How are you doing?

[ they look him over. ]

[noirges]

I'm.... upset, but still here.

[ he's probably already changed his bandages this morning at least ]

[rippled]

Are you close to either of them?

[ they see him talking to elysia a lot, at least. ]

[noirges]

[ . . . ]

Yes? I... I did get along well with Zhongli, and he reminded me of my Grandpa at times.

Ellie... She... [ a bit of hesitation before he settles on the answer that he thinks elysia is deserving of ] Yes. I loved her and she loved me. Not romantically but... I feel like I have to acknowledge it as truth, or else she'll be upset.

[rippled]

[ me in tears that it's not romantic but saber just nods their head at this, their expression softening. ]

I am sorry that someone you love was taken from you, Yves.

[noirges]

I... do love you all in my own way.

[ he loses someone he loves every week but ]

... but I know Ellie was even more adored. It's going to be a heavy loss to be without her.

[rippled]

Ah, it's fine. You do not have to preface caring about others to talk about her impact on you.

[ it's okay yves, you won't make someone feel bad. ]

... she did make an effort to reach out to people.

[noirges]

[ smiles gently ] I know, I just don't want my love for everyone to be doubted...

[ he really does love all you freaks ]

But... she did. That's why it... really feels like whoever attacked her couldn't have been in their right mind.

[rippled]

[ well, yves isn't the first person saber has heard share that same thought. ]

She is not the type to make enemies...

[noirges]

She'd only ever go as far as flustering someone...

[ he sighs ]

Though I don't think Zhongli is exactly an instigator either.

[rippled]

I think it's more of a case of... who do we think is most likely to be attacked when someone is not in the right state if mind, versus for something like an apple?

[noirges]

[ . . . ]

Is there any way to tell... if someone attacked for an apple?

[rippled]

I think the assumption has been based on so far only one person has been affected each week that we know of.

If it comes down to it, we may need to figure it out based on the actions of caught culprits, but that would require us catching them first and having enough time left to analyze their behavior.
