[ probably in his room. he lifts his hand in a wave. ]

I healed.

[agleam]

Right, but... I didn't just mean physically.

[preowned]

[ he sighs ]

No one ever does.

[agleam]

It's not a bad thing for people to want to check up on you, you know.

[preowned]

I think... I will need many naps.

[agleam]

[...]

Can I ask what happened?

[preowned]

Mm... yeah.

We had to save everyone, so we kept going through labyrinths to defeat bosses. In most cases, the bosses kept overpowering us until we could beat them.

[agleam]

So you got hurt a lot.

[bad! after a moment:]

...Did you recognize any of the bosses?

[preowned]

... most of them?

The ones I did not, I believe the others probably did.

[agleam]

...I figured.

[...]

I'm really sorry, Tsurumaru.

[preowned]

... some parts weren't that bad...

[ he trails off for a long moment

and then just nods. ]

[agleam]

Like what?

[preowned]

[ holds up miku ]

[agleam]

...Does it do anything?

[preowned]

... I do not think so.

[agleam]

Oh...

[awkward silence]

Well, it's, um. Nice?

[preowned]

Yes... I think I'm fond of it now.

[ he sets it aside, on display. ]

[agleam]

How did you get it?

[this is a normal conversation]

[preowned]

Oh! A shopkeeper gave it to us for free, for saving everyone from the first labyrinth.

[agleam]

The first labyrinth?

[preowned]

... we went through more than one...

They were both terrible.

[agleam]

What were they each like?

[preowned]

Well, both involved us getting lost a lot, for one.

... but there were bosses at the end of each we had to defeat. We fought the bosses in the first one together as a group, but we were separated for most of it in the second.

[agleam]

...So you had to fight on your own, against people you recognized.

[frowning!!]

I'm really sorry you had to go through that.

[preowned]

... well, for me, at least, it served as a good reminder for how things work at home.

But at least we all made it back as safely as possible.
