Really?

[ Huh. ]

Even seeing... how stupid it makes people?

[bxkautx]

All my favorite people are stupid.

[ HELP just looks at her in shock a moment... before cracking a little smile ]

I think you're better at comforting people than you give yourself credit for.

[bxkautx]

[ hums a little. ]

Nope. You're just easily soothed. Not that volatile.

[damp]

I'm still pretty frustrated.

[ ... ]

But I don't hate that they voted for Matsuno-san as much as I could.

[bxkautx]

People get frustrated.

[ some people, even, historically handle it worse. her emotions do go a little spiky at that, but smooth out again after a second. ]

... I like talking to him. But I get it.

[damp]

[ hm ]

... Asuka, too. You were friends, weren't you?

[bxkautx]

I wouldn't go that far. But it was similar enough. I like talking to him.

Felt... some level of responsibility for him.

[damp]

[ ... ]

Then I'm sorry. I helped kill him.

[bxkautx]

That's okay. He asked Ace to kill him if he was still alive. It's a misplaced sense of responsibility anyway. Even I know that.

So it's like... not really a big deal?

[damp]

... If you're sure.

You can be upset at me if you want.

[ which like ... He doubts he has to tell her ]

[bxkautx]

You know... anger's easier than anything else.

But somehow I just don't really have much of it in this place.

[damp]

Because it's pointless? There's no real blame to throw around?

[bxkautx]

Something like that. No one wanted to be here in the first place, and... the consequences aren't going to last.

It's just so temporary.

[damp]

Does it feel intrusive then...? Getting everyone's crazy emotions?

[bxkautx]

Yeah, I'll be honest, I preferred sharing memories over emotions.

[damp]

You don't think it's exotic? Like "wow, this is what it's like to be sad all the time".

[bxkautx]

Haha.

[damp]

I guess not?

[bxkautx]

Those kinds of emotions are hard to differentiate.
