[Okay well. This sucks and Kaveh is miserable but if there's one thing he's good at, it's turning his focus to other people, so. He is here tracking Matsui down!!]
He'll come sit, though. This place has no religious significance to him whatsoever, but that doesn't matter when you're an architect, really. He gets it.
The shamelessness has worn off by now, but he opts for honesty anyway.]
...It would be a lie to say I was. ...He was so sweet--I don't understand.
[Why someone would target him, of all people. He was kind and caring, but not even close to the weakest person here, even if he came from such a normal life and world. It makes no sense.]
[HE'S GOTTA, LISTEN. It's fine. He's gonna pray for this sad scrawny teen's soul.]
...I also don't understand. [Even though Rin asked him if he thought he'd be the first to go and Matsui had only said "not necessarily".] Hikari made sense, from the perspective of seeking an opponent that could fight back. But Rin was just a boy.
[LIKE A TEENAGER NEARING ADULTHOOD TO BE FAIR but everyone is baby to Matsui. This is also Matsui's way of saying Rin was incredibly normie.]
[Kaveh can't decide whether that's reassuring or not, honestly. It's good, perhaps, that even a living weapon can't fathom such a reason for this--but that doesn't change anything about reality.]
He was. And it's not as though we have any way of knowing what team is at the top, right? The reapers wouldn't even tell me the point totals for our other activities.
[Just nodding because that's fair. He remembers his conversation with Shu about asking for her reasonings... Nahida probably did, if any of them at all.]
Mm. It isn't unusual for people to act in unexpected ways in difficult situations... But even knowing that, seeing it happen is hard to comprehend.
He seems content to sit in silence though which truly kills me aki how tf do u play characters that actually will not say things for a wholeass tag. i hate it here. Anyway, when Kaveh speaks up again, there's still a little pause before he answers.]
[SOONISH... Kaveh frowns a little, but. Powers are fucky on Fridays so it's probably best to save it... but he'll check in again. He will remember this.]
Yes, albeit a little mortified over some of the things I said yesterday. [He sighs.] And after I'd just talked about how much I hate things messing with my head, too.

Matsui...?

Kaveh... [He'll look over toward the sound of his voice from where he's sitting in the front pew, though.] --Are you alright?

I wonder what the reason could be, then... I never did learn Yang's.
[He doesn't typically feel compelled to ask why people do murders, but in this case...]
no subject
Not cut out for this game but for very different reasons]
Neither did I. It seemed obvious, in her case... even though she didn't seem to be the sort.

He sighs quietly, leaning back. For a little while, he just sits next to Matsui, lost in thought. But, eventually:]
How are your eyes?

I haven't healed them yet. But I will, soon.
[Soonish.]
Are you feeling back to yourself?
no subject
Yes, albeit a little mortified over some of the things I said yesterday. [He sighs.] And after I'd just talked about how much I hate things messing with my head, too.
