[ help

yves just smiles gently ]

I can step outside if you need a moment to compose yourself... but I'd like to come back and help finish bandaging your injuries, if that's okay.

[rippled]

No... let's just get this over with.

[ why would they admit to needing a moment... ]

Thank you.

[noirges]

[ saber your pride... yves will just nod and continue wrapping their bandages then ]

... you don't want to talk about it? Everything that happened to you.

[rippled]

... I don't know. A lot of it is still a blur.

[ their brain really is not doing great at the moment. ]

And it's not quite a good story.

[noirges]

... I don't expect any of these to be.

[ gently ]

But if it'd help sort things through, or if I can help ease the weight.. I'm here to listen.

[ they look at him curiously. ]

You had said that you had to go against a friend, and that was how you died. What would you do if you had to hurt that friend repeatedly, for no real reason?

[noirges]

[ ah

he visibly flinches ]

... I'd feel upset. Angry, probably.

[ he never feels it on behalf of himself but for other people? yea ]

[rippled]

[ a respectable reaction. ]

It was something like that.

[noirges]

... I'm sorry. To call it cruel is too light.

[ for such a horrific experience ]

It's why I am more concerned about Koharu than anything. She doesn't seem like someone who would have experienced anything like that before.
