That's kind.
I don't know if I'm hungry.
I really just don't know.

[camena]

That's pretty normal.

Everyone always says you should still eat even if you don't feel like it, but if it's only like a day or two it's not that big a deal.

[ this is. such a bad advice? ]

[factoring]

You should eat if you're supposed to think tomorrow.

[camena]

Then we'll both eat.

Let me know if you want to make use of my delivery service. It's free.

[factoring]

Okay.

You pick.

[camena]

Hmmm.

Have any allergies or anything? Any favorite foods? Besides coffee.

[factoring]

I don't have allergies.

I don't have a favorite. But it is coffee.

[camena]

👍 Oh also where are you? Warehouse?

[factoring]

Outer park.

[camena]

Haha

Ok.

[ well then probably like teeeen minutes later or so? alex will wander over, looking around for kyoko! she has two takeout boxes from hooters. don't make me think very hard about what she brought. it's just a nice meal. and a coffee. ]

[factoring]

[She's just sitting on a bench and looking over one of the lakes.]

[camena]

[ wow lakes... so pretty....... anyway alex will come sit down next to her. ]

Here. I got you coffee too.

[factoring]

Thank you.

[She takes the coffee and just holds it for a moment, letting the warmth seep into her fingers.

It's real. It has to be real this time...]

[camena]

[ yeah. she's been dealing with kazuki so: ]

... Doesn't feel real, huh?

[factoring]

[She shakes her head.]

I want to believe, but I can't trust.

[camena]

Hopefully that's gone by tomorrow...

[factoring]

The glitching from last week lasted until Sunday.

[camena]

Ugh... Rough.

But—at least you kind of know it's happening? I guess?

[factoring]

Everything feels like it's on the edge of real and fake. Sometimes I can trust myself and sometimes it feels like I can't. Like all of this is going to melt away and I'll be right back in the void.

[camena]

The... void?

[factoring]

The nothing where we arrived and where we left.

[camena]

[ a very brief laugh. haha! voids!!! always fun. ]

Well. It's not happening. You're not going anywhere.

[factoring]

Oh? What makes you sure?

[Thoughtful, and not hostile.]

[camena]

Your team just took a hit already. No one should be freaking—like... double-tapping.

[factoring]

You don't think it's deserved after what Libby did?
