Week 7, Monday

[ohthehumanities]

[After they've dispersed and some time has passed, Kaveh will carefully concentration-summon her!!]

Valerie? Are you there?

[huntressinred]

[ she lets him sit in suspense for a few moments but then ]

Yeah. I'm here.

[ohthehumanities]

[She really could have left him hanging for so long and he would've bought it

But since she kindly didn't, he will face her!!]

I'm sure Nahida's already spoken to you, but--I'm sorry.

[huntressinred]

[ he can get some vague confusion emotionshare vibes off of her ]

What? Why?

You weren't involved in it, right?

[ohthehumanities]

Well, no, not exactly. We'd discussed the overall situation in vague terms, but they didn't tell me until after... but still.

[She was hurt, is the point. He doesn't want her to think that that was forgotten, even though he knows it doesn't hold as much weight from him.]

[huntressinred]

...did you help them decide on targeting me?

[ohthehumanities]

No, I didn't.

[He truly was so uninvolved in 99% of it all, and that, in its own way, is something else he feels guilty for. He'd agreed to them making the choice to take a life, but he hadn't even been able to face the worst of it alongside his teammates. Not that he regrets not hurting anyone personally, of course, but... it's just complicated. The whole twisted thing.]

[huntressinred]

Then I don't have beef with you. Just Shu.

[ohthehumanities]

Fair enough.

[He won't stop feeling guilty anyway, but enough people have yelled at him over the past few weeks that he knows better than to insist.]

It's been alright, though? Over there?

[huntressinred]

It's...been.

[ohthehumanities]

[Oh... he looks a little sad.]

The others haven't looked out for you?

[huntressinred]

I don't get along with a lot of them.
