They make it sound like it is our fault. Like we have... brought this kind of thing with us, somehow, or at least that these things are happening because we are here. But I do not know how to combat that.
I don't either. It sounds like using color was the answer, but... well, I guess I didn't think to use my color to combat what happened today. It didn't occur to me at the time.

not much occurred to him at the time besides trying to kill so,]
Shale-san told me that if we find something like that again, we should try to stick close to them. But I don't know if they can always follow us. I wonder if it would've made a difference.
There is an exception for situations like yours, where someone may have been killed, but... I think it is better for us to know what this place is capable of. And I do not know that I trust them to be involved in that.
... I think they're confused, to be honest. They say a lot of things that can be hard to keep track of. They told Kiyo-san that they don't forget big things like names, even though when we first met them, they couldn't give us their names... you know?
I wonder if the Prism's put them in some kind of fog.
One of them said they had experience with war, but it is hard to know how they could be sure of that without any memories. But it is hard to know whether that is the Prism or whether they are just pretending to have no recollection.
Mm.... we'll probably just have to keep talking to them and find out. It's one of those 'grain of salt' sort of things, right? I think that's the saying...

Where are you going in such a hurry?
no subject
[a little sheepishly]
I just didn't like being stuck inside that whole time. And I guess I'm still trying to work off some of the uncertainty.
no subject
You are... feeling better, though?
no subject
... Better.
Not exactly right, but better.
no subject
[a pause.]
I hope it goes without saying that I think things have become worse.
no subject
Ah. I think I might've caught on a little quicker than I thought this time.
What do you want to do about it?

We know that it can be used to chase away monsters. But... Could it have done anything to a feeling, like what we experienced?
no subject
I don't know.
I'm sorry - I missed a lot of what happened toward the end. [because of marie] Did you end up experiencing something troubling too when you went out?
no subject
[she has no idea something happened with marie]
We did. It was... a strange sense of guilt.
[so not as worrying as what he went through, in her opinion.]
no subject
[which meant buzen got kicked in the nuts]
... Guilt, huh? Just in the room that you were in? Or somewhere specific?
no subject
[she shakes her head.]
No. There was a ladder leading down into a short passageway between the conservatory and the lounge. That is the only place we felt the guilt.
no subject
... Physically, yes. Mentally, I think she's carrying something hard for the rest of us to understand.
[yeah. that's as much as he can say while still being respectful]
A passageway, huh... Sounds like where the trouble is. Was your guide of the four not able to join you?
no subject
[she won't pry further, though she does look concerned for a moment before moving on. there's a pause as he asks that.]
We did not ask them to come.
no subject

Or do you think that their memories are being tampered with, and they're being controlled to some degree too?
no subject
[she frowns.]
It's hard to know which option it is, until we get to know them better.
