How could this happen? (afterparty)

[folkscallmewander]

[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.

... No, I get it.

[He pauses, thinking about words.]

You didn't want to make him feel like you'd lost faith, right? Or like it was hopeless.

[ Slowly, Naminé nods. ]

Yes... He wouldn't have wanted me to worry about him, maybe... And I didn't want him to think I had given up on him.

[nobodyperfect]

That's... pretty admirable, really. I'm not sure I could keep faith like that.

[chainbroke]

It was the least I could do for him. To... help him not worry about me, before he faded away.

I think he had done enough worrying about me in the past. I didn't want to add onto that.

[nobodyperfect]

Faded away?

Well, I bet if he knew you were here, he'd worry. Not the nicest place. I know I worry about everyone here.

[chainbroke]

[ heck ]

D... died.

[ NICE CATCH...? ]

... I worry about everyone, too. I... I don't want to find a friend who's...

[nobodyperfect]

I get it.

[He touches her hand, very lightly.]

I don't either, don't think anyone here does.

[ The sudden contact's a little jarring, but she doesn't jump or anything, at least. ]

I hope... you stay safe, Lea.
