[turbulency]

[ okay, well. is mathis catatonic. ]

[cumulative]

[no but he's clearly been crying, red-eyed and curled in on himself.]

[turbulency]

[ OHHHH MATHIS

sits down next to him and draws him into a hug, thank you affection week ]

[cumulative]

Geto-

[just leans right into him, thank you, god he needs so many hugs this weekend.]

[turbulency]

[ He'll shift so that he can hold him to his chest.

He doesn't say anything at first, gently patting his back. ]

I'm sorry.

[cumulative]

I just wish that it hadn't been...

[why did it have to be her.

he lets himself be held, arms wrapping around him in turn.]

[turbulency]

I know.

[ Geto's own voice is soft, devoid of emotion, but he does seem sympathetic. ]

She was your friend.

[cumulative]

She was. I wanted to have more time, I... hadn't told her the truth about me, yet.

[turbulency]

That you're a homunculus?

[cumulative]

All that I told her... was that I don't have many memories of my own. Sh-she knows a little.

[turbulency]

She probably would've been happy to know more about you.

[ Nona was friendly, though he didn't know her that well. ]

Were you scared to tell her?

[cumulative]

Y-yes.

...she might have taken it well, but I was still... afraid.

[turbulency]

She would've, she's way nicer than me.

[ and he took it in stride so ]

But I get it. Fear isn't rational. I'm sorry you didn't get to tell her.

[cumulative]

You've always been... nice to me.

[just glancing up at him like ??? why are you implying you're not nice]

[turbulency]

It's hard to be mean to you.

[ it's like being mean to pickles....... JAN! ]

[cumulative]

F-famine is blunt with me all of the time... I can handle that-!

[you can be mean to him!]

[turbulency]

[ laughs ]

There's a difference between sugar coating and being nice. It's possible to be nice and honest at the same time.

[cumulative]

Are you...?

[this is helping.]

[turbulency]

[ good ]

Yeah. If you want honesty, I can tell you that the outfits I pick out are probably better than the one you came in.

[cumulative]

Wh-what's wrong with my clothes?

[please fix this geto]

[turbulency]

It kind of seems like it'd be better suited for someone... younger, I guess.

[cumulative]

Oh...

Then, how else should I dress-?

[get him a wardrobe before we LOSE THE ISLAND FOREVER]

[turbulency]

How about we go back to the clothing store and try some things out?

After a bit of rest.

[cumulative]

-right. I... think resting first might be...

[

actually you know what? this is post trial. it's probably about that time of night.

mathis passes out.]

[turbulency]

[ HELLO??

UHH NUDGES HIM? ]
