[ honestly valid, the exhaustion is definitely winning out over the other emotions here. ]

Yep... real one-two punch with that one.

...At least we didn't have to see Kasuga-san die in front of us, though.

[ with just a little rumble of grief. ]

...Yeah. And in a super fucked up way, too.

We were both still pretty freaked out by that last night.

[ yeah that one is. gonna stick with him. mngh. ]

No kidding. I was, too. Really should've checked on Maya and Matsuoka, but I... didn't really have it in me to talk to people, after that.

Yeah, same... They were being taken care of, at least, but... would've really sucked if they'd died right after.

I try not to think about that... But I'm glad they're both still here. [ ... ] I mean, of course Maya is. I think everyone would lose their shit if she'd been killed again, especially this soon.

...God, that would really be the worst possible set of achievements to be involved in. Revived immediately after dying, died immediately after reviving.

[ the shamspeare achievement...

shakes his head. ]

Definitely glad no one decided to try that.

Thankfully no one here is that much of an asshole. And I think Maya, of all people, probably deserves that the least.

[ the way you can just say that without reservation now because ryo is dead

he nods. ]

Yeah, the first time was already bad enough.

[ he genuinely didn't know ryo well enough to say this anyway ]

Mm. Though now she has to go through trials again, and that sucks in its own way. [ sighs. ] Let's just hope tomorrow isn't as messy as the last few have been.
