... Yeah. It's starting to sound like his body was at its limit.

[teenrebellion]

...I don't think it was supposed to be yet.

[ thinking about that transcript luke left behind. ]

It doesn't explain Dahut, but I guess we just have to wait for them to do their thing.

[ there's a trace of bitterness there. more waiting. it's always more waiting. ]

[psynchroneyes]

Ugh. I mean, I get it—they're not going to want some junior crew dealing with the aftermath of this, but... Do they really expect us to just sit around?!

[teenrebellion]

Apparently.

[ sighs and brushes a hand through his hair. ]

Charles-san said if they can't sort things out, they might make us help, too. But that's just as messed up, isn't it? They're the ones who dragged us into this in the first place.

[psynchroneyes]

That's just an assumption. What're they gonna do, make a bunch of unqualified people go on an investigation?

[ (SMASHCUT TO TOMORROW) ]

[teenrebellion]

[ shifts just enough to look at her in his peripherals. ]

After the way they've been running everything so far, would you really be that surprised? Nut & Bolt is held together by a thread.

[psynchroneyes]

Grunt work is one thing. Two people are dead—there's no way they'd be stupid enough to treat it like the same thing.

[teenrebellion]

You've got a lot more faith in Nut & Bolt than I do.

They'd be stupid to treat it the same. [ he does agree there! ] But that doesn't mean they won't do it. This place isn't run the same way as stuff back home.

[psynchroneyes]

... Well, I'd like to believe they have some reason.

[teenrebellion]

[ he gives a half-hearted shrug. ]

Guess we'll find out before long. They can't keep us in the dark forever.

[psynchroneyes]

It's been hours. These things take time, so... I'll wait a little longer.

[teenrebellion]

I wasn't expecting an answer immediately. [ ... ] Jingu-san was right, though. They should've said something. Even the police can do that much.

[psynchroneyes]

Mm.

Must've caught them off guard even more than it did us.

[teenrebellion]

Yeah. Apparently they were surprised, too. Some of the others got stuck with them.

[psynchroneyes]

[ just. a nod. ]

I can't give them too much crap for fumbling a little. I doubt this is something that happens a lot.

[teenrebellion]

I doubt they'd be so gung-ho about this job if it did. But there's seriously something messed up going on for this to happen at all.

[psynchroneyes]

Let's be real—it's been messed up from the start.

[teenrebellion]

Some of us have been saying that this whole time.

[ and some of you have been bitching about it. ]

[psynchroneyes]

Yeah, I know. Some of us more than others.

[ you. ]

[teenrebellion]

[ looks away sulkily. ]

I'm just used to things going badly by now.

[ he'd hoped it wouldn't be like that here... but of course it let him down. ]

[psynchroneyes]

[ ... ]

Yeah? Why's that?

[teenrebellion]

Terrorists have a habit of ruining everything.

[psynchroneyes]

... You—said you were from Tokyo, right?

[teenrebellion]

Mm. Shinjuku.

[psynchroneyes]

Is it a big thing?

[ she's very ???? as she doesn't recall any terrorists ]
