week 5, post-trial

[usogi]

[senri was admittedly missing for an hour after trial - and when he's back, it's obvious that he was crying. but he has to keep moving, he has to keep going. he's had his break and he'll look all throughout the temple until he reaches the fourth floor and

breathes in]

... there you are, Connor-san.

[ . . . ]

I'm sorry.

i thought i replied to this rip

[tootsiepop]

[...]

Why are you sorry this time?

[It could come of as terse, but. He's so tired. He doesn't want to clog up his processes by attempting to understand interactions like this one.]

KLSDJFLKSJDF you good

[usogi]

.... I only did half of what I said I'd do.

[and his shoulders slump, and he looks around - as if trying to imagine this area covered in flame. what did ray see, up here?

. . . ]

I think it was Ambition.

If only one between Justice and Cunning was guilty - and it was Cunning.... and Sincerity and Merriment didn't do it....

It has to be Ambition.

I know three of them, but I'm still missing two.

[senri breathes in]

... please help me.

[tootsiepop]

... Okay.

[No counterarguments. No disagreeing with Senri's self-deprecating statement. Just "okay."]

How can I best help you?

[usogi]

[ . . .

he's about to answer but then he

pauses]

... what's wrong, Connor-san?

I...

How are you feeling?

[tootsiepop]

... All my systems are functional. There's no need to be concerned.

[He's fine. It's fine. He's thriving.]

Please, let's get back on topic.

[usogi]

... that was my topic.

I'm worried about you. It feels like you're getting further away from us.

[tootsiepop]

You asked me to help you. That was your original topic.

[... Well, not quite. But he's not touching Senri's concern for him with a ten foot pole.]
