[OUR NPCS... after things calm down, it's not too hard to find Kaveh. He didn't go far--not that he could, anyway. He's got a half-empty coffee cup next to him, as well as Mehrak, which gazes placidly out with a neutral '_' face.
[ wow, this sucks! once they've been set loose on japanifornia again, he's heading towards the gym at some point, though he's so lost in thought that he nearly walks right into kaveh.
though instead, there's a surprised, weak flicker of a barrier that forms between them, so they might both bounce off. ]
[Kaveh is out here!! Doing his best, aka probably trying to get to Buzen because red string shenanigans. He is, at least, mostly healed; he's got some lingering injuries for funsies, but he's up and about and an adult, so that's good.
When he spots Haru, though, he jerks back, eyes wide. Weird.]
[ sorry my backtags are late please blame spoon. on the bright side, it looks like kaveh isn't at death's door... haru is relieved until he also comes to a complete and total stop, staring back at kaveh. this is a deer versus headlights moment, and he's not sure which he's supposed to be.
[When you're on an investigation and your teammate boyfriend is dead except you went the wrong way and had to find out via shitty text message
ANYWAY
As soon as they get the message, his first reaction will be looking for Haru, who TORE OFF OUT OF THE MUSEUM WITHOUT THEM--did he even see Haru leave?? WHO KNOWS. Anyway WHERE IS HE.]
he did tear out of there really fast, but he won't be too far from the museum, having run over to the lake nearby. he still seems deeply distracted, but upon almost literally running into him— ]
[ he's looking out over the water at the park again, though this time he's fiddling with a bracelet he's wearing, gently picking off a petal that's grown too bruised to hang on any longer. ]
...I know you've been avoiding coming near me. But you can sit.
[ he sat in the matsui vortex today, it's really fine. ]
Sorry. [...He thinks of Kazuki and hesitates, but decides to add--] It's been everybody. I've been trying to spare them.
[He knows his vibes are Bad... but at least right now they're more tired and resigned than anything, and he knows that his feelings aren't out of place among the rest of them. Victory is so hollow. It doesn't undo the pain of loss.
He comes over, taking a seat and gazing out at the lake.]
[ he's gonna feel guilty and bad about teenage emotions, but instead of properly apologizing for it, he's gonna just approach kaveh with two movie tickets. he holds them out awkwardly. ]
BUT FOR NOW Kaveh doesn't mind; he's hardly going to be mad at Haru for being upset over a legitimately horrific situation. He offers Haru a smile as he approaches, trying to be reassuring even though he also hasn't quite recovered from the weekend.]
anyway, this feels like a rather personal thing to be stumbling upon, but also kaveh's mother is pretty relatable. he would also prefer to be off to the side, doing his own thing. his father... there's clearly a story there, but he doesn't want to pry. ]
...It was a nice message. [ that she left him to find. ]
[ he's extremely upset that gerard is trying to cuck him of death, even moreso perhaps than i, nu the player, am. so he just limply allows this. sometimes you are canonically terrible at returning hugs. ]
...I know this is the fairest outcome. [ they've killed so many fucking people ] But it doesn't feel like it.
[WE ARE CURFEWING TOGETHER technically they could have this conversation in the house but whatever it's fine. He looks so tired--but at least he's been more or less healed and cleaned up.]
weekend 0, Sunday
He glances over when he sees Haru and nods.]
Doing alright?
this is the worst catchall text in my life
...Shouldn't I ask you that?
[ he's the one who seemed upset. ]
I think it's a great idea

Unfortunately Kaveh cares very much about Haru, so he isn't deterred by bonking into the barrier even if it startles him a little.]

Kaveh is doing his best to stay out of Emotions range, because the last person who needs to deal with his issues is Haru--but he does peer over.]
