[ Looking at her. ]

Relieved?

[fightolive]

[Frowning as she considers her emotions. Blegh, she prefers "keep active" to "talk about your feelings".]

Frustrated, mostly, but there's relief there too, and I'm... also frustrated about that.

[midway]

Frustrated because you couldn't figure it out yourself?

[fightolive]

I'm not good at solving things on my own.

[And when she finally told somebody,]

Frustrated that the only solution available was death.

[midway]

You didn't expect him to kill you?

[ ... ]

[fightolive]

I was hoping there was some other way.

That's just misplaced hope.

[Fluffy little animals are at least soothing.]

[midway]

[ . . . ]

I am sorry. That it happened to you, and that we didn't try any other option in all the weeks before. You deserved to live as much as everyone else. Everyone who was possessed did.

[fightolive]

...

Thank you for your sympathy. It's not like I told anyone except Yves. Even if they didn't believe my story, they didn't think I was possessed.

[Man.]

Did you get what you wanted?

[midway]

Well, I'm dead. So I wouldn't say so.

[fightolive]

[Hands him a bunny to pet.]

Sorry.

[midway]

Thanks.

[ Pets this bunny... The only thing keeping his mental health together. ]

I was also a little surprised that they jumped straight to killing me, for the record.

[fightolive]

[Save us, emotional support animals. Save us.]

They really didn't ask you anymore questions?

[midway]

No, Uruha did ask why I did it. But he essentially said that he didn't plan to let me live, regardless of my answer.

[fightolive]

...

I don't know much about justice, but... I don't know if that's "right".

[midway]

I don't know either. But, I don't really have the right to talk about justice after what I did to Zhongli.

But emotions don't have to abide by justice, so I can be angry and frustrated all I want, I think.

[fightolive]

That's fair.

[Petting the kitty that's walked itself over.]

It's probably better to let yourself feel than trying to ignore it forever.

[midway]

The same goes for you, you know.

[fightolive]

...

It's not like I want Yves to join us over here. What he did was necessary.

...

But I hate that it was.

[midway]

That's the right reaction, isn't it?

You shouldn't want harm to come to you.

[fightolive]

The survival instinct is strong that way.

This is way more death than I was expecting in death.

[midway]

I'm sure we all feel that way. [ He sighs, rubbing at the little bunny. ] Hopefully we'll find more answers sooner rather than later.

[fightolive]

Knowing what's going on is a big part of trying to solve the issue at hand.

Have you talked to the angels on this side?

[midway]

Just Kiraman so far, what about you?

[fightolive]

Him and Lailah so far.

Have you learned anything helpful?
