... he's on the phone with his Mom. I can hear him, still. Before this, I think he was training for - swimming? He was really focused and didn't hear me.
There's another one behind you, but - he's just... minding his business, I think.
I don't know whether to hope that it was, or not. I don't want one of them to have felt like they needed to do this... but if it was someone who really knew what they were doing, then going after him is a little different.
It's the same where I come from. Most of the time, no one's going to notice or care... and if they do, they have to either take care of it themselves or hire someone to do it for them.
It is. Especially if it ever happens to take out three of a team... then we're going to lose whoever we decide to pick, plus the last person on that team.
If it's happened two weeks in a row, then... it'll probably keep happening, and we're going to have to keep doing this.

[he's still got nothing. what in the fuck. is something messing with him or did someone get him high...]
If it gets too weird, I can probably chill you out? Don't know if you wanna combine that with whatever's going on, though.

[his eyes will blink open at that - and he'll make a specific effort to focus at netzach's face]
I can't... I have to keep it together. I mean - thank you, but... If I focus, it should be okay.

[sounds like him, at least, so-- probably a good sign.]
Keep talking about stuff, it's easier to ignore hearing things if you're not focused on 'em.

[honestly?]
I'm pretty frustrated...

I can take it - if I've been cursed. I'll deal with it. I can't take that someone hurt a person who was clearly a civilian.

... No. Or at least, I hope I'm not—
Even if I don't know what I'll feel in the moment.

If it's someone skilled who just wanted a simpler target, then I don't get it. Then I'd hate it, actually.

But we won't find out until tomorrow.

At least this time I know what we're doing, so...

I'll follow your lead, Netz-san?

It's interesting. Normally if someone falls in battle, it's normally not a big ordeal to discover who did it, unless you want to take revenge.

But it feels a little bit like - going in circles.

For at least seven more weeks - or less now, I guess.
