[ this is just hug city now. she squeezes him a little tighter and without really realising it, she’s started swaying them both slightly as well. ]

I know you wouldn’t have shot if you thought there was a chance you’d hurt someone.

[ not after last time. ]

[unsync]

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? ]

[ballies]

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.

[ sometimes not being able to do your job is helpful. apparently. ]

You can go and check in on her? Maybe not today, but tomorrow when you’ve had some rest.

If she even wants to see me...

[ 'You've done enough', she yelled at him. She's right, but she accidentally really hit a sore spot with the words. ]

[ballies]

I think that’s more reason to talk to her, don’t you? Just… not today. Emotions will be running high, and I don’t think it would be productive.

[ she is still just swaddling him in a hug while this conversation is occurring. get hugged. ]

[unsync]

[ 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. ]

O...kay...

[ Maybe he'll do like. A text or something. ]

[ballies]

[ she’d sing lullaby but by law it’s infinite rainbow arrow or halves of a whole and now is not the time. ]

…

You’re okay. I’m not going anywhere, and you’re going to be okay.

[ she won’t let him not be. ]

[unsync]

[ Hey Mame's sad-sack song is right there. However that is HER song I guess. ]

It's not really about me, Tama.

[ He does feel like he has to put that out. ]

[ballies]

Sigrun’s going to be okay too.

[ but like

as much as she does like sigrun. she has her priorities ]

[unsync]

[ If she isn't he is really going to be going through it later. ]

...Are you okay?

[ He thinks Tama was there doing... something... (Arson, she was doing arson.) ]

[ballies]

[ when is he not going through it?? ]

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.

[unsync]

[ He's a little okay for now? Maybe? Better than he was at the mini-event itself. ]

If you say so.

[ Hugged into oblivion. If Tama says so, then she must be right. ]

[ballies]

[ that is like. a minute improvement but she’s still like aaaaaa ryuki. ]

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. ]
