[ ...

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.

[sengokus]

You can't say secret, you don't know what else to talk about so I got to pick.

[dotcom]

Fine.

Tell me what you would wish for.

[sengokus]

A trip to Kyoto after Osaka.

[wow]

[dotcom]

Pick something else.
