless ]

[whitewalls]

... mm. I think I managed to get her to not be too upset with me though.

[ naminé may not be on thin ice but she can't really say that it definitely won't crack. ]

[leaberator]

... That's good. I know I already said it, but... sorry.

[whitewalls]

It's okay. It was my decision to help in the end.

[leaberator]

I guess, but...

[whitewalls]

If anything happens, I'll handle it.

[leaberator]

That's exactly what I don't want to happen.

[whitewalls]

[ ah... she sighs. ]

Well, hopefully it won't even be an issue.

[leaberator]

Yeah. Hopefully.

[ ah, right. ]

Oh, one last thing. Milla's got some kind of protection role? But... If she successfully protects someone, it's basically trading their life for hers. Keep that in mind if anything happens to her.

[whitewalls]

... that's such a sad ability.

[ and milla seems like the type of person who would use it without hesitation. ]
