[ Dia, previously known as a melted pile of gore and bone on the onsen steps, seems for all intents and purposes completely unbothered by the events of the game. Once she makes it back to the dorms she just goes right back to her usual routine: she spends a brief few moments in the sun room checking up on the plants and then changes clothes to head into the kitchen; dinner is kept to a simple soup, just seasonal vegetables with a few sides (probably......... no one is in the mood for meat right now, she imagines). she does make more than usual, someone might note if they were to peek in, a portion of which gets packed away into a large container and set aside.

Once it's all done and out to eat, without taking the time to have any for herself, she takes that container and a few tins of tea and a... parasol? clearly not her own - and heads for the door. ]

I'll be back in a little while, okay...? Well -

If there's something that ends up being needed, make sure that you let me know, alright? Do you know how to use phones that are made like these...?

[ Aliza's got plans in a bunch of places, and none of them include any eating (for once). While the soup is still cooking, she does make her way into the kitchen, but not for anything she needs for herself. ]

I see we had the same idea. I was hoping that maybe tomorrow you could help me make some soup. One of my -- [ hmm maybe trying to settle on a term was a bad idea here ] someone I know was punished with low body temperature, and I wanted to bring him some soup. But if I try and make it myself it'll only make him feel worse.

What you ended up making before was really nice, wasn't it? Well -

I'll do my best to help - what sort does he like to have...?

I'm not going to cook by myself, I want him to feel better not also get food poisoning.

As for what he likes, anything that's not spicey. [ She thinks for a second ] Not even a little spicey, just to be safe.

"Not spicy" . . .

Um, why don't you try to make this soup? I'll do my best to help you, so you don't need to worry - okay?

...We can do it tomorrow or the next day. I think his punishment will last a few days.

[ NOT CONFIDENT THAT SHE CAN DO THIS WHATSOEVER ]

Do you want to try it when I come home...?

Ah -- well, I'll probably be away for the night. I'm not running away I promise, it's just that I should give some time to the people who were forced to watch me die those times, and some others that had a very hard time.

[ For once this is more selfless fleeing than selfish, so it's progress! ]

[ Aliza had said that Aradia would most likely be unphased. It's still somewhat surprising to see her go about everything so cheerfully and calmly--as though the worst of what happened was little more than scraping her knee. Post-shower and post-shower-screaming-session, Lumine is quietly hanging out around the main room so she gets to see Aradia as she's heading out. ]

Yes, I can use it some.

[ Probably not as good or as quickly as others, but enough that if she needed help she could certainly need a message. ]

Are you going to see your husband?

[ broke: talking about bad things that happen or bother you
woke: pretending that nothing bad happened
bespoke: routinely using unit abilities to remove your capacity to feel any unnecessary feelings, thereby circumventing all steps implied by the above ]

Oh -

Well, of course I'd like to see how he might be doing, but there's a gift that I've been meaning to give Eirene for a little while now too, you know? And besides those things, that child that saw me during that game was a new member of sensitIV, right...?

[ even if it doesn't bother her at all (citation needed), she at least remembers that alala seemed kind of

upset. ]

Eating is something helpful to that unit in healing, too, so I thought it might be nice to bring a few different things... do you want to come with me, Lumine?

[ She needs to share these coping methods at some point. ]

I wouldn't mind going to visit if that's where you're going.

[ She wants to check on Venti anyway. ]

Do you think they're ready to have visitors?
