I feel like that must be even harder, though... You've all been together for so long.

I won't lie to you. Even knowing it was coming it hurt all of us way harder than we expected. [ that was their setsu... ] It's like...even before we became a team, we all got along pretty decently. Alex and I are from the same place. The first thing Kazuki did was offer to share his meatballs with me. And Setsu and I...we learned some stuff about each other that most people wouldn't understand. Kazuki and Setsu became friends really fast and had planned to work together by the time Alex and I started looking for another pair to join us. It made sense for all of us to be together.

And even with our problems...we worked through it. We got close. I don't...none of us really get close to people easily. So maybe that's why. [ they're taking this pretty personally. ]

[oh... it's not surprising, but it's still really painful to hear.]

... I'm so sorry, Jonas.

I promise... I'll do everything I can to find out what happened to them.

[ he sort of shrugs. not because he's blowing it off, but because he's grown a little used to losing people when they get too close. ]

Thanks. [ for both of these things, though the latter gets a tiny bit of concern from him. ] ...three bodies is a lot for us. Think we'll manage to get somewhere faster tomorrow?

[ because one of those bodies was her teammate, too. this is probably important. ]

[saillune]

Definitely! It'll be a lot of work, but I know we can find the answers!

[it is unclear if this is confidence week talking or if she has a good reason to think so.]

[westedge]

[ well. he'll take it because he figures it's better than questioning her when she just lost a teammate, so there's a slight grin. ]

I think we can, too. We just have to focus and not slack off when things get weird like they always do.
