... I'm sorry. [ She can't prove or disprove his theory, and she truly looks apologetic for it, but. Well, now he knows what will happen if she tries to help. ]
... Maybe. [ there's something in his tone that's a bit-- will that be enough? before he shakes his head ] Don't push yourself. I-- [ there's a little huff of annoyance before he tells her: ] The locker notes besides the one about people going berserk were us. We get information by helping people with their extra credit.

[ She just murmurs this, throat tight. ]
no subject
[ he hadn't considered either and he knew what her rules probably were ]
You're not the only one who should have realized. [ is what he settles on ]

[ so she doesn't have to face anyone she doesn't want to and also doesn't have to like, idk, die in the woods ]
no subject
[ Yeah, she can't go back to the dorm. She'd walk straight off the roof. ]

no subject
... Then, thank you. I'll be fine. [ Until someone murders her probably ]
no subject
... No, you won't be. [ none of them will, really. ]
no subject
[ She takes a deep breath. ]
But he needs you more right now.
no subject
[ and she's right, of course, and he nods, but-- ]
Don't let yourself forget by placing the blame solely on yourself. Through everything-- it's this place that we've got to blame.
no subject
I've never forgotten. This is just... all I can do.

[ but he'll nod goodbye after a moment of hesitance, because--
he needs to go find taichi, really. ]
