[uh






stares]

[nohalation]

[eventually manages to stare back.]

...

Were you there?

[a_fine_human]

At the game? No. I missed it.

Looks like you had, uh... a time.

[nohalation]

[hides face behind the chicken]

[a_fine_human]

...people die all the time.

[nohalation]

. . . I know. Bad things always happen.

[a_fine_human]

More than it being bad or good, it's just 'life', right?

Why are you upset?

[nohalation]

[why is she upset?]

[??????]

Because I didn't want it to happen.

[a_fine_human]

So you're upset you didn't plan better..?

[he's trying ok]

[nohalation]

[nods]

[luckily, this team is full of weirdos so it works well enough]

I didn't get a lot of time to do anything before they snapped Intensity's neck, it was really scary.

[a_fine_human]

Oh, you watched him die for real?

[cool]

[nohalation]

Uh-huh. But I guess he came back alive somehow.

[a_fine_human]

I was wondering about that. Good to know.

Anyway, it sounds like you did a lot better than I would've expected.

[nohalation]

[peeks from above the chicken]

Huh? I did?

[a_fine_human]

Yeah. You seem pretty juvenile and helpless, but I guess that doesn't mean you can't defend yourself. Maybe it even lowers people's guards so you have better odds.

[nohalation]

Oh . . . that is very nice of you. I want to be stronger, but I don't know if I can.

[a_fine_human]

I doubt there's any reason you can't be. Stronger in what sense?

[nohalation]

I think I'm figuring it out still . . . Intensity said something about not regretting anything.

[a_fine_human]

Do you regret it?

[nohalation]

I feel really bad, but no . . .

[shakes head]

[a_fine_human]

I don't fully understand the situation, but it sounds like you did well. Intensity seems to agree.

I guess it sucks you had to kill people, but that's still better than it happening to you.

[nohalation]

[hugging the chicken a little closer and nods]

Thank you.

[a_fine_human]

Do you... feel better...?

[nohalation]

...

[nods]

[a_fine_human]

[wait]

Really?
