Of course. I will bring it to you. Location?

[tearduct]

i'll meet u in the dorm common area thing

[outsidebones]

I will be there.

[she wasn't anywhere near the dorms really but she'll go there and awkwardly go get the med kit hoping not to run into anyone and then meet him in the dorm room area.]

[tearduct]

[HELP he forced her to walk just because he went there

He is waiting. As expected, he sure doesn't look great at all, but who does in this economy. There's still no tears even if it seems like he really wants to cry.]

[outsidebones]

[mood. no she probably did cry but is no longer doing so. she hands him the med kit and then will just rudely point it out.]

Did you lose the ability to, or are you holding back for some perverse reason?

[tearduct]

[He takes the kit and simply frowns.]

They just won't come.

[Literal worst trial for deciding to be funny by losing the crying.]

[outsidebones]

[god she wishes that was her.]

Isn't that a good thing? You do not have to fear making a fool of yourself.

[surely akira knows that it's terrible to cry and everyone judges you a lot when you do, right?]

[tearduct]

I've already done that enough this week, so it doesn't matter.

[So many people think it's terrible to cry and judge him for it, yea.]

There isn't anything wrong with crying. If I could, I would.

[outsidebones]

[she's actually math lady meme at that statement, of course there is something wrong with it, but that isn't the mood of the evening so she doesn't push it.]

...You aren't to blame. For earlier this week.

[tearduct]

[Nothing is wrong with having emotions or empathy, dammit!! Everyone here is weird.]

I am a little. Even if it was against my will.

[outsidebones]

[you should definitely be trying harder to suppress and crush your own vulnerable emotional core, that's all she's saying.]

Hmm. Why do you say so? I must decide how much credence to give to it.

[tearduct]

[He sort of stands there and frowns for a long, debating moment.]

Because I let a demon possess my body. Losing who I am meant he was able to have more control. That I started acting on instincts.

[outsidebones]

Did you have the ability to prevent any of those things from happening? Honestly. Not whether you wish you could have, whether you actually could have.

[tearduct]

No… but my choices lead me here. I can’t blame anyone else except me.

And Satan, I guess.

[outsidebones]

Alright.

[she's not going to argue with him, she just gives a satisfied nod.]

You bear a small amount of culpability for the choices that led you here, even if most of it was outside your control. Acceptable. For any transgressions against me that were a result of those choices, you are forgiven.

For transgressions against others, I cannot speak for them but suspect a similar result. You tend to earn a great deal of good will, when not acting on instincts.

[tearduct]

[He looks… both touched and bemused, and then, slowly, a little tickled about something before it fades.]

You’re a pretty merciful person to someone who acted like a demon.

…Thanks. For what it’s worth, you’d make someone a good “mate” if that’s ever something you wanted.

[outsidebones]

[and we were doing so well.

honestly harrow is not as repulsed by this as she should be im sorry to say that she takes this as a compliment and gets a little embarrassed. horrible. sometimes you're just very starved for someone saying something nice about you and your standards are in the ground.]

Please never bring this up again.

[tearduct]

[Harrow...... (that one sora disco emote here)

He kind of just huffs a quiet, half-hearted laugh.]

Okay. [It's honest. He shifts the kit.] You should probably go see Gideon. [Not for Harrow's sake.] I've got to go make sure Ryo didn't fall into a hole somewhere.
