Week 2 Post-Trial

[strictura]

[ The trial itself may have been pretty straightforward, but with how high emotional tensions were running afterward, there's probably no one feeling like organizing any kind of gathering right now.

So, go do your thing until a new week starts, and write down those memories you don't want to forget. ]

Yeah, you're probably right. Words aren't my strong point.

[He thinks about it for a moment]

... can't really do anything to the Alices, so you go for the next option. I get it. Like punching a wall or something.

[ballooncaged]

It's on sight when I can. I don't pity either of them, people better not get it twisted. [Not that she thinks Neku has.]

I feel like... Like I won't pull out their eyes myself, and then she's mad at me that I'm punching them without gloves. ...I know that sounds so stupid, [Violet and Cori being independent casualties, etc] which is exactly why it's so hard to apologize to her, argh!!

[scratchitti]

If you're not sorry then don't apologize.

[Said bluntly, which might seem counter to his apparent attempts at peace keeping]

She's going to have to accept that we're not all going to want to do things her way. That she might have to compromise. As long as you two can manage to not kill each other or get anyone else killed you don't have to be friends- if you try to force something it'll just be fake anyway.

... stuff like this brings out the worst in people, all I'm asking is you accept you're seeing the worst of her too.

[ballooncaged]

The worst...

[Mizuki shakes her head.]

I'm not... sure that thinking of it that way will actually help. But I'm not about to just go beat her up or anything. And if all that stuff she says means anything, she's not either.

[scratchitti]

There's that at least.

...sorry, I'm not very good at advice that isn't just 'screw everyone else, do what feels right to you' and that... doesn't always work.

[ballooncaged]

There are more important things than being good at advice. [Mizuki begins to trace a larger shape around her pumpkin with the tip of the knife.] Sometimes... if you don't know what to say, but you're there... the other person will still get it someday that you care.
