How could this happen? (afterparty)

[Wander has reeled back from this execution faster than Mulan's. This murder wasn't an accident, but it was still terrible all around, and it wouldn't have happened under normal circumstances. Knowing that Tadashi planned this out made it...a bit better, but it still made something awful eat at his stomach.

Speaking of which, everyone needed to eat something light today. Right after the trial, he heads to the kitchen and prepares twenty bowls of fruit salad and mixes together ingredients for chocolate chip cookies. While they're cooling off, he slides a note under everyone's rooms.]

There's fruit in the lounge, cookies coming soon. We should stick together, especially after this.

Traps. Ok. What kinds of traps? Like tripwires?

[He's got some more elaborate stuff in his head, but there's a problem.]

What if my traps killed someone?! It'd be really obvious, and I'd...

[There's real fear in his eyes. He doesn't want to die, not like that.]

Calm down, Lea, I'm not talking of anything deadly like that, sheesh. Tripwires, something that makes noise, anything that can scare them off or wake you up. Stuff like that!

[He really isn't sure how to deal with someone who is scared]

Yeah, but a paring knife killed someone a week ago! With my luck, they'd trip on a wire and break their necks!

Okay, that's borderline paranoia. Calm down, man, you're going to fall into despair at this rate!

[If there was ever a need for Demyx to absolutely never think of Lea as some form of Axel, well, a moment like this would settle it without any doubt]

Just--stop thinking about that. You'll be fine. Here, sit down and eat that orange of yours. Calm down.

[Demyx leans on the wall, not minding to wait -- if Lea does follow his request, that is. He doesn't have much faith Lea will, hah]

Borderline paranoia? And that's coming from the guy who said to make traps?

[He's snapping back from his moment of unreliability. Demyx is right. He's gotta stop worrying.

He takes a bite of orange, and it helps keep him grounded.]

... Sorry. I've been known to overreact.

[He's never been the stablest guy.]

No kidding, that was a big overreaction. But I can't blame you. Everyone's stressed. I'm feeling the same, I just...am very good at staying calm. Kinda.

[Mostly a lie, but yeah]
