[ yay. she's just staring into the fucking void like a crazy. ]

Hey. Tired?

[agleam]

I guess that's a word for it. Are you?

[bxkautx]

Oh, always.

[agleam]

...That sounds really tough.

[genuinely.]

[bxkautx]

Eh. We solved it. And learned a lot.

If you're not tired, what word would you use?

[agleam]

[pauses for a moment.]

Sad? Worried? One of those. Maybe both.

[bxkautx]

Guess we don't have any communication with the other side yet, so that's... fair.

[ be. nicer. ]

[agleam]

It's not just that. But - thank you.

[bxkautx]

Then what is it?

[agleam]

It's something you're not going to agree with.

[not really a refusal, but it's fair to give a heads up.]

[bxkautx]

I'll brace myself.

[agleam]

I just think that was... harder than it needed to be. That people kind of made a fuss about things that weren't really a big deal, and we wasted time because of it.

But we figured it out in time, so maybe I'm worried for nothing.

[bxkautx]

No, I agree with that.

I don't expect everyone to stay calm, but... things could go smoother.

[agleam]

Are you thinking of anyone in particular...?

[bxkautx]

[ thinks about manwol and haru arguing even though she was also arguing with someone at that same time for equally stupid reasons. looks away. ]

... No.

[agleam]

[stop looking away!!!]

I won't get upset about it. I just - want to understand.

[bxkautx]

As long as we got to the right answer, nothing along the way is that big a deal.

Annoying. Or funny. Waste of time or not.

[agleam]

...Maybe not this time. But I don't know if I can say the same about every time moving forward,

[bxkautx]

Did you ever get it wrong? In your games before.

[agleam]

...Yeah. But - well, it's complicated.

[bxkautx]

How so?

[agleam]

...I'm not trying to be rude when I ask this, promise, but - if I tell you, will you promise to keep it secret?

[bxkautx]

Oh, that's easy. I don't tell anyone anything, so yeah.

[ evasive brat... ]

[agleam]

[nods easily enough.]

We've gotten it wrong, but... "We" seems like the wrong term, because the right person to find in the situation I'm thinking of was me.

[bxkautx]

So it was more like getting away with it. Getting it wrong, but in your case on purpose.
