Maybe. But I'd be less angry.

[ since mineo basically pointed everyone to the one thing that would give him away. confessing after the time limit is up is one thing. ]

[fluffier]

[ Glances away. ]

Sorry, shoulda just believed in ya that it wasn't important if ya left it behind. But... nothing's gonna happen to 'im. No one voted today, which is really amazing.

[dotcom]

[ he sighs. ]

No. But I won't be surprised if someone goes after him.

[fluffier]

Why? Because someone has to die each week?

[dotcom]

We don't actually know if that's true.

But you heard what Primrose said.

[fluffier]

[ is denial an emotion? ]

No, but she didn't- She wouldn't vote for Mineo. Everyone knows he's not dangerous.

[dotcom]

She said she wouldn't but only if she got to take care of it after trial. So, it's up to her to decide on if she wants to actually follow through with that or not.

[fluffier]

[ This is extremely upsetting to think about. ]

But that was before she knew it was Mineo. I'll just ask her and settle it. No one voted this week, and that... has to be a positive sign.

[dotcom]

[ he sighs. ]

... we'll see. Trying to pressure her to a decision may have a bad effect, but I can't say I'm too close to her to know how she'd react.

[fluffier]

[ She doesn't particularly want to bully Primrose either. ]

It ain't easy to stop worryin'... [ Glances at him. ] Would you have killed Childe?

[dotcom]

Honestly? I would just be a poor choice to do it. I don't have any combat skills.

[ like, just logically speaking, it would be dumb of him to make the attempt. ]

[fluffier]

... I thought you might've helped. When we were thinkin' 'bout accomplices.

[dotcom]

[ there's a bitter laugh. ]

He'd never let me actually go out there and help him.

[fluffier]

Yer upset he didn't ask ya to help him.

[ Just a statement. ]

[dotcom]

I'm upset about a lot of things.

[ it's... complicated, and that's evident in his tone and just also. everything else. ]

[fluffier]

Well. [ Her concern is obvious, but her tone suggests she knows this won't go anywhere. ] If ya ever wanna unload yer laundry list, I'm here for ya.

[dotcom]

I probably won't.

[ it has nothing to do with her, honestly. he just refuses to vent in general. ]

It's been a long day for everyone, anyway.

[fluffier]

[ Weirdly enough, she doesn't take it personally. Just rubs her eyes with a sigh. ]

Yeah, we could use some rest... I dunno if anyone would blame ya got yellin' at Mineo though.

[dotcom]

... if they did, I wouldn't really care, honestly.

[ the majority of his relationship with mineo is yelling at him, so why stop now. ]

[fluffier]

[ She laughs. ]

That's true. He's lucky to have a friend like you. [ (:! ] Give 'im an extra hard time about not relying on others, okay? I'm mad about that too.

[dotcom]

That might be a problem multiple people here have.

[ himself included.

and then he frowns. ]

And I wouldn't say we're friends/

[fluffier]

[ Winds an arm around him to give him a very gentle noogie. ]

You don't have to say something for it to be true. But worryin' isn't something ya do for someone ya hate.

[dotcom]

[ he just huffs, annoyed.

and then pauses. ]

Did you receive any weird texts today?

[fluffier]

[ She didn't get smacked...???

Let's him go, but the ray of happiness is probably just as annoying. ]

No? Did you?

[dotcom]

[ he pulls his phone out of his pocket and holds it out to show this. ]
