it's okay she's actually on her way in here too! she pauses when she sees him, a little startled, but she eases after a second. he can probably see that she looks exhausted.]
... Yes, I am. [she says, amused. she makes her way over to a cabinet. in a very clearly teasing way:] Good boy.
[a pause. and she kind of just - stops moving, stops doing what she's doing, because she has to look away so he doesn't see the heat behind her eyes threatening to spill over.]
[ he gets up, and crosses the room. he stands in front of her, almost crowding her in. he knows what she's capable of, he knows his strength means nothing to a knife, he knows she literally just confessed to murder—
and yet, he still wraps his arms around her, pressing her head into his shoulder. ]
[she's a little tense when he comes up on her, but - she doesn't run, she doesn't do anything. she does let him hug her, even though she doesn't really think she deserves it so much.
she can't quite force herself to relax, but she figures he knows.]
... She tried to shoot Temenos. [she says, quietly, eyes closed.] I tried to run from her as long as possible, but I couldn't let her go back and hurt him.
she just. kind of slumps, absolutely exhausted. kind of like when all of your adrenaline finally cuts out, when your body decides nope, it's time to pass out, it's time to stop going. she doesn't actually pass out, but. her knees do give out just a bit.
thank god you're okay - it makes her feel like she doesn't have to let the rattlesnake noise happen, defensive and on edge.]
[ as soon as she falters, ichiban is ready to catch her and keep her steady. his hand is at the small of her back to lift and carry her over to one of the cots so she doesn't need to worry about holding herself up for the moment. ]

Woof woof.

she's going to grab some bandages... she unwraps the ones around her arm, and he'll probably see that the one injury she got from cyoa is there.
along with a new thin slice? huh.]
no subject
... Where'd that come from?
no subject
... Nowhere. [she says, cleaning it. it's fresh but not like. wildly fresh. maybe two days old.]

[it's not a no, stop asking, it's just. a warning. for his own sake.]
no subject
[ it's a little bit of dry humor on his part, but it doesn't take a genius to see past it to know he's concerned. ]

silence, but then without much warning:]
I killed Sora. She sliced open my arm with a glass shard.

I only have one question, Necchan.

Did you have any intention of killing her before you realized she was trying to attack Tem?
no subject
No. I just wanted her to stay away from me.
no subject
Thank god you're okay.
