I... I do tell him what's wrong though.

[ just not the whole picture of everything that's wrong. ]

[chanteuser]

As much as you'd want him to tell you?

[sacredchants]

[ ..... ]

No.

[chanteuser]

[ hm. ]

It's not easy, but... it is important. Even if you just work at it, bit by bit.

[sacredchants]

If...I said what I really wanted to say—it'd make him sad. I know it.

[chanteuser]

He might be sad you didn't trust him to tell him in the first place. I don't know, I can't make that call for you.

[sacredchants]

[ hmm.

seeing that alex has some (unfortunate) context for this. ]

It's...about the lab...and how I haven't left it.

[ rather, he doesn't know shit about her situation in that regards. ha ha?? ]

[chanteuser]

...

You don't think he'd want to help you? Context aside, if you just vanished and he couldn't do anything for you, I think that'd be worse.

[sacredchants]

The problem is that he would.

And I'll...consider mentioning it. With how bleak everything looks sometimes, the last thing he needs to think about is how even more limited time we have together.

[chanteuser]

... There's got to be a way to help you, Izumo. There's a lot of us here who'd want to.

[ and because i forget my own memloss (or rather took A Bit for her to get a new name—) ]

Amalie. [ a soft correction. ] I... And I know there are but—

[ she'll just shake her head. ]

We can worry about that later.

[chanteuser]

[ ahh.

she takes her hand and gives it a squeeze. ]

Amalie.

Don't try and run off before we can though. I know I'll be mad if you did, let alone how some of the other people here would react.

[sacredchants]

I won't.

[ she...definitely will not. ]

[chanteuser]

Good.

[ another! hand squeeze! ]
