[ SHE....took a nap because being awake was too much effort. BUT NOW.

Ding ding, you have a Dissonance message. ]

Primrose: Hi.

Joker: hey
Joker: sorry for not checking in

Primrose: I was asleep. You don't need to apologize.

Joker: not checking in was probably worrying still
Joker: we got out okay though
Joker: Maki got A down
Joker: he's at AlcheME now
Joker: i got back to Bad End... somehow or another

Primrose: Of course it was.
Primrose: You are important to me, so I worried. That is just the natural course of important friends.
Primrose: I'm glad to hear A ended up getting down safe.
Primrose: For the record, saying stuff like that isn't going to worry me less.

Joker: sorry
Joker: i just mean that i'm tired enough that I probably just auto-piloted getting home

Primrose: Stop apologizing.
Primrose: It saves me from telling you that I forgive you a million times?

Joker: my bad
Joker: bad habits

Primrose: Do you want to talk?
Primrose: I don't want to force you.

Joker: ... i'm not sure where to start

Primrose: My buddy bond hands are unfortunately nowhere near.
Primrose: I know words aren't easy.

Joker: it's more there's been a lot and i'm not sure if i can go into all of it right now

Primrose: Then only go into what you are most comfortable with?
Primrose: I can also come over later if that helps.

Joker: then
Joker: in addition to slew of bad memories
Joker: Maki did downgrade the relationship
Joker: that's why A said "my girlfriend broke up with me"
Joker: it's more like we're still kinda involved but not dating and not exclusive anymore
Joker: that's probably the least hitting news so far

[but still. hits hard.]

[ ... Prim is putting together some pieces right now, definitely. ]

Primrose: And the memory tipped A over his threshold.
Primrose: That kind of thing is hard no matter what you do, or how anyone puts it.
Primrose: ... are you sure you don't need some company?
Primrose: I can't imagine that you feel much better.

[...]

Joker: not really no, i'm not
Joker: and i won't say no to your company
Joker: you should know that

Primrose: I know you won't say no.
Primrose: But sometimes people would rather be left alone.
Primrose: ... nevermind, I'm coming over. There is no way I'm letting you be alone right now.

Joker: i'm not really alone
Joker: but door's open when you get here

[ Then...at some point. Probably after talking to Fox again she will appear in Bad End, and where ever his room is. Honestly she’s just going to stand in the doorway. ]

[it's probably before Mars shows up in the timeline cause... getting stoned and then hanging with Lily makes more sense at the end but anyway.

he's probably flopped on his bed again by this point, kind of staring at the ceiling until he notices Prim hovering near the doorway.

pushes himself up on his elbows. eyes are bloodshot from all that crying and not sleeping]

Hey, Prim.

[ LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE, JOKER.

She steps inside and sheds whatever ridiculous thoughts she may have been having. She has questions, but Joker has probably answered enough of those right now.

Her next step is putting her arms around Joker and tugging him to her in a hug. She’s selfishly glad he’s in one piece and unharmed. ]

You really really should try to get some rest soon.

[doing better about finding himself in hugs, has one arm go around her in a return hug while his other supports him a bit from behind.]

I've been hearing that a lot. I'll be all right. B's generous with potions, and my unitmates have some, even, if it's really bad.

[ Her hands are rubbing his back, soothing him even if he didn’t need to be soothed. ]

I’m just worried about you. Fox and I talked for a little bit, he tried to fill me in on some parts I was missing.

[... tightens his end of the hold a bit.]

I should've explained about Shido... that's. Where it all gets complicated.

Do you want to get into that explanation right now?
