[ alex's wave of embarrassment has setsu's cheeks tint a lil pink, feeling it as their own. huh. this is strange. ]
You don't know? [ it's not that Setsu doubts her. which is probably why Setsu reacted the way they did when Alex did it. were it someone else, uh. hm. well. wouldn't have gone well. but it doesn't seem like something Alex would do so-- ] ...Were you cursed?
[ and now she is just standing here contemplating why... she had wanted to kabedon people so bad... she doesn't even know the word kabedon... what is this.
although, ]
Some of the effects are pretty funny, though. [ hehe :3c ]
[ this is a first for them so there's just a feeling of minor confusion on the whole matter. but, when they come into the diner, it at least smells pleasant in here. tasty treats! ] Mmm.. This was about the curse I mentioned, right? During trial.
[ setsu is thinking fried milk that make you moo is normal in alex's world now i guess. ]
It... well, it started on Tuesday. It ended around... Thursday, after I got back from the excursion. [ oofa doofa ] Basically, it made Kazuki and I feel as if we.. had feelings for each other? In the moment, I hadn't questioned it at all. So I didn't even know I was cursed.
[ there's a tinge of guilt because of course they feel bad that someone else was dragged into this curse mess. ] it wasn't until it was over that I realized those feelings weren't real.
I don't know. He was hurt when I didn't recognize him at our return...
[ sometimes you have the mind of a child and you don't recognize anyone except those from the trip. ]
He did check on me after, to apologize, but when I talked about trying to check on the others first to get some info before resting- he blew up again. [ "Who do you even think you're going to help?" this time, there's a brief spike of anger, but it quickly cools down as Setsu sighs. ] ..I know I tend to overwork myself, and I'm trying to do less of that. To let you, Jonas and the others help more.
The problem is he doesn't talk, he just.. argues. Fights with his anger. It's difficult trying to get a proper conversation out of him.
I have no idea how to handle him when he's getting mad at stuff. Because it's not like he just says what he's mad about.
[ which would make it so much easier! she even feels a little impatient just thinking about it. ]
But... Yeah, I know you're used to working kind of alone. It makes sense to be in the habit if you're stuck in a loop... [ a pause, concerned. ] So I really hope you count on us more.
[ exhaustion just bleeds from Setsu, the earlier brief anger so dull in comparison. they're used to dealing with all types of people but kazuki... it's such a drastic change from the first week. ]
...I will. [ it doesn't sound necessarily like a lie, but more of a promise. ] We're a team after all. I shouldn't have tried to do it all by myself. So, I'll be sure to rely on you all a lot more.
[ it is a hard habit to break. it's hard not wanting to do everything they can to protect others, but they understand they won't get far by themselves. however, they know words aren't really something you can rely on, they have to prove it through their actions. ]

Ugh, nothing. Just—you know how the food here can make people weird sometimes? Like the hot dogs last week.
no subject
Is that what it is? [ wait ] Did you have the special milkshake?
no subject

But yeah, keep avoiding it. It makes you weird.
no subject
I would avoid the fried milk too.

But... If you both just got over it as soon as the curse was over, then—why is it even a big deal? I mean, sure, it's a little awkward, but...
