[ what's up, ochako. alex is down by the port, just sat and watching the ocean. ]

[ they did say they'd talk later, so sometime after trial, ochako goes looking for alex. the northern area is probably one of the last places she looks, but once she spots alex she heads over with a gentle smile. ]
Benedetto-san? How are you feeling?
[ trials are stressful, and all. ]

Hey, Ochako.
[ hmm. ] I... well, I'm glad we caught someone who was actually guilty but it's still not a great feeling, is it?

No, not really.
[ she'll just come over and sit beside alex, letting her legs dangle off the side of the pier. ]
I wish he'd told us more... I really don't see how murder can "help" anyone.

[ here they are... sad girls at the port. ]
He said something about nova splintering, didn't he? Do know know what that is...?

This was the first time I've heard of anything like that. Even Yona-san and Alphinaud didn't seem to know that much about it yet.
... It must be something important, if it was enough to make him kill.
The way they put it, it was a problem with Brick-san... Maybe, if someone's nova starts to splinter, they're a threat to the stability of the Realm?
Or that's what someone's told. And then... they have to be removed? Either legitimately for the Realm's safety, or something's persuading people that's what needs to happen.
[ hmmm. ]
[ hmmm. ]
That's what it sounds like. But I don't know where that information came from, or how to find out more, without asking the leaders. It's like they've been just as lost as the rest of us, though.
Mm, but not about things like this. Mostly we've just talked about normal things, besides the disturbances we experienced last week. I figured most people will be asking about that stuff, so... maybe they could use a break from it.
[ now she's starting to wonder if that was the wrong thing to do. ]

You can mix it up. I worry about asking them too much, but they didn't seem to mind it. We usually do something fun while we talk, like cook or have a snack.
Oh, that's a good idea! Though some of them have told me they're getting a lot of food from their teams...
[ hmmmm ]
They can summon things, right? I wonder if they’d be able to summon games so we could play with them.

Maybe we need to think of new things so they don't get overwhelmed with food. I wonder...
[ ... well. ]
There's no harm in asking. Maybe we should just do one of those coupon books, and they can cash them in for us to bring them a snack of their choosing, or do a task for them or something.

Oh, I like that idea! We could make one for each of the leaders!
What should we put in it? Obviously snacks or tasks, but maybe things like seeing movies or reading books, too?

We’d need to have the movies available for them to watch for that ti work...
[ maybe there will be a moving theatre one week? amazing ]
[ maybe there will be a moving theatre one week? amazing ]
True... I hope we can get a theater or something sometime. There are so many people here who don't know about movies, it's crazy.
It'd be nice if there was a way to show movies for everyone then. We could all watch it together.
[ ... oh. ]
Oh, I was going to explain the dogtags, wasn't I...?
[ ... oh. ]
Oh, I was going to explain the dogtags, wasn't I...?
Yeah! It would be fun. We could make popcorn and everything.
[ she didn't want to push alex that hard, but now that it's come up, ochako nods. ]
They belonged to someone you knew, right?

Mm, yeah. They're my roommate's.

I'm actually a little worried they're here? He probably needs them.

Why would he need them? Is he in the military?
Sort of?
He's supposed to carry them at all times. It's like an identifier.

Just him...?
[ curious. an ID is one thing, but somehow it doesn't feel like it's quite the same here. ]
He must mean a lot to you, though, if that's what they gave you here.

Him, and people like him.
[ she looking at the tags now. her... expression is complicated? that's the best word for it. ]
I guess. He saved my life, technically speaking.
