...It's frustrating, not having any way to help. I get it.

[ glancing at the heart-shaped microphone he's set on a table nearby. it's still pulsing away like an equalizer to music, flashing pink, teal, and blue. ]

I always hated how we were just powerless in these games.

[siffrin]

[ Peering curiously at that microphone, at the pulsing shine. as i personally try not to cry at those colors ]

At least there's a stable way for everyone to heal a bit... in Heaven, we had limited items to help heal. [ And Siffrin of course always turned them down in favor of someone else using but sssh. ]

..Are you okay though? After the trip?

[ Not just physically. ]

We had Healing Aura in the UG, too. It's weird only having something like this to rely on.

[ but uh. he hesitates to answer that one. ]

I... I don't know. I don't think I've ever seen something that scary, even with Adonis and the noise in the UG.

[siffrin]

Seems like a lot of us are still adjusting to the differences then.

[ Goes quiet as he hesitates, but before Kazuki can say too much.. ]

If you don't want to talk about it, it's okay. ..Just, if you do, I don't mind listening.

It's only been a few weeks. We had a few months to get used to how things were before.

[ ...it's sweet, he thinks, for siffrin to say that. normally, maybe, he'd appreciate that. distractions were always best, but he can't even play right now, talking is all he has. so he nods, and murmurs a thanks. ]

It was a monster - they called them "humans" there, a lot stronger than regular monsters. It... It ate people. Especially children.

[siffrin]

[ A look of puzzlement, confusion, but frowning deeply. They can think of their own excursions to compare, but some of these are... ]

..And you had to deal with them?

[teenrebellion]

Just the one, but it was more than enough. I… I really didn’t think we’d make it back.
