[ his hands are already shoved in his pockets about as far as they can go and yet. can they go deeper. ]

What truth?

[uncurtained]

I don’t know. Just - when I told you, it seemed like there was something you wanted to say, but you said it was nothing. I mean, maybe it really was nothing and I’m just being paranoid, but...

[unpredicktable]

[ he... shrugs ]

You ever think maybe I just wasn't sure what to say?

[uncurtained]

...Right.

[With a small wave of her hand:]

Sorry, I'm just - all over the place, I guess.

[unpredicktable]

[ he runs a hand through his hair with a sigh ]

You're not the only one. You've got nothing to apologize for, Beck.

[uncurtained]

...People keep saying that. Maybe I'll believe it soon.

[She runs a hand through her hair, too, biting her lip for a moment.]

I'm not the only one it's tough for.

[unpredicktable]

No, but... Okay. Let me rephrase that. You've got nothing to apologize to me for.

[ it's a bit wry ]

[uncurtained]

...Same to you.

[She’s hoping he knows that already, but - just in case, to clear the air.]

[unpredicktable]

[ he rubs at his shoulder with a short, awkward laugh ]

You sure about that?

[ Absolutely All Of Trial ]

[She gets what he's talking about almost immediately, and - yeah, there's a little wince. It wasn't easy to watch, but...]

It's not really any of my business what you do. I mean - in that regard.

[unpredicktable]

Still.

[ it kind of became public business because [kagachi voice] bad coping mechanisms ]

[uncurtained]

[After a moment:]

Still what?

[unpredicktable]

... I'm sorry you had to hear about it like that?

[uncurtained]

[She shakes her head.]

That's not really your fault, you know.

[unpredicktable]

Isn't it?

[uncurtained]

[She falls silent, waiting for him to go on.]

[unpredicktable]

[ he's. not sure where he was going with that, is the thing, so. he reverts to being terrible and jokes, a bit flat: ]

I did consider putting on make-up to cover up.

[uncurtained]

Look, it's not like... I mean, you don't have to apologize. I'm glad you had a good time.

[Which isn't quite the phrasing she was going for, but she doesn't necessarily sound upset, at least.]

[unpredicktable]

That's not what I was...

[ trying to apologize for, but he just. hides his face with one hand ]

Okay, let's agree neither of us has to apologize for anything.

[uncurtained]

[She nods.]

Okay. Agreed. [...] Completely unrelated, but can I ask you a favor?

[unpredicktable]

[ ??? ]

Sure. What is it?

[uncurtained]

I... need to get a few people to publicly confess a secret or a regret they've been holding onto.

[unpredicktable]

[ ... ]

What's the favor for?

[uncurtained]

Carlos told me we can fix Higekiri's... whole thing he's got going on because of the bite.

[unpredicktable]

[ oh. ]

... Seems like we had the same idea. [ he looks. wry ] You might want to wait a bit to try to convince people to do this. I turned mine in to Carlos, but it said it might take a few days to work.
