Hey. I remembered they didn't really give anyone who got stuck in here an actual bed, so... I hoped I could at least make it a little bit more comfortable. If you want some blankets and some food, too, let me know and I can go grab it for you.
Yeah, but it was still moving me. It was still my hand that...
[ ...well, anyway. ]
I guess it doesn't really matter, does it? The shadow's gone now, so unless there's a way to do something about that, it's just going to happen to someone else soon.
Honestly? I don't know. Up to now, there's only been one shadow, so you'd think the pattern would hold, but maybe something changed.
I'm not really sure which is the worse option, anyway... The shadows at least don't run the same risks as refraction in the prism. It won't keep going, but... it's hard for me to imagine actually wanting to kill someone of your own free will, even if it's for someone else's sake.
...I don't think so, no. And - I kind of worry that I'm playing into exactly what this place wants if I start suspecting other people without being sure? But... That doesn't mean I don't wish I knew for sure what happened.
...Well, at least there's that. You can try talking to them, at least? Tensions are always high in trials, but maybe outside of it, it won't be so bad.

Ehh... I wasn't even thinking about that. Thank you, Rupes.
Haha, it's too bad we can't have a whole sleepover in here. I don't know if that would even be allowed.

I don't know if this is what you want to hear, but... I'm so, so sorry.
no subject
...I am, too. For everything. This isn't how I wanted to help anyone at all, least of all Kumopi.

This is not your fault. It was the shadow, right?

That's true, but... Well, the second part is, at least. But I think it still matters.
no subject
...I wish I could actually help with things more, though.

[since they didn't, and he's the one who's going to have to pay for it.]
no subject
[ there's nothing telling them otherwise, after all. ]
No, I get it. I wanted to know, too - and not just to save my own skin. I... don't care about that. Not like the shadow did.
no subject
[he's honestly curious.]

[he takes a breath.]
If it's who I think it was, I think at least one of them was acting of their own free will. Probably both of them. But - I'm not sure.
no subject
[ to be fair, though, he kind of stopped paying attention after the fingerprints came back. ]
...You don't think they'll act again, do you? They shouldn't have to, if their hostage is already safe.

Yeah. The most we can do is try. [...] But for now, is there anything else I can do for you?

...None of this is your fault. We should all be the ones apologizing to you.
