People tell thirteen year olds everything. [ he doesn't look too thrilled, but. ] I got a letter from Yoru that basically said she'd kill us all if anybody else expressed condolences for what Todomatsu said, but I thought she was just embarrassed. Which, I guess she is, but for a totally different reason.
Todomatsu has the storyteller's ink, and Scaramouche grabbed the chao. So... Roxana must have the mask? It's the best I can figure. Not that it matters much now, what's done is done, but it gives us an idea of how to track things.
[ immediately grabs her face like an idiot sandwich. ]
I know, I know. But let's not freak, at least we know. I mean it's annoying he lied about it and it's stupid and I don't know why, but Kate trusts him. So we need to trust her.
[ maybe he should have only told the guys actually, but. ]
I get that it's a breech of trust, but he must have his reasons. And he must have his reasons for telling Kate, so if anything we have to keep a lid on this for her.
... it just makes him a shitty person for putting on a whole performative thing, honestly, but. [ there are a handful of shitty people here tbh. ]
We had a few things in common. And he was always there for me, and I was trying very hard to rekindle that friendship here, even if it's weird starting on different pages.
But I'm just...why go that far? Why pretend to be possessed? Why can't anyone be normal?
[ he doesn't say anything because she was possessed, but he does remember that she killed someone he misses more and more every time she writes him, so.
but he shrugs softly. ]
I think Rin and Haru are right, it's self-preservation. And given the way this game has been going, it's not a bad strategy. I don't like it or agree with it, but I can sort of see the point. Kate said he had the ink, but I don't know if that's just what he told her or he showed her.
... just remember what our goals are. Achievements to solidify this and so we can bring everyone back. If we trust him enough not to use the ink for something dangerous, we can focus on him later.

I trusted him! He was one of my best friends in space!

Just looking very tense, trying to keep it cool.]
I won't go blabbing around like — sorry! I'm okay! I will be fine. But what is wrong with him?! That's not the guy I knew at all!

I comforted him. I'm such an idiot.

You said he might have the ink?

she takes the water.]
Thank you Jacopo.
[Sucks it back with fire in her eyes.]

[ Of course Jonas said to keep it lowkey, but... ]
no subject
No, I know. I won't say or do anything. I won't jeopardize anything.
It's just going to be hard looking him in the eye knowing it. Pretending to still respect him...ugh.
no subject
Even if it seems unnecessary.
no subject
[She thins her lips.]
If he did take the ink maybe I understand. And I do get why he might want to throw off suspicion. But understanding doesn't mean I agree with it.
no subject
[ But he agrees and is sympathetic for her. ]
Make sure to find a good outlet if you feel like screaming.

It might make sense, that's the one he'd take. If anything. That's all.
no subject
Kate didn't seem all that surprised either and like she trusted he'd use it for something good. Or at least not harmful. Do you think the same?
no subject
But then again, I didn't think he'd do any of this. So what do I know.
[nothing, apparently.]
