[ blinks. ]

Wait, it all just.... shifted?

[midway]

[ IT DID

oh but wait, looks at bas ]

How're you doing, by the way?

[berserketype]

[ waa. ]

... After yesterday, y'mean?

[midway]

After yesterday, the day before that, and the day before that.

It's been a lot, and you are Jiaoqiu are close, aren't you?

[berserketype]

We're roomin', yeah. He's a good bloke, got a good heart too. It's cruel of them to make him put someone he cares 'bout down like that.

[midway]

It really is. [ He frowns. ] I'm sure he'll have plenty of support, but it doesn't erase what happened.

[ ... ]

You can feel free to talk to me too, you know.

[berserketype]

It don’t. [ stuff like that sticks with you for a long time. ]


… [ well. he blinks. ]

You sure? I’m copin’ alright, but I’m not gonna say no to a chat. You didn’t strike me as the talk about your feelin’s type.

[midway]

[ Aw, his smile turns a little sad at that. ]

I don't? Well, you wouldn't be the first to say so, but I am always willing to listen to a friend.

[berserketype]

[ NOOOO NOT THE SAD FACE cancels the whole game ]

Sounds a lot like our Del, is all. He’s one for keepin’ things right here— [ taps his chest ]— even if he could do with chattin’ ‘bout it all.

Same to you. If you want to talk, get some of your secrets out there, I’ve got pretty sharp ears.

[midway]

[ Goes back to being charmed by how cute Bas is 🥺 ]

I appreciate it.

[ Starts walking! Admiring all the Valentine's cheer. ]

The two of you are brothers, right?

[berserketype]

[ fluffs claude. ]

Yeah, he’s my big brother.

[midway]

That must be nice. You two seem pretty close.

[ Gives him a warm smile. ]

[berserketype]

Yeah!

He's the best. Always looked out for me an' all that.

[ NUMBER ONE FIDELIO FAN ]

[midway]

He does seem like the protective sort. Do you need a lot of looking after?

[berserketype]

When I was a kid? Yeah. He was always lookin’ out for me — still does, but like. Least I can throw my weight around a bit more now.

You got any siblings?

[midway]

[ Siblings are... cute. ]

I have a few. We're not particularly close though. So I'm kinda jealous!

[berserketype]

You're not? Did you ... get into fights as kids or somethin'?

[midway]

I guess you could say that. Family dynamics can be pretty complicated when inheritance and money is on the table.

[berserketype]

... Money and stuff complicates everythin', it kinda feels like.

[midway]

It does.

But I won't complain without knowing what it's like on the other side.

[ He knows he's privileged... ]

[berserketype]

...


Sounds like rich boy talk, that does.

[ teasing mostly. ]

[midway]

[ Puts his hands up. ]

I won't deny being a rich boy! These hands have never known labour, I'm afraid.

[berserketype]

S'alright for some of us, I guess.
