Catch-All: Escha

That part definitely doesn't make sense. I'm glad they're okay, but I wish we knew why or how.

[airshipped]

I have some pretty mixed feelings about them coming back to life after everything that happened to them.

[The dead should stay dead!!!]

But it's... probably better than them staying dead? It seems like the only way we could leave the ballroom was with one of them accompanying us.

[applechemist]

Don't tell any of them I said this, but it's a little bit creepy...

[ The dead should stay dead!!! But... ]

But if it was someone I was close with, I would be so relieved. So I guess it's fine...?

[airshipped]

Yeah, I agree. I won't tell any of them, don't worry.

Junpei seemed like he was close to Carlos, so I guess we can be happy for him? Um... depending on what happens tomorrow.

[Why did they both go to jail?]

[applechemist]

They're from the same world. He didn't mention that they were close, but it definitely seemed that way.

And I guess we'll see, tomorrow. I hope nothing happens to him. We caught Polly and the voice said that was right, so doesn't that mean he was innocent?

[airshipped]

To be fair, nobody's really asked me how close we are to each other.

[Which doesn't really bother him, so it's fine.]

If he is innocent, then why did he go up with her?

[applechemist]

[ Escha freezes for just a second at that first statement and then

just carries on like she didn't. ]

... I don't know. Maybe he was more involved than we thought?

[airshipped]

[Hey, wait a minute.]

Has somebody asked you?

[applechemist]

... Junpei wanted to know, before we started sharing a bed. And Dick wanted to make sure that everyone calls you Logy.

[ And that it wasn't just... Escha's pet name for him. ]

[airshipped]

Huh.

[He guesses he's glad they wanted to be sure? But...]

We're just coworkers. I wonder why they thought we were involved that way.

[applechemist]

I don't know, I was surprised by the question, too.

It's probably just because we're from the same world.

[airshipped]

Hm... Yeah, that does make sense.

It doesn't seem like most people share one.

[applechemist]

Apparently there's a group of four or so from the same world. But most people only have one person they know, if that.

[airshipped]

Huh, I wonder what brought so many of them here.

Oh, I also wanted to ask you about something. [He'd be fine with leaving it alone, but if they're having trial again, he'll probably have to take off more of his clothes. He doesn't want to, but he also doesn't want trial to stall out because of it.] You seemed pretty upset I took off my clothes today.

[applechemist]

[ A mystery. ]

... I just thought you wouldn't want to, that's all. And I knew you were innocent, so...

[airshipped]

Is... that really all it was?

[applechemist]

I think so...

I don't know, I just felt uncomfortable. I don't know why.

[airshipped]

I don't think it's something I can avoid if we're checking each other for wounds.

[applechemist]

I'll just have to get used to it.

Sorry, I guess that's a little bit weird. It's not like I'm in charge of what you do.

[airshipped]

Hm... Even so, it's alright to talk about how you feel.

[But there's very little he can do about it.]

[applechemist]

Thank you. I do feel a little better after saying it out loud.

[ Even if what she said amounted to: "Idk, but bad!!!" ]

[airshipped]

Then I'm glad it helped.

[Even if he's not really sure how? If Escha feels better than that's a win.]

[applechemist]

... Is anything on your mind? You can talk to me, too.

[airshipped]

I'm worried about being stuck here, and how long it's going to be until we can leave.

[applechemist]

Me too... There are a lot of things being provided to us, but we can't just be trapped here forever.
