[buzen's gaze flicks to the canal briefly before looking back to her and then, he nods in greeting]
... Moni-chan.
I'm going to ask something, and it might be a little scary - but I won't let anything hurt you. [that's a cool lead up, isn't it] Do you... see anyone? Out there, on the water.
[he pauses, like he's trying to figure out what to say and how to say it delicately]
... I'm seeing Rin-san.
[ok,]
A lot of Rin-san. Everywhere. And so far, it hasn't... it's all been really peaceful things, that have nothing to do with getting hurt. But... what if that changes?
[he closes his eyes, tilting his head like he's trying to listen for something]
... I don't want to risk missing it, if it can help us find out what happened to him.

[HELLO??? That is. A lead up. Monika freezes for a moment, before she quickly turns to the water — and then she relaxes. Not entirely, though.]
I don't see anyone, Zen. What are you seeing?
no subject
... A curse, I think. Or some mean trick of this place.
no subject
How long has this been going on?
no subject
[so that's
fun and neat and cool]
no subject
[fun!]
I can try to get rid of it. But I can't guarantee anything, since there's something wrong with our psychs again.
no subject
I don't... want to take any of your energy, Moni-chan. That doesn't seem right to ask, after all this.

[oh.
monika is silent for a long, long moment, processing.]
I... understand. You have no any idea why this is happening to you, Zen? None at all?
no subject
No. I was at the Cathedral with Matsu, Nahi-chan, and Kaveh-san last night, and haven't gotten to talk to Rin-san in a few days.
[matsui took up so much of buzen's attention the day before]
I know I was cursed earlier in the week too, but... I'm not sure why this is happening.

[not the "apparently"
but also,]
I don't really know either... I don't know why I was cursed in general... but especially this one feels cruel.
no subject
It's still too cruel.
