[QI RONG (DEROGATORY)!!!! Souji looks up toward the portraits on his way down the hall and stops for a moment to consider.]
...To be honest, drawing attention to the fact that we care about them might only make him more inclined to go after them, when normally he wouldn't care or notice. He seems like that kind of person.
[SUCH HARD WORKERS. Souji will probably immediately set about trying to make some food after they've moved everything back and he's checked it to make sure no garage chemical things have leaked through...]
Mmm... It's best not to underestimate him, right? But if he's in the basement, it should be fine.
[So how about that trial, huh... Souji is very sad to see four people potentially joining them even if i aki am cackling waiting for nu HAHAHAHAHA.
ANYWAY!! He's out in the hallway, doing some more cleaning because he truly is that meme of like "if I keep my mind occupied and my body in motion at all times I'll avoid falling into a bottomless pit of despair". As he sees Rupert, though, he'll pause and raise a hand in greeting.]
[They all wish a lot of things... Yeah. There's a chance, perhaps, that whatever has been saving people from executions or deaths could step in an intervene, but Souji isn't particularly hopeful and doesn't want to say as much aloud in case he curses any slim luck they have.]
...I, for one, also wish that we hadn't lost all of our perishable foods to Qi Rong. It'll take some creativity to make a decent welcoming meal this time.
[wow who keeps leaving all these books scattered around the place, wacky and wild. ANYWAY. Souji's going to look for Rupert after that meeting in the hopes of asking some questions but INSTEAD!!!!
They just get sucked into the streets of ye olde London. Souji is dressed like a pauper. Help.]
...Not again...
[HIS THOUGHTS ALSO JUST SAY not again. The vibe is so tired. Why do they live and die only to continue suffering in death?]
But yeah! YEEHAW. Souji doesn't look like he's been crying because he simply Does Not, and though there's something still a little unwell in his complexion, he manages a smile as he hears Rupert's voice.]
Ah-- Yes, I am. My apologies if I gave you cause for concern earlier.
hello, he's walking into the kitchen nonchalantly but it looks like he currently does not have a hand! wild. he does not currently seem very concerned about this fact. it is possible he has not even noticed.]
[WELL. Souji's in the middle of cooking something, and he turns around to greet whoever walks in because almost everyone in the graveyard has been pulled into his friendship orb at this point. And it's Rupert! His expression lights up!!
And then immediately does this instead because he notices that missing hand.]
[very lucky that the key to snapping out of it is having someone address you! he looks confused for a moment, because clearly this is fine and nothing to worry about, before the effect wears off and his hand pops back into existence. hello.
there's a pause where he looks pretty horrified. it's also fine and nothing to worry about.]
[Today happened so much, man. It happened so much. Souji's just sort of flopping over next to Rupert whenever he catches him sitting somewhere, looking exhausted.]
w4, monday.
Do you think there's anything we can do to make sure they don't get messed up?

How are you holding up, Rupert-kun?
no subject
[even though this is bad! everything continues to be bad.]
I'm glad they found someone who did it, but I wish - well, you know. I think we all wish a lot of things.
no subject

Hey... Are you alright?

But yeah! YEEHAW. Souji doesn't look like he's been crying because he simply Does Not, and though there's something still a little unwell in his complexion, he manages a smile as he hears Rupert's voice.]
Ah-- Yes, I am. My apologies if I gave you cause for concern earlier.
