[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.]
[Oh. Hm. Souji, who had not been expecting quite this much horror in response to being snapped out of it, takes a second to think about exactly why there would be so much horror.
Bad!!
He's moving over, leaving whatever was on the stove to cook for now, and rests a hand on Rupert's arm.]
Would you like to take a seat? I'll make you a cup of tea.
[He is a terminator and he will run everyone down. But for now, he'll just come over with a cup of tea once it's brewed. It's calming lavender, because he's learned some tea magic in his time away from home.]
Here. Is there anything else that I can do for you?
You know, somehow I haven't asked a lot of people about how theirs ended except in terms of, like, whether everyone was okay... But I don't mind when it happens, as long as it does.

Sorry, I - I'm fine. It's okay.
no subject
Please, there's no need to apologize. Let me at least get you something to drink.
[He's already bustling about to get some tea ready PUNK.]
no subject
...Thanks.

Here. Is there anything else that I can do for you?
no subject
No - I'm alright, seriously. It's not what I thought it was.
no subject
...Mm. This week's effect, it would seem. It's quite a disconcerting one.
no subject
[everyone being in this hell is worse!!]
no subject
It's good this way, though. We can keep an eye on one another and make sure that things don't go too awry.
no subject
Right. I just... [...] You don't think it's going to get worse, do you? No - never mind, it doesn't matter. We'll just deal with it then if it does.
no subject
--Mm, you're right. We'll simply have to deal with it as we're able to.

[...]
How close to the end did everyone come back, for you?
no subject
--At the very end of Saturday, after our final trial and execution.
[They really scooted right by under that limbo stick...]
What was it like for you?
no subject
[so he doesn't have to stress about why they are Still Here.]
no subject
Mm, I believe I've heard of some others who had to wait until near the end... The camp, for one.
