...I think at least one of us had to, so we'd know how to help Otome when it was over. Or... well, I guess that could be a "felt like they needed to" thing...
[but yikes. she can't even begin to imagine how bad it would be if every single one of them had bailed and otome had just bled out with her head injury when the execution was over.]
Thank you. I... hope it doesn't happen again, but I agree with you that it might. So I appreciate it, that you're offering to help, but... also that you're not treating me like a little kid that needs to be sent away.
We are a pretty good group, aren't we? [miss you convicted a girl of murder because she had red marks on her hand and a dog didn't like her] I mean, I know it's only been a week, but I still... everyone's been really nice. [almost everyone.] ...and we all tried really hard...
[she sighs]
...I get it. I guess I am a lot younger than a lot of people here. [...] It's not like I've never dealt with dangerous stuff before. It's just - it's a different kind of danger here.
But it makes sense that people would want to protect someone younger than them. That's why I wanted to look after Mabel, after all.
Doesn't mean it can't be annoying to be coddled, but yeah. [she wipes her hands off on her pants. terrible.] Mabel is... young. So you can handle her if you want, I'm like - real shitty at dealing with kids.
[she's like 13 but beau is an idiot] It'd be better than me fucking things up.
Yes. I... didn't talk to Kaoruko yesterday, after everything. Since she was upset with me about when I checked her hands...
[she sighs]
And back home, there's a girl in my class I want to try to make friends with, but she doesn't like me very much because I work with a guy she likes. It seems like every time I tried to talk to her, it just went wrong, so... I keep my distance now.
[teenage drama......... stares astruc in the eyes and mouths "you don't know how to write teenage girls"]
...I think so. Our teacher moved our seats around when I came back to class because of a hearing issue I was having - it's all cleared up now, so our seats got moved back in the end! - but... It put me right next to the guy she likes, and she was so upset after that because she really wanted to sit there.
He's a model too, like I am, so we see a lot of each other. I think she wants to spend that much time with him too...
Yeah! I get to see all sorts of different places that other kids my age don't always get to see, and I get to meet a ton of new people, so it's... it's nice!

[a beat.] Which - look. If this happens again, and I have the feeling it might, I don't think you need to leave.
[...] Don't go out of your way to upset yourself. But if you think you need to, just - I don't know, stand next to me.

No, I get you. People wanted to help, so they stayed. I think that speaks miles about us, honestly. As a group.
[...] You kind of are a kid in comparison, but that doesn't mean you're any less competent than the rest of us. We're all in this shit together.
I thought about how pissed I would've been if someone had tried to talk down to me like that, is all.

I don't think you'd, um - fuck it up. Mabel is just...
[she's A Lot.]
...well, it's tough for her. But I understand wanting to keep your distance so you don't make things worse. I've done that before, too.
no subject
Yeah? [she's curious, actually, raising her eyebrows.] Have you?

I didn't talk to her either. Kaoruko. [...] What, is the girl jealous or something?

[she sighs heavily]
...oh! Well, I live in Paris now, which is, like, famous for fashion. There's a designer there, Gabriel Agreste? I model for his brand.

Yeah, it's really fun! And it's nice to be able to earn my own money.
