I think his friend is healing him or something. [ curls back up. ] I told him to take care of it, so I imagine he did. [ he better have, since he's always on him about his own injuries. ]
I don't know how everybody got so fucked up, but you should be more careful.
I don't know we had all the evidence by turn three. [ Aether nods. ] I'll be more focused on finishing the games as soon as possible rather than getting distracted. [ he feels more guilty about trying to comfort and protect Kasa than about dying doing it when he could have done the exact think being less emotional in his decisions. ]
[ it's a good thing his tail is covering his face, because the soured face he makes says plenty about how annoyed he is that they didn't immediately turn it the fuck in. ] If you let your guard drop you're going to be killed... over and over and over. Be more careful.
…I told you. [ about hss collectively eating shit. ] But good. It’s going to take more than one person to keep this team swayed toward the I want to be safe and live mindset.
I know you did. That's why I'm sorry. But, I didn't realize we had to turn something in to avoid the game continuing. I need to ask, is it always like that? Our sanity went to zero, so looking back on the rules, the game seemed to log all of us as a skip the next round. Rye tried to submit after one of us died... but she didn't let him.
[ shrugs. ] Every game is different and every game has its own unique set of rules, and if you don’t follow them, then you’re likely to die. It can be frustrating to have to play along, but sometimes the consequences are worse for trying to break the mold. Just focus on surviving.
Sorry for abducting you, I needed some advice, so I'll return you to where you were so you can sleep now. [ moving to put on his slippers and pick him up. ]
[ bristles the moment he’s touched and swiftly moves away. ] Is that all you wanted me for, not even to spend some time with me. [ flicks his fluffed tail. ] Consider my feelings *hurt*.
If I had preferred to be alone I would have stayed at Wild City. I came over to make Xiansheng took care of his injuries and that you both would be alright.
...Aw, that's so nice of you, Caeli! I mean, Zhongli-sensei is your boyfriend so obviously that's expected and a given, but it's nice of you to be checking on me, too!
I'm totally fine, though. You don't need to worry about it.
It's different for the both of us. It's your first death, no, so it's not just an... I'm fine. I died a couple of times here and I also have things to compare it to back home. Not death, per say, but I definitely remember getting into some pretty nasty fights. I guess having your neck snapped is a pretty swift death, but you can tell yourself you're fine all you like, but I know you're not. Dying isn't something you can simply brush off. It's a pain in the ass, but, honestly, it's also reason to become stronger... especially here...
It hurt way way more getting my Achilles tendons slashed. Getting my neck snapped because she was so fast was like a really hard jerk the wrong way and then nothing. [ he shrugs. ]
They were painful for you but you're still fine because you have more experience with it, you're saying?
Nothing is ever going to be as bad as the first death I experienced, so, yea, I’m not doing nearly as bad as I look following something like that. But now you have a baseline… so you can accurately say you’re fine or not fine. But this time… eh, this isn’t exactly a fun topic to talk about hm?
Re: day 400, late evening
Yeah, I guess. [ feet and ankles exercises a-go. ]
Sorry for waking you. Are you doing okay? Is Zhongli-sensei okay, too? I imagine he was injured since he was in his Henshin form for a while.

It's not. What else do you want to talk about? Anything?

Re: day 400, late evening
I love them all very much, they're incredibly important to me.
[ ...but...
he just leaves it that, looking a bit thoughtful as he clearly has more to say. ]
