but this is funny he truly is being pulled down immediately and he’s okay with it, just opening his arms for matsui obediently because you know sometimes your purpose in life is to comfort your matsu. D and Rang have to deal with this now??]
Mm… I can’t say I like the rules we have to play by here much.
[i like how we're complaining when really the true victim here is anna. i'd say yaywon too but she's too blind by her buzen love.
THIS IS TERRIBLE THOUGH!!!!! Touch week will end and they'll just keep touching fucking help. Matsui immediately curls into Buzen's arms, even if the mention of the rules has him bristling like a little porcupine. Well, it's partially the rules, and mostly just him thinking about Rang sending him a blood selfie before the rest of the group chat.]
Neither do I. The structure of this world is fundamentally disagreeable.
[Where's the time government to shut it down when they need it...]
Matsui is so easily appeased when it's Buzen though HELP... He goes from mildly riled to just a little huffy in like 2 seconds...]
I haven't spoken to the Reapers since that day, but I feel as though they wouldn't provide us with better answers to that question even now...
[Matsui like THIS AIN'T MY AFTERLIFE GET ME OUTTA HERE!!!!
He doesn't really have anything to say about that last part that isn't pessimistic though, so he simply does not say anything and just buries his face against Buzen.]
[STOP SOOTHING HIM HE WANTS TO BE ANGY!!!! No okay what he wants is for Buzen to keep spoiling him which he's getting without any effort, so he guesses he can be less huffy...]
It does feel very... tangible.
[Weird. He has probably not thought of time in weeks for a longass while. Even the days they've been here have passed by in a blink to him.]
But that's fair enough. I was intending to speak with them but the time got away from me, and it seems they aren't available today.
Do you think so? [A little thoughtful hum. He's heard a lot of theories about why they're timing things like this, but this is one that resonates.]
That would make sense. The weight of erasure should be fully felt. After all, even if only one person erased Hikari, we all technically benefit.
[That's a fucking depressing way of looking at it but also true. Matsui isn't exactly grieving the loss of essentially a stranger, but he's already a morose guy, so it makes sense to him to take time out and sit with what's happened.]

but when he bristles buzen just rubs matsui’s back in a soothing little gesture?? like trying to appease an angy cat.]
Mm… I’m still confused about all of us ending up here but - we have to deal with it, I guess.
Though at least Nahi-chan and some other people are willing to look for an option outside the rules over the next few weeks to see what we can do…

Maybe not… but I still want to ask and get to know them, I guess. Seven weeks actually feels like a real length of time for once.
[compared to swords who mostly measure things in years or decades,,]
If we’re all here, might as well…?

[just. thoughtfully…]
Seems like today was just to let us learn a little bit and then… sit with it…?
[so much time for emotions,,]
