[dendroculi]

I'm unharmed.

How are you feeling?

[camena]

That's not really what I meant?

I'm ok

[dendroculi]

...I'm sad, of course.

And confused.

If I'm more honest about that, will you be honest, too?

[because she thinks alex is far too empathetic to be "okay" right now]

[camena]

Sure. I'm already being honest.

I mean I'm sad. Just like everyone is sad. I'm just a little

I don't know.

[dendroculi]

It's a complicated feeling to put into words, isn't it?

[camena]

Yeah.

So what does your 'more honest' look like? Can you come up with any better words?

[dendroculi]

[NO I TYPOED MY HTML AGAIN.]

I'm upset, of course. Rin was a friend to me... I'm going to miss him a lot.

But I know I'm not the only one who will miss him. Haru, his other teammates, and his other friends must all be hurting, too. I'm worried for them.

And... I'm angry. I knew this was going to happen again, but I'm mad that someone picked him.

[camena]

[ points and laughs, but lovingly ]

It's not like I have anyone else I'd pick first, but...

It seems cruel to pick someone who has a friend with him.

[dendroculi]

It does seem very cruel.

Almost any choice someone could have made is cruel, but this... it seems especially so.

[camena]

We'll figure it out tomorrow.

[dendroculi]

We will.

We know what to expect now... so we can be a little more organized about it.

[camena]

We have to look at each other more. We have to actually be suspicious.

[dendroculi]

Yes, we do...

I don't plan to let this go. Whatever we have to do to find the culprit tomorrow, we'll do it.

[camena]

[ she is so short on energy that even though this is stupid: ]

👍

[dendroculi]

For now... we should probably both get some rest.

But if I can do anything for you, please let me know.

[camena]

Same back to you.

See you tomorrow.

[dendroculi]

See you tomorrow... rest well tonight.
