[ Wow.

She's quiet for a moment as she processes that. To think it through, to try and understand what was going on in everyone's minds.

No real thoughts come through, just a lot of Processing. ]

I can tell you about the source, if no one's said anything yet. I--

[ Why would they-- ]

I'm sorry, I can completely understand why you'd be upset. As far as I know, only Denji himself didn't need to know about being protected, so why they wouldn't think to share that or to at least say they had a plan, I... can't even imagine why that would happen.

[ambiography]

I assume they thought it wasn't safe, or-- I very much hope that was the case, because I'd like to think they didn't keep it from us just to take it all upon themselves and leave us in the dark. Ichiro was the only one present for the decision who wasn't involved on Thursday, it was already difficult enough for him.

[she takes in a breath, exhales it steadily. god.]

...I really was afraid he would break. He was-- determined to take part this week, if we had continued, because then at least the blood on his hands would be literal.

[momming]

... I hope he'll be able to... talk with them about this. And Denji.

[ She closes her eyes, looking pained. ]

I'm sorry. I know I couldn't have done anything from where I was, but...

[ambiography]

I don't know how well that's going to go-- to be honest with you, I think it's a bit more on them to talk to him. He's the one they owe answers to about all of this.

[momming]

No, I would agree. I just want the conversation to happen at all, and I'm sure Dimitri will want to take responsibility.

[ambiography]

Well, I certainly hope that he does.

[momming]

I will personally endure that he does, though he won't like it if I have to remind him.

[ambiography]

I'll wish him luck if you do need to.

[momming]

Yes, he'll likely need it.

[ RIP Dimitri. ]

Again, I'm sorry. I'd also apologize to Ichiro-kun if I thought he'd accept it from me.

[ambiography]

...you don't have anything to apologize for, Otome. I don't think Ichiro will blame you, either.

[momming]

Still, I'll make sure this is addressed.

... Now, about Sieghart...

[ambiography]

-what about Sieghart?

[OTOME,,]

[momming]

As your self-proclaimed beloved friend who suggested a certain individual call you by your name, I am very interested in what transpired today.

[ambiography]

Ah-- you were watching, weren't you. I suppose that was-- a little more forward than I really intended to be.

[momming]

Oh no, I'm all for it! It was a beautiful display of intent.

[ HONESTLY PROUD OF HER. ]

[ambiography]

We're still going to have a few things to talk about, Otome, we've only seen each other once in the last several weeks.

[but he did, technically, do it first.]

[momming]

... [ wryly ]

Does this have to do with the licking?

[ambiography]

-oh, god, did he really say so?

[but she sounds amused, not horrified.]

I never thought he'd breathe a word of that.

[momming]

He, ah. Wasn't in his right mind at the time. Under the influence, you could say.

[ SHE'S VERY TIRED. ]

[ambiography]

Otome, what happened?

[spill, what was going on over there.]

[momming]

Leo baked brownies. By the time I realized they weren't as innocent as they seemed, it was too late for... quite a few people, so all I could really do was help them through the aftermath.

[ambiography]

-oh, is that where she got them from--

[THEIR STONED ASS NPC. my god.]

...just how badly off was he?

[momming]

... This didn't come from me, and therefore you know nothing.

But he more or less laughed himself into exhaustion. The puppy licking your face during one of the meetings seemed to really set him off.

[ambiography]

[...ohhhh, no. she tries her best to stifle a laugh, but it slips right out anyway, a hand over her mouth.]

I wish I could have seen that.

[momming]

I wish you could have, too. I could have used the help.

[ SO MANY HIGH DEAD PEOPLE, LUCRETIA. ]
