[ 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. ]

[fluffier]

[ ... She squints, pulling the phone closer. ]

That's tough to understand. "United"...? Is that raccoon?

[dotcom]

I know at least three other people who got something, so I'm trying to see who else so we can look at them all together.

[ unless someone wants to keep it a secret then rip ]

[fluffier]

More hints about the behind the scenes I guess. Are ya gonna call another meeting tomorrow?

[dotcom]

Possibly, yeah. If there's no execution we'll have a lot of time. I was just hoping to find all of them beforehand so we can at least get started on decoding.

[fluffier]

Hmm, if ya got four already there might be... [ mental math ] Four more? If everyone who died is sendin' a message. But there weren't that many last time, right?

[dotcom]

I'm not sure... I don't think they all have individual ones, because it seems like at least three people co-wrote mine.

[fluffier]

[ oh she totally ignored law ]

Hopefully there'll be something useful. And we got this items still to use too.

... I wonder if we're gonna have to fight that thing.

[dotcom]

... I'm not really sure how that would go. Not all of us can fight, and what we have at our disposal is limited.

[fluffier]

[ She scratches her head. ]

Maybe we gotta beat it with the power of indulgence...? But that's just making it stronger.

Hopefully it's got some other weak point.
