[honestly he deserves to]

... Rough time, huh?

I mean, you saw what a trainwreck that was.

... Yeah. Sorry you somehow got roped into that—it really wasn't fair of him to put that on you.

Ugh. I thought it was supposed to be a ploy to get at the actual killer. Like, if Dion-san had already refused to accuse him, then he wouldn't have been okay with him sacrificing himself in his place either and would have come forward to stop it before it got there!

[sigh]

Guess that was expecting too much.

Apparently!! [ takes a drink ] Welp, won't make the mistake of thinking that guy can think rationally again!

And if anyone else asks you to do something like that again, be very concerned...

Yep, I am done doing spontaneous favors.

[...]

Want a river bean?

[HE SEEMS LIKE HE COULD USE IT...]

[ considers ]

...Do those really not do anything?

... No, they're just tasty, and good food lifts people's spirits?

But if you really want something with an effect, I still have two of those happles that make you only feel happy for a few hours?

[ shakes his head ]

Nah, save those for something worse. I'm fine with being angry.

[ ... ]

I'll take a bean though, I guess.

Gotcha.

[holds out a bean to him]

[ takes a bean

eats it ]

...Thanks.

[ these really are pretty good beans. ]

How many do you have left at this point?

[he thinks...]

I managed to get another supply [because i couldn't think of anything else to use the home item voucher on] so hopefully enough to last another few weeks, as long as I'm careful...

Yeah, maybe you should be a little less generous...

Hey, they're best when shared.

If you say so...

[ ...and then because it's still memshare week we're going into the void for a memory that i finally got the audio synced on after like 12 tries, jesus christ vlc. ]

[WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST WATCH]

... Is this what having siblings is like...?

[ that was a relatively tame one!!! ]

When all the siblings are total shitheads, yeah, pretty much.

You don't have any, huh?

[he shrugs.]

I'm an only child, for better or for worse.

Mm... Do you think it's usually one more than the other? Better or worse?

Oh, we're getting into the deep questions now, huh? [thinks...] Well, depends on the family, right? There are people out there who wouldn't trade their siblings for anything, and there are those who don't get along.

I've never complained about being an only child, though sometimes it does seem like it'd be nice to have a sibling.

[ he's both of those... ]

It's just hard for me to even imagine it. I've been stuck with the five of them since before we were even born.
