45. Is it clean in here?
[ ARE THERE NO RATS please he hates this, both the idea of there being vermin crawling around everywhere and also the idea of Mammon plucking one of them off the ground to eat, Ayabe could fry roaches for him but he draws the line at rats. ]
[ He has to sigh a breath of relief, because between blood and rats, the place would have been a health hazard, but at least he doesn't have to kick everybody out to give the place a deep cleaning. Still tempting though.
He comes in closer to see what 45's up to, also glancing down at the bushes. ]
Careful with those- not all of them have their thorns broken off.
Oh, do you have me confused with some of the others here?
[ The ones who try to use a bookshelf as a battering ram for a door locked by mysterious means, the ones who try to set the curtains on fire in the name of science. ]
Don't worry. I don't have any interest in getting hurt. I just wanted to see where it might have happened.
[ He doesn't think she'd be the sort of person to just grab them at random, but it's a gentle reminder just to keep safe so she doesn't prick her very human fingers and bleed human blood. ]
What good is it now?
[ He settles down next to her and stares at the plants. No blood. Everything's been cleaned up. ]
...Nikki had lost her sense of touch. I told her I would help her check places she might've been injured without her knowing, but she did her own feet because she could see them herself. I should have caught on much earlier.
[ If she started bleeding human blood then there are suddenly a lot of concerns to address. ]
None at all.
[ It's remarked in such a light tone that it's almost easy to miss that it's a response to the question it is- that all this is pointless. But she lilts a light note before looking up from the undisturbed plants and at him instead. ]
The evidence at the time still suggested some sort of wild animal attack. There was a lawyer in the room who made no comment until later on. Plenty of people have been taking care of their own afflictions this week. Should you have caught on?
[ But again, the conviction isn't there; he should have caught on in that he wanted to on hindsight, but there's no reason he should. He just wish he did, but at the same time, it would still have been after the fact. It would have been no good, all of this still would have been pointless. ]
We're all in the same precarious situation where everybody should be looking out for everybody else. I shouldn't have responsibility over everybody here, but the fact is, I do, just by being a part of it. So I should have caught on.
Careful, else you're gonna collapse under all that responsibility you've taken on. ♪
[ It's still lilted out, soft and gentle, light and sharp. ]
You don't know anyone here. You don't know how they should or shouldn't act. You wouldn't have known there was anything out of the ordinary, with this many moving parts to familiarize yourself with.
[ EXCEPT NOW HE IS BEYOND HELP idk what to do with him besides have him lie in bed until endgame, wow, what happened. The older this thread gets, the sadder it is. ]

My priority is to get myself out of here. I will help those who are trying, and I'll stay out of the way of those who are trouble.
