[she rests a hand on top of his. be glad she's so used to harrowhark being a weirdo with corpses, akira, it's the only reason she's not freaking out over you just having a head.]
Fine. [she looks tired. sad, because she is, in a way that aches quietly, but not nuclear.] What's an empty room?
[a little shrug. but she'll sit down next to him, sure.]
Nah. Neither of us minded our roommates. [harrow puts up a fuss about thancred but gideon knows she likes him.] ... I'm not going to stay there much anymore, most likely. Maybe I will if you hang out.
Yeah, all right. [she leans a little closer, pressing their arms together.] You can stay in mine, too. Just don't step on the forty seven weapons Childe left behind.
Judging by how many times we've sparred, yeah, I'd guess so. [this is why they were friends.]
I'm hoping he got a good fight out of it. [she's going to regret this when it turns out someone she likes murdered him but like that's the usual thing isn't it]
What did he say…? Blue and Malibu keep asking if I’ve talked to him any time I say anything about stuff, so I assume it means whatever I try to do won’t work.
Here's the thing - Harrow tells me fuck all. [so she knows like, very little.] But as far as I can tell, we're entertainment for demons. They're watching us. I've heard from Cosmo that if we negotiate good enough it might be possible to go to other worlds, and not our own.
I wanted to do the same for Cosmo. [that's why the topic came up in the first place.] But not instead. Also. I'm not leaving you to rot here, Akira, so you'll need to shut the fuck up about it.

[He usually does the hugging alone in his room.
He reaches up and puts a hand on one of her shoulders, squeezing it gently.]
Sorry about your other roommate. You okay?
no subject
Fine. [she looks tired. sad, because she is, in a way that aches quietly, but not nuclear.] What's an empty room?
Are you?
no subject
Just tired. Want me to stay with you? […] Harrowhark isn’t staying with you?
no subject

[Unless he is standing in the doorway like the 3AM kitchen alien to see if Akira is crying.]
…Don’t worry. I have Miki in the closet with some flowers.
no subject
Yeah, all right. [she leans a little closer, pressing their arms together.] You can stay in mine, too. Just don't step on the forty seven weapons Childe left behind.

He kind of just barely manages to smirk and even that is brief. He leans back.]
He did seem to like fighting. Fought me a fee times. Maybe he left some retaliation last night?

We’ll figure it out. Okay? For Chandra, too. I know he acted like an asshole, but… I think he was a good person.
Does the is mean there are two killers, or just one…
no subject
... I'm always more worried about finding the people that did it than anything.
no subject
Me too. Now if there are two, if we find them… we’ll have to pick.
no subject
Which is even worse.
no subject
[It sounds more like he is trying to grasp at some kind of silver lining rather than make excuses.]
no subject
For how long, though? We're in hell.
no subject
[Insecurity week gripes him immediately even though she tries not to take it away.]
The demons said we can DM Satan, so… I think I will tomorrow or Sunday. To ask about winning and other things.
no subject
Harrow talked to him. Don't expect much. [...] Let me know what he says, though.
[she doesn't trust herself to talk to the guy.]
no subject
What did he say…? Blue and Malibu keep asking if I’ve talked to him any time I say anything about stuff, so I assume it means whatever I try to do won’t work.
no subject
Past that, I'm clueless.
no subject
I feel like I know as little as I ever did with Ryo, [he admits quietly.] I want to find out if I can give Blue and Malibu a second chance instead.
no subject
well, funny he says that.]
I wanted to do the same for Cosmo. [that's why the topic came up in the first place.] But not instead. Also. I'm not leaving you to rot here, Akira, so you'll need to shut the fuck up about it.
no subject
I... don't know if it's gonna work that way. The "also." I don't know if I can do it for both of them either, or... the rest, like Rose.
[...]
Ryo told me... you said you wanted me to go to another world.
no subject
[she musses up his hair.]
We talked about it. I told Ryo he doesn't have to stay here either. I saw what happens, but it might not in a different place.
