... still, I can't treat this any differently just because of that...

[leaberator]

Of course you can. There's no reason for you to pretend this doesn't affect you.

[whitewalls]

[ there's a long pause, and then she covers her face

and in the most muffled and softest voice, ]

I liked him.

[leaberator]

[ oh. oh. ...oh, no. ]

... Naminé... I'm sorry.

[ wow is he not qualified to talk about this ]

... But that's not a bad thing. Liking someone.

[whitewalls]

I wasn't going to tell anyone...

[ since he was dating akane and she isn't a homewrecker

but now minato's dead, so. ]

[leaberator]

... Geez. You really do have the worst luck, huh?

[whitewalls]

[ that gets a short laugh out of her ]

Maybe.

[leaberator]

[ he hesitates, for a second-- it's natural to do it to xion now, but... should he ask? if she wants a hug?

in the end, he doesn't, only patting her head a bit before changing the subject back. ]

I'll try and figure out from Shess who he heard it from. Maybe that way I can learn the details. It's a solution right now, but it doesn't have to be the only one.

[whitewalls]

Please make sure that it doesn't get back to Valvatorez that I told you. I kind of told him I'd keep it a secret...

[ but uh this is kind of really important info that axel should know about. so. ]

It'll help if we can find out how they got this information over there, too. Maybe Shess knows.

[leaberator]

Don't worry about it. I can pretend between this [ the oracle bell ] and asking Sol about it that I got the info on my own.

[ he is a professional at evading the truth,,, ]

Yeah. It's a way, but if we can find any proof that it's not the only way...

[whitewalls]

[ she nods

and then pauses. ]

... but if it really is the only way...

[leaberator]

... Let's not worry about that yet, alright?

[whitewalls]

[ she nods. ]

... you're the only one I've told.

[leaberator]

... Until we know for sure, we should probably try and keep it contained as much as possible.

[whitewalls]

... right. It'll be bad if someone started doing things on their own and then it turns out there's another way.

[leaberator]

Yeah. I doubt Val and Shess aren't already looking for other ways, but... the problem might be trying to keep it contained on the dead side of things.

[ fucking hisoka ]

[whitewalls]

It'll be easier if we knew who they've already told, but it's not like people here would just offer that information easily.

[leaberator]

I'll check with Shess. If he knows I know, he might be more willing to tell me who else he's told.

[whitewalls]

Alright.

I guess we can keep an eye on whoever knows...

[leaberator]

Considering how many people wound up dead today? Probably way more than we'd want to.

[whitewalls]

[ ... ]

It would probably be worse if they hadn't heard about it...

[ because she doubts with that many victims, that all of the killers were corrupted unless someone killed more than once ]

[leaberator]

Yeah.

[ everything is? a mess? but it's? fine? ]

[whitewalls]

[ going back to threads after trials is always so funny

anyway ]

Let's just... try our best.

[leaberator]

Nothing more we can do.

[ his best is terrible we've been over this ]

[whitewalls]

... at least you have those items for partnerships.
