[ why hewwo. Koharu waves back!! ]

Yes, it's been going well! I thought I'd get some fresh air, though I didn't expect to see anyone out here.

[holyspirits]

No? [ they sound amused by this. ] I prefer being out here over some of the other places around the neighborhood.

[cupidsammo]

It's peaceful out here, isn't it? And an ideal spot for knitting.

[holyspirits]

Exactly. [ but they move some yarn and pat the ground. sit! ] Join me, tell me how the last few days have gone for you.

[cupidsammo]

[ okay!!! Koharu settles down on a spot nearby. ]

Hm... I don't think it's been so bad. Everyone has been very kind so far, and the beachside is a scenic place to visit.

[holyspirits]

Yeah. I've been back a few times, but as more stops get added along the train route you might find other places you like, too. That's something to look forward to, right? [ they are still working on making... something. difficult to say what it is. ]

We did try to tell people this place isn't terrible.

[cupidsammo]

—Oh, the place itself is fine! Really, I haven't had any complaints. I think it's just the circumstances, but I haven't seen anyone upset about it since you three arrived!

[holyspirits]

That's good. I know we showed up a little late, but we're trying to make sure you're all as settled as you can be before you start really digging into your journey. It's easier to reflect when the place around you is calm, especially if your mind isn't.

[cupidsammo]

[ a nod! ]

I... I should probably check in with those I've been talking to and see if they're okay, too.

[holyspirits]

It couldn't hurt. It's what a "good" person would do. [ to stick with the theme... but also. ] I'm sure you've talked to a lot of them by now, haven't you? How are you all getting along?

[ koharu said she thinks everyone is kind, but that doesn't always mean anything. ]

[cupidsammo]

Yes, I'd say most by now. [ More or less. ] I think I've been getting along with them, but some of them... might have their disagreements with each other.

[ thinking about the fight on tuesday lol lmao ]

Um. One of those might've been my fault, though... But other than that!

[holyspirits]

[ they nod along because that's nice and normal and makes sense to them. but. ]

What do you mean one of those might've been your fault... ? You can't be blamed for other people's stupid arguments. [ they are assuming it was something petty. ]

[cupidsammo]

Well, um. When Marcoh and I went out looking around the other day, we found some things... One of them could make someone hate something? And we thought, we can make them hate breaking things so they might finally stop!

... But then it turned to that...

[holyspirits]

[ they are simply staring... ]

I wasn't sure if that was normal behavior for them or not. But if that's true... [ wild. ] Where did you find these things?

[cupidsammo]

[ internally going aaaaa ]

In was in the arcade.

[holyspirits]

Do they know it may have been you guys?

[cupidsammo]

...... No...

S- should I say something...?!

[holyspirits]

[ they open their mouth, and then they pause. not that koharu can see it, but the vibe is there. ]

I think that's up to you. Do you feel all that bad for doing it?

[cupidsammo]

Well. Um. If it weren't for the fight that broke out, it would have been okay. But it did and I talked to– [ wait what the fuck is his name anyway ] –errr that... one guy... and he seemed really miserable afterwards, so actually I do feel super bad.....

[holyspirits]

That... one guy. [ it takes a few moments, but it does click. ] The one prone to throwing tantrums. I always thought him acting out was a cover for misery, but pointing it out to those kinds of people never works well.

[ anyway. ]

... I don't know if telling him you were responsible would actually make him any happier. But there are other ways to apologize without using words.

[cupidsammo]

Maybe so... I'll have to think of something that might work.

[holyspirits]

How do you usually apologize to someone you've wronged? Is it always verbally?

[ koharu, are you one of those sincere types... ]

[cupidsammo]

Well...





Yes?

[holyspirits]

[ oh boy. ]

Koharu... maybe that should be another thing we work on while you're here. It might help.

[cupidsammo]

[ ?! ]

Isn't that the best way to say you're sorry?
