[ 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. ]
[ Setsu really is in the same boat, if they had advice they would be glad to give it but. they're more accustomed to friends and enemies being infected and lying to kill verses a teen boy lashing out angrily. so funny imo. ]
It should be that simple but, it is what it is.
[ takes a moment to think back on trial, remembering Kazuki's attitude towards simon too. ] Though, it feels like he's been sharp with more than just Jonas and I...
[ setsu pointing that out does at least give her pause. in a way it's almost reassuring? if he's just moody with everyone and not just at his team? it doesn't fix the problem, and she wants the problem fixed, but she also thinks...
... some people just aren't good in tense situations. the second she has to actually deal with it again she will be deeply impatient about this, but talking about it from afar, she's understanding. ]
Well... I guess, like, to be fair... This whole situation is really stressful. Just in general, he was probably already pretty strung out before anything happened.
[ it really makes Setsu wonder what kind of connection there is between them all, or if it's just something that was said to spark that moodiness. even so, Setsu wants to ensure they reel back any potential anger. they don't want to lose their cool at him again. once was enough. ]
Mm.. I know his own world dealt with a terrorist group called Adonis, and he had admitted pretty early on that where he's from... everyone has pretty much accepted the idea of dying at any time. [ which, in general, is pretty sad, but Setsu has gotten used to the concept of dying themselves that it makes sense to them. ] But this place is obviously very different in comparison. So it could be everything setting it off.
Yeah, he told me a little about it... I kind of can't even imagine how scary that would be. Like, all the scary stuff we went through was just one night. Imagining a looming threat like that being dragged out is...
[ they nod at that, it is a lot. so there's just a buzz of understanding. ]
I have been as well. But, I'm starting to think at this point I need to just be direct with him and force it out of him. I don't know how well that'll go. But, it's better than letting it fester. I don't want to detriment the team any further.
[ i am happy to say it does work out later, at least. ]
Maybe... If the conflict is with you, I guess that might be better than just drifting. Especially since it's not like we even can totally drift apart. We're teammates...

but she does appreciate that setsu is saying they'll try. it means a lot - especially with kazuki being... how he's being. ]
Exactly. That's how simple it should be. [ she's. so impatient that it isn't that simple though. ]

We're teammates. [ a more confident feeling, before they lean to gently nudge their sides together. ] We'll get over it together.
[ maybe but setsu doesn't know that. WRAPS THIS THREAD UP SO WE HAVE MORE ]
