hey. looks like you're all busy right now and joanne is down with a cold, so this probably doesn't have to be fancy. r&d doesn't report anything major for the next month so don't be dumbasses and make a problem of your own. don't fuck with the liaison, we're not replacing him.

looks like there's some weird fucking stone at city hall now. enjoy that, i guess.

pretty sure zee warned you about the stones, but if you broke it, that sucks and we don't know how to fucking fix it yet so good job, idiot. you might need to be a little proactive. r&d probably has something in mind, but good fucking luck getting a straight answer out of any of them but the kid. maybe they'll at least tell zee what they need, though. or if you're chill with the loss, whatever.

that's about it.

wait, right. joanne wanted to thank two of you for letting her help with holiday shit last month. thanks for not being assholes. the kid likes having stuff to do, i guess.

and that's really it. later.

Yes. We were provided with weapons like guns and grenades, but I doubt we could have gotten out of that alive if it weren't for the others with weapons.

[It's sort of frustrating to be completely useless in a battle like that, but after killing the chimeras in the entrance, he's not exactly fond of the idea of killing anything else.]

Ah, so you were forced to kill them?

I didn't kill either of them. I did help kill the chimeras that were guarding the doorway, but it wasn't something I wanted to do.

I wasn't really accusing you...

Plenty of people are ready to kill the monsters, after all. I'm just confirming that they died.

Oh. Yes, I believe they both did. Sorry, I just wasn't prepared for dealing with monsters like that. I guess I should have been, though.

Why? Killing things like that is...

It's not easy, I'm sure?

I've not done it for sure and I'm sort of disgusted by the idea.

Well, the entrance was guarded by monsters. I should have been prepared for more monsters going in.

But no, I agree with you. I never wanted to take a life. It was in self-defense, but that's doesn't make it any easier on my conscious.

[ and yet, she's a murderer. She's... Well, she planned on it? No, that must mean she failed, given what she told Dozzu but-

She did kill those fiends. Mmm. ]

No, I'm sure . . . I'm sorry you went through that! That's hard.

Thank you. It's probably the most difficult thing I've been through, excluding whatever was going on in my memories.

[That's still a whole lot of ????? and he's pretty sure he was at least partially responsible for some peoples' deaths there too but honestly it's just a clusterfuck right now, so who knows.]

I mean if it wasn't I'd end up being more sorry for you

Fair enough...

As is, I hope the past life thing isn't haunting you too bad...

But I sound like I'm pitying you a lot! Not my intention, I assure you!

No, it's okay, I didn't think you were! I really appreciate it, actually. There aren't many people I can talk about this sort of stuff with. Thank you for hearing me out.
