[she's... in there! she's in the blankets, and she's dry eyed, but she's kind of zoning out a little. so jury's out on if she's okay.]
Ring, yeah. Purple, red, white. Shinobu had one, and it was her place with her sister. She had to kill Tsurumaru or her sister. [a beat.] Mine was my old college. We did a bunch of spirit week games. I had to... I had to pick between letting Harrow burn in an incinerator or shooting Taako. Joonghyuk's was a restaurant. He had to feed Dokja or his sister, and whichever one he didn't would die.
[the joke she was going to make was sibling killer simulator haha]
[ this is more personal information about yjh than cloud has ever learned
and it still sucks. jason's taking care of looking at lup in the blanket pile while cloud gently puts a hand over it on her, unsure. ]
... It wasn't real. They're alright. [ he knows she knows, but like. there's knowing and Knowing, maybe? he is so bad at this how does he keep being invited to comfort sessions ]
He doesn’t try to touch Lup even though Lup probably wants it; Cloud has him covered with the touch. He just doesn’t want to hurt her. He leaves her alone again for right now.]
So they gave you a fucked situation. Unoriginal and unsurprising. What happened after?
[He doesn’t want to force her to talk about the choice if she doesn’t want to.]
[her hand comes out of the blanket nest and rests on top of cloud's. it's a little shaky. she knows it wasn't real. it's the only reason she could make herself do what she did.]
... I didn't sacrifice myself. [she mutters, in that insistent way again. and then:] I shot Taako in the chest. Joonghyuk didn't feed his sister. Shinobu stabbed her's.
That was really it. We went... we went through the three rings. We ended up at a wizard's tower. It got us a tape, and - the chalkboard said Your hurting will be mended, when they return to end it.
[there's more, but it doesn't seem relevant to bring up and she doesn't want to tell them about how badly she rolled the entire cyoa]
anyway, she keeps insisting it in a way that it sounds like she did, but he doesn't say that. he just holds her hand gently like he's worried about hurting her somewhere ]
I think there's a decent chance of getting them back, whatever it is.
[At least, he's planning to try whatever they might find. Hopefully. Fuck this Nightman piece of garbage. Hope the Nightman isn't someone they know, haha.]
[god wouldn't that be funny the nightman is just like, idk, sharpay again or smth]
I hope it is. [about the dead. she shifts, and then pulls the blankets closer. she sounds miserably exhausted when she answers the second part:] ... I know. I know it wasn't real.
[her heart still hurts, though. maybe a little too close for comfort.]
[Lup......... He tried. CLOUD, HELP. He glances at Cloud, then puts a hand on Lup through the blanket for a moment.]
You should try to get a little rest, yeah. We're not going anywhere. We'll be here.
[Well, he may sneak out to get the task and take turns with Cloud who might want to go talk to others, but they'll be there. The convenience of being in a threesome.]
[she leans into the hand on her, with a shivery little sigh.]
Okay. [the convenience of threesome does mean that she doesn't have to be alone! that's a relief because she's probably going to have nightmares of shooting taako in the heart. yaaay.

He once again exchanges another look with Cloud. Okay.]
“They”…?

she shrugs a little in her nest.]
I don't know. It might not mean anything. S'just the only thing I remember.

[ it's pensive, but he doesn't sound sure either. it's a mystery and it's not really the priority right this instant, so. hand holding instead. ]
Or like you said. Unrelated.
