I would at least be a familiar face, but it's alright. I know that it is disconcerting, so perhaps it will be some relief that I really don't know you all that well.
[and since she doubts that's very persuasive, she'll add - ]
What happened to you is something that could potentially happen to any of us. It's cause for concern. [so don't worry she is not just here to try to get you to talk about your feelings.]
I do think I heard someone say something like this happened before...?
[ they're not sure how, considering what happened seemed weird to have repeated. but they didn't really stop to ask for more information at the time due to the bleeding. ]
Yes, some of you looked a bit burned. But the other group who was sent wound up becoming battle medics in a far off far, so I'm not sure I would take anything that happened to you too literally.

[ they frown. ]
Did they have to find the Nightsong?
no subject
uhhhhhh she doesn't like that so much. it's obvious the question unsettles her a lot, even if she immediately tries to disguise how much it did.]
What? That's what you were doing?
no subject
We were looking for it, for... some reason?
[ they frown, clearly confused. ]
no subject
[she doesn't know there will eventually be memshare so she can just get away with not telling anyone this was her cyoa forever.]
Did you find it?
no subject
[ they look down at their hands for a moment. ]
And then after that we came back here.
no subject
Well. It looks like more happened between, for you to be so injured. I wonder why they would have wanted you to do such a thing...
[i feel like she's saying this so unconvincingly but also brain scramblies so maybe it's not obvious.]
no subject
We didn't get any answers. I think. [ they frown. ] I feel like something exploded.

I apologize. I'm being told a lot of things and it's hard to figure out what exactly is going on.
no subject
[she just isn't so sure she wants to know everything that happened.]
I appreciate your talking to me about it, really, I do. I'm sorry that you were hurt.
no subject
[ they lift their hands up to mimic pigtails. koharu. ]

[frowning...]
Perhaps it's a relief if you don't recall what happened there.

I know what you mean. It's probably worse to know, but not knowing still lets you fill your mind with awful possibilities.
no subject
[ well. specifically koharu. they assume the other two can take care of themselves for the most part because they aren't a tiny teenaged girl. ]

[ it's awkward. ]
