It was only two rounds, and I wasn't hurt much. I mean, I spent the whole second round hiding in a hole with Cobalt-san and Eclipse-san. And the first round was-- it was just... depressing.

[ .... honestly that isn't much to go on but. at least. he's relieved. ]

I'm glad you didn't get hurt.

... if I had seen you, I would have- I mean, ...

[ no. ] Maybe it's better that we hadn't met, if you didn't get too hurt.

[... sighs.]

Nine tried to force me to fight. He was afraid that otherwise I'd just let myself be killed without even trying to-- to defend myself and be punished, which was stupid. And then he got himself killed, which is even stupider. But he knows he was wrong, and he apologized, which is... something... but still, seeing him die...

[he trails off.]

Between that and people being scared of me for being a member of sensitIV, even when I was offering to help, I couldn't... there was nothing I could do about all the violence, and I hate it. I don't know. Maybe if we'd met, I could have at least... healed someone. Stopped a fight. Maybe not.

[ hhhe winces. and glances back up at Anubis for a moment, ]

Someone was afraid of you? [ his tone is that of disbelief. he can't imagine anyone being afraid of Anubis. ]

... who... [ wait. actually. ] ... was it someone from Zrael? Or Avante?

[blinks...]

Avante and HSS. Nemesis-san and Hurricane-san. When I woke up, Nemesis-san was screaming... but they wouldn't even lower their weapons until I left the areas.

50000 years later i'm sorry

...ah…. those two-- [ he starts as if to say something else, then stops immediately. lingering on silence… ]

In trying to protect Nya, I killed Hurricane. ... and Nya killed Nemesis in self defense. He shot at her, and the rest happened like a blur. ... it was my fault for trying to rely on him in the first place.

After that... it went downhill from there.

[rollwillpowercheck]

[takes a moment to digest this.]

I think... Nya-san would be sad to hear you say something like that. But... they attacked you two--?

...... there's not a whole lot of room for communication when everyone is scared and fighting for their lives.

...

A misunderstanding.
