[laserhawk]

That doesn't explain these responses.

[girlybruiser]

[ ]

I thought I was replying to Minato-kun... he broke the mug earlier.

[laserhawk]

Weird mistake to make is my point.

[girlybruiser]

My apologies. I've just been tired lately, but I wasn't able to sleep for so long.

[laserhawk]

[ a pause. ]

Because of what happened?

[ because . . . of him? ]

[girlybruiser]

We all spent so much time in the labyrinth and those rooms... maybe that's it?
But Minato-kun slept a whole week. I'm not sure how he managed that.

[laserhawk]

Maybe.

Try to sleep sometime then.

[girlybruiser]

I'll try. It feels different than when Akechi-kun kept me awake during jury duty.
Are you alright, however?

[laserhawk]

I'm fine.

1/2

[girlybruiser]

What was your apology for?
Sorry again. It's been a strange week coming back out of the labyrinth.

[ They weren't in the True Love room, were they... ]</small.

2/2

[girlybruiser]

Is it for what we saw in that room?
The one that was Eden.

[laserhawk]

Obviously.

[girlybruiser]

Why are you apologizing?

[ Well, she thinks she knows why, but she doesn't fully understand what happened in there either. ]

Or maybe I should be apologizing, too. I obviously upset you.

[laserhawk]

You know why. Don't dance around it.

And don't apologize either.

[girlybruiser]

It's hard not to. I upset you to the point of anger. Even if I don't fully understand, it's important for me to note it wasn't my intention.

[laserhawk]

Because you didn't know what you were asking for.

[girlybruiser]

I want to understand, but only if you let me, Dolph-san.

[ It's a little forward, but Haru is growing up even in this world, isn't she? She's not the same mild-mannered girl she used to be. ]

[laserhawk]

And when you understand, then what?

[girlybruiser]

That seems to be a strange question.

[ It takes her longer to reply, having to read each response carefully and think on an answer when all her brain wants to do is shut off and have her collapse face first into a bed. ]

We're friends, are we not? The more I understand, the more I can do to support you how I can.

[laserhawk]

And that's the problem.

There's nothing left to support me in. There's nothing left to fix.

It's been over for a long time already.

cw: death talk + p5r spoilers

[girlybruiser]

In Eden, right? And that's terrible. I can't really imagine how it feels.
At one point in my world while we battled a malevolent god, I truly thought I was dying. I sort of accepted my death then. But that's not how it turned out, so I guess I won't ever know until that day comes.
But we aren't in Eden. You can try to build a life in this land.

[ She spied Dolph and Eren in the cafe that night. It felt invasive, like she was seeing something she really shouldn't have been privy to.

But it was tender, soft.

They were in their own world for a moment and she wonders what it took for them to build that together. ]

It's not over here, right? Because you have people like Eren-san around you to keep supporting you, even if you are still searching for whatever it might be.

[laserhawk]

I'm not disregarding what I have here.

It's a life. It's mine. But that's all it is. You can't build a future here.

[girlybruiser]

What makes you say that? Because we go back home eventually?

[laserhawk]

That's right. People go back. They leave.

And eventually, the dream ends.

[girlybruiser]

[ Hm, she disagrees with that, but Dolph isn't someone who will change his mind that easily.

People can't flip a switch like that, not when every aspect of their life was used and abused. ]

It doesn't mean you can't enjoy and build what you can now.
That's what I feel anyway.
