[ well, she made waffles this morning and there's still some left over. catch alex in the kitchen in the afternoon with a storage container of waffles and frowning at them slightly while she thinks about what to do with them. ]
They'd be alright to reheat again... maybe I could do something savoury with them?
[Waffles... the superior breakfast food... Yoshizawa will enter the kitchen herself while Alex is deciding what to do, and immediately shuffle over to greet her.]
[Now that she's here, she is definitely taking note of the waffles, eyes widening a little. Just how many waffles are we talking about here? Alex, what did you do? As distracted as she is by these waffles, she looks at Alex again once she asks how she's doing.]
I'm okay. Thank you so much for asking. [Polite as always...] What about you?
Right, they did. Maybe we'll get to figure out what nova is now. [ or maybe they'll chase lajeggings, get attacked by a bird and smacked in the mouth by a bird's nest but who's complainin' ]
[Sometimes... mistakes happen. It's fine! It's fine. She nods, anyway.]
Wolf-san said whatever shape it takes will be influenced by us, as a group. Perhaps one of us will recognize it, and it will be easy for us to deal with.
[ another week, another location. alex is heading down to the port itself, which is slowly becoming her go to place honestly. she probably sees a head of red hair go running past in the distance, and doesn't think too much about it.
it's only when she sees her again that she lifts at arm to wave it at kasumi. hello? ]
[ confirm. please enjoy a lowkey buzzing of anxiety, fear and dread that alex seems to be holding at bay through practice and willpower alone. it spikes sometimes, but for the most part it's... copable. less when she's talking with someone like she is now. ]
I keep wanting to think it might not keep happening but... that feels a bit silly, now.
[ they’re probably in the first aid station now. i’m going to be nice to sleepy me and say that sumire is well patched up with what they had at the time but she’s looking for...
well. blankets? pillows? fresh gauze? anything she can do to get sumire as patched and safe before they pass out. ]
Please tell me if you feel you’re getting worse, Yoshizawa.
[It's fine! She's nice and cozy and ready to be slaughtered.]
I'll be okay... [Slowly. She will not, in fact, be okay. But they don't know that right now.] Thank you for, um, helping me... Please, don't worry about me.
[ this is the best started because i'm cold and need to snuggle under my duvet, but here alex is, sat in the queen's room like she's just grabbing a moment of quiet after Everything that has happened. ]

I might want to check the bruising again, just to make sure it’s not spreading, before we all pass out.
no subject
... I'm sorry about that. I ought to have been more cautious.
[Sometimes... you yeet and lose an eye. Oops.]
Do you need me to sit up?

I don't think you can predict anything that'll happen in those places. Don't apologise!

No, stay where you are. You lost a lot of blood-- you might be dizzy.
