[ Oh, I see. Looks at them. ]

You brought those back with you?

I didn't have them earlier, so I guess they showed up on me when I arrived.

[ He is mostly focused on Rin until his attention strays a bit to the right. ]

[ Well, Rin does think the plushie looks like Vi but that's not important.

Also glances to the right. ]

Is your head okay?

Are you checking to see if my head's screwed on right?

[ An almost offended look, but he gets it. ]

[ Looking back at him now. ]

You saw Manwol and the others last week, right? These trips can mess with you.

[ His shoulders slacken. ]

I'm Jacopo Bearzatti. 26 years old. I live in California, USA. I used to work in real estate, but now I own a cafe. I also own four dogs: Rocco, Olive, Vera, and Harold. Does that sound right?

[ No, it does not. ]

Do you also have a boyfriend named Adolphe...?

I'm single?

[ It does not sound right, but he's not sure if pointing that out will make Jacopo panic. ]

It's... close. What happened in there?

I was researching the liquor license process since I was thinking of turning the second floor into a speakeasy.

[ Starts peeling a mandarin. ]

... Okay. How'd you get so injured?

[ ... GOOD QUESTION. He kind of stares off into the distance for a second, but less in an unfocused way, but more like there's something there way.

But he comes back to. ]

I'm pretty sure somewhere during the trip, I had a rifle and I was in an underground city. I got injured in that one, I think.

[ Is he being Jinx right now. ]

Are you looking at something?

[ who knows

He shakes his head, though his eyebrows are furrowed deeply. ]

I found Strohl and Rupert in the one where I had a rifle. For some reason, I believed Rupert killed my mother. They were both already injured at the time which made it easier for me.

But you know those memories aren't the real you.

[ ... ]

Why were you wearing a dress?

Rupert did kill my mother

[ OKAY ]

Oh... sorry. I don't think now is a good time for revenge though.

Rupert and I are fine.

[ That bodes ill for the CYOA, but it's okay. ]

... That's good. [ He thinks. ] What about Strohl?

He's annoying.

That's all you think about him? After that trip?

Why are you looking at me like that?

I just thought... I don't know.

You've been through a lot together, haven't you?

You also think Haruka is annoying despite being together for a long time, don't you? I don't see much of a difference, except I've known Strohl for not as long. I'm not saying that I don't appreciate him and Rupert being there, but who in their right mind approaches someone with a volatile and dangerous gun thinking friendship will prevail. I very much wanted both dead.

[ Looks at Jacopo's expression to properly understand the tone of his message. ]
