[ probably sitting on the floor next to him. his guitar(s) got thanos snapped so he doesn't even have anything to do this sucks. ]

After that letter, it kind of feels like we're going insane.

[westedge]

I mean I kind of felt that way when they all started showing up, but at this point I've accepted it I think. Probably not the takeaway though. [ thinking about the letter though. ] They seemed to be all in the same place again so...they'll be working on their side, at least.

[teenrebellion]

That's what Nightingale said, anyway.

They didn't even tell us what we're supposed to do, just... "instructions to come." I hate this.

[westedge]

Just more missions for us to fumble our ways through and try not to get ourselves killed. Again. I don't even know if we can die if we're already dead. Which, by the way, dying totally sucked. [ god. this is exhausting. ] I don't like waiting but regrouping tonight is our best option for now.

[teenrebellion]

No kidding. If I have to explode a third time, I really will punch Ruby.

[ he has absolutely no desire to do that but god it would be so tempting. ]

They just told me that we should rest for tonight, because who knows what we'll have to do once we get started. That... kind of scares me a little.

[westedge]

God please don't explode a third time, I'm so tired of this happening to you. [ it's never even been kazuki's fault. ]

...I keep thinking about that "defeat" graffiti at Hachiko. I do think we're gonna have to fight at some point, but I don't know what or how. [ so yeah. it's a little scary. ]

[teenrebellion]

It's only one more time than the rest of you...

Yeah. Me, too. Everyone who did have to fight against them had a lot of trouble, and... we don't exactly have a psych that's fight-oriented, either.

[westedge]

I can still hate it. [ mm... ] We can use drift to ram into stuff, at least. I've done it a few times, at least enough to get stuff off our backs. And we've practiced dodging and teleporting a lot, right? We can be okay.

[teenrebellion]

Dodging and teleporting really aren't as good for defeating things, though. That's the problem.

[westedge]

It is if we're working with somebody who has a psych that's meant for combat. I don't mind being bait if it's gonna get attention off of somebody who can defeat whatever the hell we're up against.

[teenrebellion]

Okay, but I kind of mind you being bait?

Besides, that means we'd have to split up. And... I don't know. I kind of don't want to, this far in.

[westedge]

[ he can respect that. ]

...whatever happens, you, me and Alex. No matter what. We'll work with other people when we need to but otherwise we're sticking together.

[teenrebellion]

...Yeah. We're supposed to see this through together, so we will.

[westedge]

[ a sharp nod. ]

No going anywhere without the other two knowing. Try not to go anywhere by ourselves. Do the best we can.

[teenrebellion]

If nothing else, we have our phones. But... who knows if they'll keep working or if it'll be like the special missions? So sticking together is probably safest.

[westedge]

Yeah. I don't mind that. We should check our phones and our psychs first thing tomorrow just to make sure nothing changed overnight.

[teenrebellion]

That's... a good plan. Yeah. Maybe we should check after the jumps, too? They said we'd be time traveling or something, so...

[ do psychs get wonky with time travel he doesn't know ]

[westedge]

That's also a good idea. I don't know how it all works since it's not like Alex and I had powers on the island, so...it's good to make sure everything's still in good shape in between.

[teenrebellion]

I've never done any of this stuff before...

[westedge]

The only good news is we're all a little out of our depth. But we'll all be together.

[teenrebellion]

Not super comforting, is it...

But at least we'll be together. I just wish Setsu could be there, too.

[westedge]

I do too, man. I already miss them all over again, but...they're working hard on their side. We'll see them again soon.

[teenrebellion]

So do I. And I know they're going to be busy on their side, too, but... it sucks. We barely even had them back.

[westedge]

...soon. [ that's about all he can repeat. ] We'll fix everything and be together again soon.

[teenrebellion]

[ a soft sigh. ]

Soon, yeah. Not much longer now.
