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?
There's slight conflict of interest despite having the same goal and being ultimately united, and I don't know how to approach it. Ali and Zhongli-sensei are on one side, Dva and Hurricane are on the other.
Everyone wants to protect those important to them, but their ideas of what that means are different. It may not be exactly bad to have these differences, so long as we can compromise, but I'm not sure if that's possible, either.
I guess I'll start by asking what these two sides are, since all of this is pretty vague. Having a common goal is definitely a good start, and, like you said, as long as everybody is open to compromising, then you shouldn't have too much of a problem.
I'm going to assume they want to primarily protect other people whereas Zhongli and Alisaie want to protect Heart? They've been here a long time, right, and it's probably pretty difficult for them to ignore all the connections they've made. That's not to say they shouldn't protect themselves, but they're probably better at giving than taking.
But... it also feels like a lack of self-worth, too, I guess? That is what has me worried the most. They want to give and give, but none of their connections want them to be the one to always take the bullet. That's hard on those important to them, too.
I want them to love themselves more because a lot of people care about them, including the rest of their team.
Hurricane and Dva are also very... passionate. Logic doesn't guide them like Zhongli-sensei and Ali. How do I deal with something like that? When we were in the ghost room, it felt so hard-worked into them.
On one hand, I found their courage and instant determination to protect at all costs admirable. ... On the other hand, it was a ghost, what did they think not hiding would do? They drew their weapons like it was something they could fight against, but...
We caused Tsukasa a lot of heartache, and Venti and Rye got killed, too. I just wonder if we could have all gotten out alive if we scattered and hid instead of just being out in the open.

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

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. ]
