[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.

[uncurtained]

—Oh, god, I'm glad I asked you. Imagine if I didn't know you had it handled and the people I asked before you just went for it...

[unpredicktable]

It would've made Monday a lot more fun.

[ dick is so sad at the missed trolling opportunity now ]

[uncurtained]

[She laughs, a surprised noise.]

You are the worst.

[unpredicktable]

I'm not wrong!

[ he does not deny being terrible, tho ]

[uncurtained]

Now I have to know, though. What task did you get?

[unpredicktable]

Nothing. Reward for my role this week was a coin I could exchange for a favor. Which... turned out to be good timing.

[ gestures at all of higekiri ]

[uncurtained]

Nice.

[She looks honestly relieved at that, smiling.]

I’m glad he’ll be okay. I was worried about him, you know? I’m sure I’m not the only one.

[unpredicktable]

Well, there was at least the two of us. [ dick's currently trying to not think about how he has a crush on higekiri right now. timing. ] But he worried pretty much everybody.

[uncurtained]

Too bad there isn’t a task to make sure it didn’t happen in the first place, right?

[unpredicktable]

A task to rewind time might be asking for too much.

[uncurtained]

Yeah, I know. It'd be nice, though, wouldn't it?

[unpredicktable]

Maybe. [ he tilts his head a bit ] Did I ever tell you I know a time traveler back home?

[uncurtained]

I think I definitely would have remembered that, which means I absolutely need to hear about them now.

[Story time!!]
