Fine, fine. [ shifts from foot to foot. ] Same shit, different house.

What about you? You're the one that's third timing it.

[maam........ he gives her a concerned look.]

...It's gonna be really rough. So - you know, not great! But I think that's true for everyone, not just me, no matter how many times it's been for any of us.

But I won't pry or anything if you don't want to talk about it.

That Rin kid said the same thing.

[ that everybody was sad, so he wasn't special or anything. she rolls her shoulders. ]

You're not prying. I'm not upset, really, this is just Stillwater with an extra couple of rulesets. [ ... ] Hey, but - you can be upset. Even if everybody else also is.

No, I know, I promise. And I am - upset, I mean. [he definitely doesn't sound happy!! but.] I guess I just don't want to, like, imply that I have more of a right to it just because of how many times it's been. You know?

[after a moment, though:]

Stillwater... Is that the dream place you were in, or is it where you live?

Just making sure.

[ she can smell the sacrificial nature on so many people here okay

as for the question, she snorts. ]

Sure. I lived there for long enough, it counts.
