[As promised, a cat + wife are going to come by –– probably looking a lot more well-rested than last time.]

[she’s along behind her and— she just looks a lot better than she did the last time she was there. But also, she hasn’t bothered to pull her hair up or anything.

Too much effort.]

[ opens the door for the both of them. she looks like shit, but at least she's healed. that's got to count for something. ] ...hey guys, c'mon in. [ she steps aside and motions for the both of them to step inside. ]

[She looks probably less on the verge of having a vicious meltdown but significantly more tired, so on balance... slightly better? Not that D.Va would remember her from before.]

Hey.

. . .Welcome back.

[it counts for something and just-- putting her hand on DVa's upper arm.]

Hey. Have you eaten? Or drank anything?

[you look bad and she's concerned. enough so to fight off those flashes of fear that Kohime might feel]

...do you want to, like, go to my room or something? It's still a little bit crowded in here, so... [ she trails off and motions for them to follow. ] And, ah, thanks. It's... good to be back, I think. [ she tries to smile, but it falls short. ]

I ate when I was a monster, apparently. And I hate some tea when I changed back. I don't really have much of an appetite.

. . .Yeah, we can go there.

[She gives a sidelong glance at Aster to be sure there's no objections, and then just walks herself that way.]

[she seems to totally understand the lack of appetite, at least. and she knows how to manage that now.

but she nods, and follows.]

Yeah, if you don't mind.

[ she curls her tail around one of her legs as she turns around and heads for her room. shoving the door open she waits for the both of them to enter before nudging it shut and slouching against it. ]

[ d.va takes a few deep breathes and closes her eyes. she honestly feels like she's ready to fall apart. ] So you guys are, like, doing better?

[Honestly she's been corralling Aster so much for the past 1-2 days it's almost reflexive to cross to D.Va, planting both hands on the door on either side of her (virtually trapping her there).]

Hey. I told you to breathe. You got rid of it once, you can do it again, and until then we already know how to manage it. Got it?

[Then she backs off a little, stepping back closer to Aster.]

[she watched that display abs swallows before straightening, leaning in to the military bearing for a moment. And then glancing at Kohime and relaxing.]

Yeah.

[and then she kneels beside DVa.]

We... had a head start on working through it.

[the failsafe glows a light white over her chest.]

I am breathing. [ barely. ] ...and I know, but, like, now it's back at square one. I can't remember things again. I could hurt people. [ she tries to keep her tone even, but she feels like she's on the verge of freaking the fuck out again. ] But, yeah, okay... I need to find my journal and... start it up again, I guess.

... [ notices the glow on aster's chest. ] Wha- [ oh, right, we ALL got corrupted. ] Does it... hurt?

[She frowns a little as her attention is drawn to the failsafe, but her tone is gentler now.]

It's not starting over. We have what we learned the last time to go on. So––I've got an idea, if you want to hear it.

[she looks between the two of them, and then shakes her head at DVa's question.

she's fine, she's not hurt at all.

and then presses a hand to her shoulder.]

She's usually full of good ideas.
