Mm...

We were looking for Misa on Thursday night. It's why I couldn't say where I was until we got locked in somewhere on accident.

[sengokus]

Ohhhh.

[he just nods then]

.... don't make me nervous like that again, if you can.

[not being able to pinpoint takeru's location made him feel weird]

But - I get it. Harrow-san probably wanted to keep it limited if she could, right?

[dotcom]

Yeah. We were hoping the curse would have been enough to get her to stop, and were worried that if it spread too much, someone might target Misa. It's also why we waited so long to even out her... we didn't want to without any real evidence.

But the other plan was to try to stay with her for curfew so we could just subdue her before we all fell asleep.

[sengokus]

[he has no idea how to feel about this plan when most of the people in the group who seemed to know aren't really combat-ready except for like. vira.

. . . . so he just pillows his head in his arms as he sighs. it makes enough sense that he can't and won't really complain but.]

.... rely on me more next time, if you need to.

[he doesn't really seem to care how he's used - he just knows he has a preference ahead of his friends doing dangerous things without him. he had his own task but it still doesn't sit right with him.]

[dotcom]

[ ...

he'll lean in closer so that he can look down at mineo. ]

Well, hopefully we won't be in such a stupid situation like that one again.

[sengokus]

[nope! he's looking away.]

.... hopefully not. But if you are - just tell me what to do... if you think I can handle it.

[ . . . ]

Sorry, by the way.

For making everything harder.

[he honestly feels pretty bad for how - well, loudly he reacted. there's something about him that tends to react rather automatically to things, and those automatic reactions are often beyond stupid. he can at least recognize that much]

[dotcom]

You're just an easy target to curse. We'll have to work on that.

[ he can admit that it's amusing, but his annoyance that it even happens wins out in the end. ]

But I'll tell you more, when I can.

[sengokus]

[ . . . he glances at takeru then, a little surprised at the agreement and even the use of 'we' before he just snorts quietly.]

.... yeah. I know I'm a hothead, but I don't want it to get in the way of the actual work we need to do.

I messed up - but I'll do better.

[dotcom]

I have a few things to think about, too, I guess.

[ he's just going to lay down on his back ]

[sengokus]

[they're stargazing and it was such a tiring trial mineo can't even bring it up]

.... like?

[dotcom]

Just wondering what I could have done differently.

But it won't change anything now.

[sengokus]

[he glances over to him now]

.... even if it doesn't change stuff now - it still matters so long as you carry it with you.

[ . . . ]

What do you have regrets over, Takeru?

[dotcom]

Just how the information was handled. If we outed Misa earlier, if it would have given us more time to focus on Eleanor.

I was partly waiting for Harrowhark to say something, since she was the one who actually spoke to Misa. But then she got cursed.

[sengokus]

[ . . . . ]

I don't know if there's any way to be able to tell that someone's memories got messed with. I was following Harrow-san's lead too, even after you texted me.

But... that's probably what Amane-san was banking on.

[dotcom]

She was probably hoping that no one else knew.

[ he rolls over onto his side. ]

Even though we got someone who would have killed, it still feels like a loss.

[sengokus]

[ . . . . also rolling over onto his side]

... what would a win look like, to you?

[dotcom]

Finding out who killed Eleanor, if it wasn't actually Misa.

Being right in a trial, for once.

[sengokus]

... then let's find out if it was her. We can ask her and the Avatars, and see if we've been misled again.

[ . . . ]

And we'll figure it out, if you don't count Law-san. We'll get it right.

[dotcom]

We can talk about things we find out tonight tomorrow. I'm not in too much of a mood to overanalyze crap at the moment.

[ he wants a day off ]

[sengokus]

[he just snorts a bit at that, amused, but he won't disagree]

I think you worked hard enough to earn a break, yeah. No point on gathering incomplete testimony anyway when everything might make more sense in the morning.

[even if it's just how they process it]

.... then what do you wanna do now?

[dotcom]

I don't know.

[ he's still in work mode, honestly, but he's just so agitated that he doesn't want to approach people just yet. ]

[sengokus]

[ . . . . hmmmmm.

he'll roll over then, looking up at the stars]

.... why'd you come in here?

[dotcom]

It's quiet.

[ ... ]

Well, I met Greed in here earlier, so I just stayed after.

[sengokus]

[ . . . . he snorts softly at that.]

Interesting place to meet.

[he'll point out up at the stars]

If one of them fell right now, what would you wish for? Not counting what we're actually here for.

[dotcom]

Really?

[ this is so sappy.

... ]

Secret.
