IT'S MY PARTY! AND I'LL CRY IF I WANT TO, CRY IF I WANT TO

[One hour after the execution, prisoners who have gone back down to the dorm floor will find Angela waving outside the mess hall.]

In honor of what Akira definitely would have wanted and Vita probably at least would have laughed about, we're all having dinner together.

[There's pots of coffee, and glasses of soda, and something like garlic bread, and spaghetti, and it sounds like there's even more food cooking in the kitchen.]

This would be a great time to share anything you got from playing ET, too, you know? [She's just trying to start conversation about literally anything else...]

[Naoya makes to move again, but then... Nagisa's there, calming Jonathan down. Naoya sighs and steps around him carefully, gathering the things from the table and moving to walk away. He's not dealing with you right now, Jonathan.]

[earietale]

Oh no you don't!

[Sorry bud, a teenage girl is in your way.]

What was that? Why were you two fighting?!

[crouching_sin]

[Barbara he will shove you! Or. Well. He doesn't. But he could. Probably.]

None of your business. He just refuses to accept the truth and is far too emotional right now.

[earietale]

What do you expect? Two of his friends just died!

[Everyone expresses at least SOME emotion with death?]

Even if it's the truth, some people just don't to hear about stuff like that right now. So just...don't do that again. Please.

[crouching_sin]

[He stares at her and sighs.]

It's best to not get attached here, given the nature of this place. I don't do 'comforting' very well.

[earietale]

[She lets out a frustrated sigh.]

Fine, then just...don't let it happen again, okay?! We need to at least try to trust each other here, if we ever want to get out of here.

[crouching_sin]

[Trust each other... look how far that got him. Tch.]

... I don't intend on making enemies.

[It just. Happens.]

[earietale]

Then how did that happen?

[Just. Points at the pile Jonathan and Nagisa are in.]

Just...if there's something that you have to think about on weather it's a good idea or not, there's a good chance it's not. So please...think. I don't want to lose any more friends.

And that goes for you too!

[Pointing back at Jonathan.]

[crouching_sin]

[He just shakes his head and sighs.]

Too many things, I think. But I suppose you're right. Most people are still riding too high on emotions to deal with things logically.

[earietale]

As long as you just try. At least.

[crouching_sin]

... I'll do what I can.

[backuphero]

[He flinches. That's a really familiar tone of voice.]

Yes, ma'am.

[And that was completely sincere. Yes, really and truly. He knows he fucked up.]

[earietale]

[She was...expecting more backlash from him? But she can still work with this.]

Thank you.

[backuphero]

[On the one hand, he kind of just wants to... hide behind Nagisa, if that were actually possible. On the other... he nods, meeting her gaze with a confidence he doesn't really feel at all.]

You're welcome. I can't promise I'm better, but... I can try to be?

[earietale]

That's all I can really ask for, right now.

[You're both grown adults. She can't exactly control you like little brothers.]

[backuphero]

I'll try to live up to it. I can promise you that much.
