[ likewise, he seems to realize he's taking his frustrations (disappointments?) out on the wrong person and he shakes his head to clear the cobwebs a little. ]
What? Oh, no. It's not...it's fine. I get what you're saying. If people couldn't be convinced by what was right in front of them, they're definitely idiots.
Nope. [ a tired sigh. ] It's just...going to have to be about doing better. [ which they've been saying, but like. when is that going to actually stick? ]
You weren't that close to any of them this time, were you?
It's just another one of the things about it. It sucks to have the threat of erasure hanging above us, but I think people forget how bad it is for everybody who's left behind. I talked to Haru about this a little while ago, too. We never...really get time to process the stuff that's going on. We're just forced to keep going and figure it out on the way.

...don't get too caught up in stuff, Mizuki. There's a lot of things that happen here that you shouldn't have to worry about unless you really want to.
I think you're really the only one who can decide that for yourself. Does it matter what other people think when you're the one who has to live with how you feel about things?
No, I'd say the same to Kazuki. Or Alex. Or Setsu. [ there's a sigh. ] None of us are really qualified for any of this. We shouldn't have to just pretend that all of this is easy to accept and we're used to it. Or that everybody handles it the same way.
