THE FINAL MINGLE

Monday comes.

There's no one here. The Silence is....though you don't remember any other monsters, deep down inside of you, you know this is wrong.

Everything is open to you, and no one will complain. You can do whatever you want, now.

....somehow, it feels...awful.

Somehow, you know everything will come to an end...this week.

That's good. Productive outlet and all...

[better than him bonding with dustbunnies again, honestly]

Y-Yeah...

[...

Well.

This is the second most awkward they've been around each other.]

[yyyyeaaah... one upside to Hollowness is the anxiety levels could be worse but aren't.]

... are you feeling better?

...A little less burnt out, yeah.

[She sighs.]

Sorry again, Osamu. I think... I think, everything just caught up with me, all at once. I'd rather walk away than unload all that on you at oncw.

It's been a lot. This mission's a lot.

... I'm a lot.

[even when he's only a part of himself. hhh.]

You're you.

[Her voice, at least, has its kind firmness back.]

And that's something I asked very explicitly for you to give me. Maybe you can be a lot, but you're not ever too much for me. I'm... I'm sorry if I worried you over that, before.

It's okay...

[because in fact, sure was. a thought.]

... I really didn't have time to make persuasive arguments, you know. And Professor's with Red now, anyway. All of that was just... in the moment.

A bad moment.

...yeah.

[She blows out a sigh.]

Just, um... to put it in perspective, imagine I stepped out into the street, and you yanked me back, and a car whizzed by the exact next second that would've killed me right there, in front of you, if you had been off by an instant. Th-that's, um, the sort of panic I was still working through.
