[terrible because between thursday cyoa and certain topics that came up in trial, a very specific issue has been stabbing at him, and because of that this would hilariously be the only weekend he might talk about it but everyone else's vibes are so bad that he's just. nvm my problems are such a low priority right now and killing off all my emotions is better.]
Tired, but I'll manage. I'm worried about a lot of people, though.
[ she's turning sideways on her seat to face him better. her emotions are reflecting back to curious suddenly. ]
It's hard not to be worried. Especially with how things were at the end. But... I don't think worry is a finite resource. If you're tired, you don't have to manage by yourself.
... I'm worried that every single week, people are going to grow more worn down. Everyone will say they're managing and put their efforts into taking care of each other, but I do worry some of you won't let other people take care of you in return. Nothing is getting easier. [ plus. ] And don't think I didn't hear you were a part of the group that disappeared this week.
...I'm glad. [ it's sweet that marcoh clearly cares about him, but she won't mention that just yet. instead, she's taking the question seriously. ]
I'm not exactly used to so much murder, no. [ like. you know. so that's bad. ] But we have to accept our own bit of responsibility, too. We're still meant to be your guides through all of this.
[feels a little shitty about it right now after anders guilttripped him over getting healed, even if anders immediately felt bad for the comment and assured him it wasn't uruha who was the problem—but anders wasn't wrong in what he said, and uruha was the one who insensitively brought it up, so it's not as though anders is the problem either. anyway it's fine.]
... That's all you can do, sometimes. Fulfill your responsibilities even if it's difficult.

And what about you? This can't be easy for you, either.

Yeah? [fond vibes leaking through the blankness for a second. but also worry because marcoh is going through it.] Not every moment of the day, though.

Do you compartmentalize yourself around him, too?
