...

Because your entire brain is kind of scrambled right now?

[rippled]

Yes? I think...

[ they cover their face with their hands. ]

I don't believe I am owed any sympathy right now.

[kumeyuri]

[hm.]

Why not...?

[rippled]

Iori was there, and I hurt him.

[ they sound calm, but there's the tiniest hint of distressed evident by their annotation. ]

[kumeyuri]

[...

he knows there's no point in saying anything like "i'm sorry." it won't help.]

... Did you know it was him?

[rippled]

No. There were times where I felt like I knew him, but that was it. He knew me though.

So, it is a little difficult to accept kindness from others, when I wasn't kind to someone in turn. Regardless if that was real or not.

[kumeyuri]

[he lets out a breath.]

All right. I feel like you're punishing yourself right now, but I get how receiving kindness can make everything feel worse. I won't force it.

[maybe pushing at it would be better for saber, but uruha's never been good at that kind of thing.]

[rippled]

Thank you.

[ they sound sincere when they say it. ]

I apologize for dumping that on you. I know we don't know each other very well.

[kumeyuri]

[a light shake of his head]

You don't have to apologize. If you ever need to talk, I don't mind just listening.

[rippled]

You wouldn't...

[ a pause, as they stare off at nothing for a moment before shaking it off. ]

Yous seem like you would be an awkward listener.

[kumeyuri]

[saber's brooklyn accent]

... What's that supposed to mean...

[rippled]

[ noooo they're just walkin here......... ]

It's not a bad thing...?

[kumeyuri]

I feel like most wouldn't consider "awkward" a good thing...

[rippled]

I like it. It is a good personality trait.

[kumeyuri]

You've probably got different kinds of opinions on this than others, but if you say so.

[rippled]

[ it's funny... ]

You can take the compliment...

[kumeyuri]

I'm not seeing the compliment, but all right, all right.

[rippled]

[ they smile for a second, before freezing for a second.

... ]

... where am I?

[kumeyuri]

[oh no. he also freezes for a second in surprise, before—]

... In the neighbourhood. You're not in danger.

[rippled]

Am I injured...?

[kumeyuri]

... According to you, you are?

[rippled]

[ they frown. ]

Why.

[kumeyuri]

[uh oh.]

... You went through it just now, but I don't know the specifics. [a pause] Give it some time and you'll remember.

[rippled]

[ the vibe they're giving off is very much like they are wondering if they need to stab something right now. ]

Who are you...?

[kumeyuri]

[cautiously,]

... Do you know where you are right now?
