Maybe she’s calmed down by now. It can’t hurt to ask her, right?

[If she doesn’t answer or can’t help, they can figure it out from there.]

I’m going to see if Carlos can help out with that at all. I just... hope he won’t do anything reckless as we look into it.

[crashout]

I wouldn't mind going to see her and see what we can do together. If it's both of us, we might be able to get something done, right?

[There's a flicker of something in his expression when she mentions Carlos but he nods.] Let me know if he has any ideas. [...] In the meantime, I'm trying to figure out how to get close enough when he won't let any of us touch him or anything.

[uncurtained]

[...]

Get close enough for what?

[crashout]

Anything. [Like. In general, he means, although...]

...Wei Wuxian seems to think that Higekiri's developed a taste for flesh.

[uncurtained]

...Yeah, he told me, and why he thinks that.

[She sighs.]

[crashout]

...I don't want to kill him. [Slowly, but there's hesitation there.] But we don't know what's really wrong either. We thought about maybe locking him up somewhere, but we come back to the part where we can't get close enough to put him in a cell.

[uncurtained]

[Almost immediately:]

We aren't going to have to kill him, okay? No matter what, we'll... We'll figure out a different way. That's not how this story goes.

[crashout]

That's what I want to believe. I really, really do, but...what if? I've had a lot of people tell me just to kill them to make sure the people left alive are the right people.

[uncurtained]

The difference is that leaving him alive isn't going to hurt any of us. He stopped getting worse after that injection, right? So...

[She takes a breath.]

I'm not giving up on him.

[crashout]

...neither am I. [It's just. Scary.] Whatever we can do to fix him, we'll make it work.

[uncurtained]

[She nods, taking a breath.]

Sorry. I don't mean to jump down your throat, just...

[She's worried.]

[crashout]

No, hey...you're not. I'm pretty worried, too. [They're only human, after all, on this fucking crazy ship.] We'll try everything we can whether he likes it or not. I promise.

[uncurtained]

[She nods, letting a small smile come to her face.]

Right. We'll figure it out together.

[crashout]

We usually do, don't we? [He sounds almost optimistic about that.] I think you and I make a pretty okay team.

[uncurtained]

Just okay, huh? Should I be insulted?

[Judging by her smile, she's the opposite, of course.]

[crashout]

You kidding? "Just okay" is already leagues better than how things started out with my last team. [He's. Only half kidding. C-Team was a fucking mess.]
