[ he sees mizuki and blurs into a mess of a static. ]

That's an improvement from the floor, I guess.

[ he's already turning to leave again. ]

[psynchroneyes]

[ buddy... u good, ]

Yeah, I can't really argue with you there.

[teenrebellion]

[ is anyone ]

I'm happy for you.

[psynchroneyes]

[ she just. gives him this sidelong glance. ]

Hey.

Are you mad at me?

[teenrebellion]

[ he pauses to turn back at her, once again flickering out of focus. ]

If you voted for Sheba, then yes, I'm going to be mad.

[psynchroneyes]

[ Ah.

Well. Silence follows, until she eventually exhales. ]

I can't pretend I didn't. You know I'd be lying if I tried to say otherwise.

[teenrebellion]

Then there's your answer.

[psynchroneyes]

[ ... ]

Well, all right. So what do you want? I'll let you take a swing at me, or I'll just leave you alone from now on.

[teenrebellion]

What kind of person do you think I am?

[ take a swing at her??? ]

What does it even matter? It's not like you're the only one who did.

[psynchroneyes]

I don't know! Because you're pissed and it's something you can do in this fucked up mess?

[teenrebellion]

And what good would that do? It's not going to change anything. I'd rather do something productive than waste my time on useless things like that.

[psynchroneyes]

.... Then I don't know what you want from me.

[teenrebellion]

I never said I wanted anything from you. I don't. Like I said, it doesn't even matter. The trial's already over - it's done, and they're both screwed.

[psynchroneyes]

Fine. Whatever.

It's not like I'm proud of what I did, but I doubt that matters either.

[teenrebellion]

Just doing your job, detective.

[ he is turning for the door. ]

[psynchroneyes]

...

[ Her gaze drifts to the floor, and she stays quiet. Though, before he's gone for good: ]

—One last thing.

[teenrebellion]

[ the static overtakes him for a second, but he pauses to look back. ]

What?

[psynchroneyes]

[ a short beat follows, a hint of hesitation. ]

I'm... sorry. If I ever made you feel like I didn't care.

[teenrebellion]

[ he stares at her for a long moment, either unaware or ignoring the spray of sparks that dance over his arms. though angry and frustrated still, he doesn't want to be either right now - notbwhen they're waiting for him to head back any minute now.

he shakes his head. ]

You're not the first. From where I'm standing, that is pretty normal.

[psynchroneyes]

[ ... That really shouldn't be. ]

It doesn't make it right. So... I don't know. That's all I wanted to say, I guess.

[ No reason to hold him up when he's pissed at her anyway. ]

[teenrebellion]

I never said it was right. Just normal, for me.

[ and mizuki had argued so much for her normalcy, earlier today.

but since she's done... he'll take his leave without another word. ]

[psynchroneyes]

[ bye...

she sinks back into the sofa, tiredly. ]

What a lousy day...
