[ that's. hrm. he grimaces. ]

... Yanagiya-san, just what is your job? [ but he shakes his head because it's ~rhetorical~ ] Voting for you isn't the answer. There's going to be more people doing this every week, so even if I did find who's responsible, I'm not sure what I'd do except try and find out why.

[momming]

I'm a doctor. [ she replies anyway, wryly. ]

If there's anything I can tell you, it's what you're probably already doing. Be observant, as much as you can.

[ghoststrums]

[ he just kind of sighs, looking away ]

... I'm trying, really.

[ And Failing is sort of implied in his entire body language because this weekend truly sucked ]

[momming]

[ In response, Otome presses her palms to his face, gently. ]

Yamato-kun, look at me.

[ghoststrums]

[ she's going to shoot him with her phone?

but he does because she is, like, holding his face? ]

What?

[momming]

[ Her lethal phone weapon is not here it's fine ]

I think you're underestimating yourself. Do you know how many are going to want to keep trying to get through this because you didn't give up?

[ghoststrums]

[ blinks ???? ]

I can step up when it's needed, but I don't think my influence is that big. I'm just doing what I can.

[momming]

That means more than you realize.

Don't give up, okay? I don't plan on stopping, either-- not until we can all get through this.

[ghoststrums]

I'm not going to give up. [ he at least sounds confident in that, staring at her seriously ] As long as I can, I'll keep going.

[momming]

Good!

[ And she releases him, with a fond smile. ]

I'll do what I can, too.

[ghoststrums]

[ he smiles back a little ]

Good. [ ah-- ] I think it's pretty obvious, but you can't tell anyone what I told you today.

[momming]

[ She nods. ]

... Be careful, okay? I know you've probably heard that a lot by now, but still.

[ghoststrums]

... Same goes for yourself.

[momming]

Of course! Someone has to keep all of you in good health!

[ghoststrums]

You do a good job. Ah, speaking of... what did you get for the debate?

[momming]

[ another child.

She just sighs, a little unhappily. ]

A voucher for a weapon. I haven't used it yet.

[ghoststrums]

[ STOP but yamato hums in thought ]

I have a voucher for a health item. We can trade if you want? You'd be able to use it better than I could.

[momming]

Oh--! Are you sure?

[ Should she really be arming a teenager ]

[ghoststrums]

I wouldn't offer if I wasn't. Besides, everyone keeps telling me to get something to defend myself with anyway.

[ it's fine?? it works out????? ]

[momming]

... Well, it's true that I really don't want anything happening to you... so if we're allowed to, why not?

[ghoststrums]

I don't have it with me right now, but I'll make sure to bring it over after I've asked the Dorm Heads.

[ because it's Wednesday now ooc so, ]

[momming]

Just let me know! For now, we should probably... well. Prepare ourselves.

[ For this week. ]

[ghoststrums]

... Right. I'll see you later then, Yanagiya-san.
