... I'm okay.

[not really but he is more okay than some others would be after all that, which in itself makes him feel like a horrible person.]

Sorry if I worried you—and that you had to see that.

[cupidsammo]

[ Well, speaking of. ]

Kind of. ... But I thought to myself that you would know what you're doing. You're a capable fighter, so...

[ Besides, it was only a week ago he chased after Claude to mcmurder him. So, like. ]

[kumeyuri]

Mm. [a pause] ... Well, probably not so capable that I could fight my way through everyone like that for real.

[it's almost a joke. almost.]

It's frustrating that this place insists on dragging things out, though.

[cupidsammo]

[ Haha yeah... She gets it, though. ]

It does feel cruel, but I guess whatever is interfering with everything else is causing that, too.

[kumeyuri]

Probably. Being up there messes with your head.

[cupidsammo]

I bet. I'm just glad you're not too hurt.

... You aren't, right?

[kumeyuri]

[he gives her a peace sign.]

A little sore, but I'm fine. I made it out way less injured than the usual.

[cupidsammo]

Good—I'm glad.

[ BETTER THAN HOW YOUR BOYFRIEND IS DEALING RN ]

... By the way, did you talk to Lucas last night?

[kumeyuri]

[y... yeah..,]

I did.

[cupidsammo]

And... he was affected, right?

It's just—I don't usually go to see whoever's been voted out, but he kept insisting what he did was to help them...

[kumeyuri]

Yeah, he was. [...] He acted more like himself than most of the others did, but in the end, there were still the same kind of holes in his thinking. Like doing things because apparently he just knew or felt that way, but with no real explanation.

[cupidsammo]

Yeah... There was a lot of "saving their souls" talk, so I kind of believed him, but... but his reasoning for why he killed them so cruelly like that made me start to doubt him.

[kumeyuri]

... If you haven't talked with them often, it can throw you off—trying to figure out what's them, and what's not.

[cupidsammo]

[ welp. she sighs tiredly. ]

I guess it's—not good, but I'm a little relieved that isn't actually what he thinks, then.

[kumeyuri]

Mm... I'm concerned with how he'll be when he arrives where the others are, and he returns to normal, but... hopefully they'll be able to help him over there.

[cupidsammo]

[ a slow nod ]

A lot of us care about him, and... I think they would understand.

[ but my god she's fuckin praying he wouldn't normally mcmurder in that fashion ]

[kumeyuri]

Yeah. Although, it's not so much a lack of understanding that I'm worried about, and more his own emotional state when he realizes what he's done...

[cupidsammo]

No, me too.

[ ... ]

I'll... try writing to him, at least.

[kumeyuri]

[he nods, feeling a bit like a hypocrite because he's not in a good state today to even write back to people, let alone reach out to the newly dead, but.]

You might have to be prepared not to receive an answer, but... better to try than not.

[cupidsammo]

That's okay. I can try asking one of the others, too. I'm sure Yves would answer, at least.

[kumeyuri]

Oh, yeah. I bet Yves would be thrilled to get letters.

[cupidsammo]

I know he would, so... I'm definitely writing to him. Along with several more.

[kumeyuri]

They'd probably be happy to hear from you. Pretty much everyone I wrote to responded the first time around.

[cupidsammo]

That's a relief to hear. I need to get better at writing them! I don't want to seem like I'm ignoring them.

[kumeyuri]

[a nod]

It's nice to be able to keep in touch...
