The general shitshow of this place, is what I meant. No one's alright with that. [ because. yeah. ] Kazuki wasn't exactly forthcoming when I temperature checked him, and we're walking a tightrope of him being anti-cop with a cop as his partner for the week.
But he said he was cursed, and earlier in the week he was sulky about Setsu and Jonas spending time together. That's all I've gotten out of him.
[ looking into the camera like he's on the office, internally. ]
I can try talking to him and see where his head's at. But when I was in your age range, yeah, I know things got blown out of proportion a lot and just needed time to get settled. Especially with boys.
Um, if you want to. I think we're just giving him some space right now, so pestering him about it might not help.
[ but wenzhou is a free agent, he can do what he wants. ]
But it's just, like. If he only liked Setsu because of being cursed, then that'll be gone. And the weird thing that's, like—the thing. [ red string ] With Setsu and Jonas. That'll go away too, probably?
[ he is trying so hard to not come off as condescending to the Youths as a whole. ]
I'd ask why, but I can take a few guesses. [ drift x4 for starters ] Listen... I don't know about the ones where you all are from, that you've known, but I'd be the last person to say that adults don't fuck things up a lot.
I'll offer help, but it's up to you how any of you want to take it, if you do. Pretty sure you can take care of yourselves at the end of the day.
[ there's no winning with teens. adults? trying? disgusting. ]
No, yeah, I'm uh... Not exactly bursting with faith in adults lately.
But I don't think anyone should be turning away help, here. Not because I think our team is weak and not because of our psychs or anything. Just because—everyone here is in this together. We all want the same thing and have the same things at stake.
So there's no reason to not look out for each other.
Which is completely fair. [ like. hoo boy. he gets it. ]
You're right, though. For as much as the people running this show want us to be competing in their fucked up game, we're in this together... and I think it'd be easier for us to find a way to get out if we actually, you know. Worked towards finding the loopholes or cracks in the system, if there are any.
But the help's not there because of your Psychs, or that you're kids. I've liked all of you pretty well, and getting to know you - I'm pretty confident that the four of you could kick a lot of ass with practice put behind the Psych you share.
... just, if you guys need healing again. Let me know. I'll get you covered.
[ genuinely, even if she's not so good at expressing it. ]
... I keep trying to think of more loopholes than the obvious ones, since those have all gotten shot down pretty quick. But I can't come up with anything.

week 1: sunday
Hey, you've been looking after Kazuki?
[ someone just died. it's fine. ]
no subject
Not that he makes it easy. But he's a good kid, just prickly. I've dealt with worse and he's put some barbs down.
[ don't ask what's going on with TBD, don't ask what's going on with TBD - ]
no subject
[ it's. fine. it's fine. don't worry about it. ]
Boys are just like that sometimes.
no subject
[ god he feels so old around all these kids... ]
... did something happen with all of you? Or some of you? [ just. vibe checks through the reasonable at the moment one. ] Besides the shitshow itself.
no subject
but ]
... Actually, can I ask you first? What "shit show" do you mean? Like, has Kazuki said anything...?
no subject
But he said he was cursed, and earlier in the week he was sulky about Setsu and Jonas spending time together. That's all I've gotten out of him.
no subject
Huh, okay. So now that the curse is over, things should settle down pretty quick. I mean, there's no reason they wouldn't—right? [ how would he know ]
no subject
I can try talking to him and see where his head's at. But when I was in your age range, yeah, I know things got blown out of proportion a lot and just needed time to get settled. Especially with boys.

So... Problem solved?
no subject
[ he'll see what he can get out of kazuki. but he shakes his head a little. ]
I'll keep looking after him after this - the thing, whatever it is. When it's over. You guys, too, if you need anything.
no subject
... For the record, Kazuki hates feeling like other teams are looking down on us.
[ casually throws him under the bus instead of saying how she feels. ]
no subject
