I was trying to teleport into space.

[ they continue to eat their ice cream blithely ]

Because we're meant to take care of you guys! Besides, half of the group doesn't even like us anyway.

[heartablaze]

So? Why can't it be both ways? How's it go, ummm.... "you scratch our back, we'll scratch yours"?

...

[Her face softens.]

Were you trying to save Ruler-san and Shuuya-kun, Swan-san?

[retellers]

Because that's just adding us as a stress factor for you guys.

[ they sound sullen, and gnaw on their spoon instead of eating more at her question ]

I guess. I thought maybe if I could grab him when he went out, he'd be fine. And then he pulled out the scalpels.

[ so. that was a thing. ]

[heartablaze]

[that SURE WAS A THING...

...]

Thank you. For trying.

I'm... really, really glad other people cared what happened to him, even if... [you know. stabbities.]

[retellers]

He was innocent. Well. Before he tried to stab Jeanne. [ they sigh a little ] I don't know. It's not like trying did anything.

[heartablaze]

...I'd rather try and fail then have to regret never trying at all, right?

I think Tiger-san was too harsh on you.

[retellers]

[ immediately; ]

Tiger's a jerk. [ then sigh ] But a right one, in this case. And this case only!
