It's... better than sitting around overthinking things.

[ hmm. she has her own arms folded across her chest, a little like she's cradling herself with her arms. ]

I'm holding up fine. I'm just... there's a lot happening. I'm not sure where to start or what to focus on first.

[dianxias]

That's very true.

[ xie lian hums. ] ...Perhaps I can help, a little? We could make a list and try to tackle it together; I'm feeling much of the same.

It might not be a bad idea.

[ hmmmm. ]

I think... the biggest things for me are “what’s nova splintering” and “who told Shima to kill Laine because of it”.

[dianxias]

I have the same questions.

[ xie lian huffs a little laugh. ] I have absolutely no idea for the first. For the second... I think the only answer that might make sense, unfortunately, would be a Leader.

...

[ she doesn’t like that option, but... ]

I thought that too.

[ she sighs ]

But if we want to understand why they’d ask that, we need to know what the splintering is first. I think these pieces both go together.
