If they didn't want to squeeze into the tower with you....

[ rip to gerard and ylfa for missing that last night with their teammate. that's what she was thinking. ]

[rewriter]

[... she sighs. rip to the neverafters.]

Too late to change things now. I'm sure they're already thinking of everything they could've done differently.

[diluvian]

It's only a matter if that regret will drag them down or propel them.

[rewriter]

... Knowing them, I get the feeling they'll be extra motivated tomorrow.

[a beat.]

By the way, have you talked to anyone who's been cursed today?

[diluvian]

Someone's been seeing visions of someone who's no longer here. That kind of cursed?

[rewriter]

Yes, but also not. I'm not talking about Rang, if that's who you mean.

[diluvian]

[ ... ]

Has Rang been saying he's seeing visions, too?

[rewriter]

He keeps seeing Rin. We thought at first it might be because they were bonded this week, but...

[hm.]

Do you mean Buzen, then?

[diluvian]

Yes.

[ she tilts her head. ]

It's strange that it's those two. I wonder if it's more than two.

[rewriter]

I've only heard about those two so far.

[frowns...]

Our team has its own psych. So it stands to reason that so do the other teams. I wonder if whatever's affecting those two has something to do with that.

[diluvian]

It's likely, but I don't see why they chose visions of Rin. If they did it because they knew it was going to be him, that's telling, isn't it?

[ damning, you could say. since visions are showing up today of all days. ]

[rewriter]

That would depend on the specifics of the psych that was used, though, wouldn't it? We can guess, but without knowing the original intent... I'm having a hard time figuring out why, too.

For all we know, it could even be something Rin did that manifested in a really, really weird way.

[diluvian]

For it to hit two different people?

[ she has to wonder about the mechanics behind that. ]

It's something we can't confirm with only one instance. It needs a repeat for any kind of support.

[ it's all just baseless theorizing at this point. ]

If we're lucky, tomorrow will help.

[ she doesn't think they're that lucky. ]

[rewriter]

If we're lucky.

[she also does not think they will be that lucky.]

... In the meantime, I don't plan to tell them about each other.

[diluvian]

[ she nods. ]

But I doubt they haven't talked to each other today.

[ gazes at trial ]
