I don't know, Tama... I just, all the clones really freaked me out, and seeing the guy responsible, I just...
[ Mixed memories of Tearer and Horadori hit him like a truck (lol) and he doesn't know. He just blacked out for a moment? And next thing he knew, he'd fired, and Sigrun was yelling at him, and there was blood. ]
They're okay, right?
[ He didn't seriously hurt Sigrun? He didn't kill the scientist? ]
I think so…? You were too freaked out to be aiming with precision, and— [ well. ] I’m not there to help steady your aim when your adrenaline’s too high.

You can go and check in on her? Maybe not today, but tomorrow when you’ve had some rest.
[ He is hugged and swayed. The fact is that even the toughest of humans are ultimately not immune to baby psychology. The repetitive motion helps whether he wants it to or not. ]

He's too weak to protest anyway, his spirit has left him for the time being. She can temp-check him. No fever. ]
no subject
and then he’s just getting a hug. i’m going in for the big hugs now it’s been a month. ]
no subject
I didn't... I thought I had fake bullets...
[ Fake meaning rubber in this case. ]
no subject
I know you wouldn’t have shot if you thought there was a chance you’d hurt someone.
[ not after last time. ]

[ 'You've done enough', she yelled at him. She's right, but she accidentally really hit a sore spot with the words. ]
no subject
[ she is still just swaddling him in a hug while this conversation is occurring. get hugged. ]
no subject
O...kay...
[ Maybe he'll do like. A text or something. ]
no subject
…
You’re okay. I’m not going anywhere, and you’re going to be okay.
[ she won’t let him not be. ]
no subject
It's not really about me, Tama.
[ He does feel like he has to put that out. ]
no subject
[ but like
as much as she does like sigrun. she has her priorities ]
no subject
...Are you okay?
[ He thinks Tama was there doing... something... (Arson, she was doing arson.) ]
no subject
I’m fine, Ryuki.
[ she really was just the arson queen all night. pours one out for ace’s clone ]
No injuries or issues here.
no subject
If you say so.
[ Hugged into oblivion. If Tama says so, then she must be right. ]
no subject
You’d be able to see if I was injured.
[ yeah. he’s just living through this hug. this big hug. this would be nice if he wasn’t suffering the aftermath of extreme trauma. ]
