[ the treats are probably warm pastries and cookies. ]

Then I will later. [ god if you die i'm gonna flip. they nod at the mention of them liking the treats. ] In the meantime.. you're not too hurt, are you?

[honkinbigteeth]

[she's got some gnarly looking scratches all over her face, but otherwise it isn't very obvious if something is wrong with her.]

I'm okay. I don't really know how everyone else got so hurt. I wasn't there for that part.

[propense]

[ there's of course concern at the scratches but, they are but a drifter. ]

You were separated from them? It had been that way at the beginning of my excursion a few weeks back... [ but, they shake their head. ] When you can, make sure you treat those scratches, okay? It would be bad for them to get infected.

[honkinbigteeth]

[drift auras them away.

also i hope so bad you guys are lying and you bought the psych change pin.]

Yeah. We - I was with Amelia for a while, but then she disappeared, too.

[propense]

[ the psych change.... ]

But you must have regrouped again at the end?

[honkinbigteeth]

Yeah. We all showed up in the same place, and they were all hurt and stuff.

[propense]

If it put you all on separate paths, there's really no saying what everyone went through... I'm sorry, Ylfa. I hope it wasn't too hard on you.

[honkinbigteeth]

It wasn't, don't worry. I mostly got to bake cookies and hang out with Rin and Amelia.

[propense]

[ baking scratches.. ]

..At least, it must have been nice to see Rin. [ but ] I'm glad you didn't get too hurt.

[honkinbigteeth]

[yea!]

I felt bad I couldn't help the others more.

[propense]

It's alright. On those trips... you don't really have a lot of control over what happens.

[propense]

[ monsters rights.. ]

...I did. But, it's not really something I could hold off from doing forever. Eventually, I would've killed them. Our.. minds join in with the Gnos, so we'll do what benefits them in the end. I was just lucky enough that when I'm infected, I don't lose complete control and go rampage.

[honkinbigteeth]

That is lucky.

[it's definitely very lucky, in her opinion.]

I'm glad you're not infected now, but I also think - maybe when people become monsters, it's showing a truer part of them that you might otherwise never see. I like the monster you are, Setsu. You still...helped.

[honkinbigteeth]

...Yeah, exactly. It's stupid. I'll fight furniture or jump into the mouth of a giant fish or run into danger or anything and I don't care. But just going to school and baking cookies for a while made me feel, I dunno. Completely crazy.

[propense]

[ they're quiet for a moment. it isn't just that those are words they've heard of before, it's also that-- ]

...I've never thought it of that way. [ that the true parts of them would show, even in that state. ] ..Thank you, Ylfa. That.. [ ... ] I'm glad that you do.

[propense]

I know I would be pretty restless in that kind of environment as well. Some people are just naturally used to more mundane events and lives like that than others.

[honkinbigteeth]

Is that still how things are, in your world? It's like, loops and stuff, and sometimes you're infected?

[honkinbigteeth]

[nods. she is a barbarian she halves everything but psychic damage.]

Yeah, and the cookies weren't that nice. It was actually making me feel really bad. Like, Rin was there, but he was just ignoring me.

[propense]

[ a barbarian im in tears good for her good for her ]

When I saw my teammate in mine, it was like it was actually him.. I'm surprised that Rin ignored you. That isn't like him. [ he would never ignore ylfa ]

[propense]

Only for me, but yes. My life was saved.. but at the cost of being entrapped in endless time loops. [ but they don't seem overly upset by that fact ] In some of them, I end up infected and eliminate the people around me one by one. In others, I'm on the human side, trying to find the infected and stop them.

[honkinbigteeth]

...It isn't, no.

[that argument does work on her.]

He was paying attention to Amelia.

tuesday; week 5

[honkinbigteeth]

hey i just wanted to say thanks
what you said to me and haru was really nice
i feel like
weve talked to some people about things
not in too much detail but some people had figured it out
and most people even if they were mad kind of understood

but for you to just say "ill help you if you need it"
youre really cool setsu
and it means a lot

[propense]

In the end of it all, we're all trying to survive.
We all have people we want to save and protect.
And for that reason, I don't think anyone should be blamed for trying to do that.

I want to save your team as much as I want to save my own.
I would like to save everyone, really.
So even if officially we aren't a team together, I still want to help you both.
You can always count on me if needed.

[honkinbigteeth]

i would like to save everyone too
i dont know for sure if its possible
but i want to try
and i want to save you guys

i know youve been through a lot
alex and jonas also have been through some crazy things but they still
feel like normal teenagers to me
and kazuki too

haru and rin were like that also
but rin dying hurt haru a lot and made him feel like he had to change
and id like it if alex and jonas and kazuki didnt have to go through that
i know they have anyway because we all care about people here and because
theyve lost people before but
i still dont know if im the same as them and i dont know if you are either

i would be really happy if your team manages to survive to the end

[propense]

I know you do.
That's why I trust you.
You have a good heart, Ylfa.

This place has a way of pushing people to change, to consider things they've never had to do before...
My situation has been similar to this, though.. with more time loops, time and time again rewinding, and alternate universes.
I've watched friends become enemies, become erased, and have personally done the erasing in my loops.
I probably understand this situation way too much.
And I know you've gone through a lot as well.

...I would be happy about that as well.
But I have no idea what this week may bring, especially since we're the only full team now.
I'm more worried about the rest of my team though.
If something happens to any of them... I'll do my best to keep my team going, but I won't sit idly by after that.
Though, if something happens to me, I.. I'm worried about what that will do to them.
Whatever does happen, I hope I can count on you too, Ylfa.
