pc catchall for junpei (
Don't look at me like that.
[She sighs.]
Yes to the second question.
[She sighs.]
Yes to the second question.
What's that supposed to mean?
[Ugh.]
Not... exactly, but I guess I told them more than I should have.

[She pauses.]
No, but... Now that you know why, can we skip the who?
No, but... Now that you know why, can we skip the who?
...I'm afraid not. [How to explain...] Beck, there are things I've heard from other people that I've been looking into. I'm trying to track down the source to every thing this ship may be hiding from us, and even if it doesn't seem important I need to make sure this doesn't cause something like this to happen again. It makes sense, doesn't it?
Why did you tell them?
Why did you tell them?
[She sighs.]
Because I trust them. Do you trust me? Because I know for a fact the only reason it happened is because I wasn't careful enough.

I just don't see why it matters what specific person it was, if you already know the reason behind it.
[...normally he'd argue but he can't quite form the words, so he turns his back on her. He'll do it himself then.
As he's looking at the books though, he changes the subject.]
...you deserved a lot better than someone who made excuses to cheat. [He says, knowingly cheating on his fiancée but it's justified for survival. That guy from Beck's memory didn't seem to have a good excuse at all.]

[She looks at him for a long moment, trying to decide what to say - but he speaks before she has a chance. She can't help but smile, even if it's a little melancholy.]
It's easy to say that just based on one moment, but... It's not like he's always like that, you know?

Does that matter? [He knows he has zero room to judge someone he's never met, especially based on just a blip from Beck's memory, but this is something he feels strongly about.] You don't get to say "I don't just want to be some guy you sleep with" when you're going around getting your dick sucked by other people.
[There's a pause then.] But he's not your boyfriend. [A statement, not really a question. He thinks maybe Beck would have said so before.]

It was a one time thing.
[That she knows of, at least. Either way, she sighs.]
I don’t really know what we are. Being here hasn’t exactly helped, either.

[He drops it because Beck can take care of herself, but he's still going to quietly seethe about how she deserves something better.]
Yeah, this place has a way of really messing with your head and confusing what is and isn't acceptable anymore. [A look to the ceiling.] Maybe you don't have to be anything if it's easier.
Or, I guess, it depends what you want to be.

[There's a quiet, unsteady breath.]
Beck, one of the things you have to know about me is that I'm always looking for an answer to something. There's a lot happening in this place that we've barely scratched the surface of. Even with the different things I'm trying to do here, they all lead back to the same place.
[Seek a way out.]

Right, that's just it. I wouldn't even really call any of the three of them acquaintances. I've spoken to them a few times, got some impressions and left some, and left the friendship part up to other people. It's not like it was with Prompto.
But it'll make tomorrow a little easier.

[After a moment:]
...I think tomorrow's going to be pretty tough no matter what.

[There's another look, lightly curious.]
What different things are you trying?

[It's later on in the day when she approaches him wherever he might be, raising a hand in greeting.]
Hey. Got a second?
Hey. Got a second?
Right. I'll start bothering you all hours of the day without asking, then.
[She gives a small smile before continuing.]
Just, you know. Standard and not at all awkward midweek check in... Are you taken care of?

I mean, in a perfect world I'd like to be with him, but...
[She shrugs.]
I don't think he's really on board, you know?
[She shrugs.]
I don't think he's really on board, you know?
It'll be just like home. [Hah...constant working, constant movement.]
...I'll be fine, yeah. Sometimes things just kind of happen? [Heh. But...] Are you? I'm sort of thinking maybe it's better for us to be overdoing it than get caught off-guard. Not that I'm saying you have to sleep with a lot of people but a good range of, like, three maybe?
[....] It wasn't awkward before this, was it.
