[He did. That someone's name is Asch.]

More importantly, don't blame yourself for what happened. Yours wasn't the only power that was at work last week.

[fishingforcompliments]

[AND THEN THAT GOT HECKED UP.]

...well... no, but it seems to have been the catalyst for the others.

[swordflash]

[It was beautiful for two days.]

Everyone was just reacting to how we were acting. That's not your fault. No matter what anyone says, you can't think that, all right?

[fishingforcompliments]

...but you would not have been acting that way, had I not used the power.

[so

it is her fault!




beau's threats the next day are only going to hammer that home.]

[swordflash]

[No!]

Maybe everyone was trying to help, but weren't you trying to help even before that? It doesn't make sense to pardon everyone but you when you think about that. It's not like you used your power carelessly, either.

[He does have a point. She had tried to make sure it wasn't too incapacitating before using it on any of the other participants, but...]

...still...

[It's hard to shake the guilt for her own actions - particularly when, for the most part, she can't even admit to them.]

[swordflash]

[She's such a good person. If he could hear her sound, the guilt might've overwhelmed him to tears like it almost did at another time.]

You were thinking about me when you did it. That's more than enough for me.

[fishingforcompliments]

[Zenitsu is almost too nice.]

You truly are among the kindest people here.

[swordflash]

I wouldn't say that. After all, you're the one who went out of your way for me!

Are you going to tell Asch?

[fishingforcompliments]

[the thought of telling asch is fucking terrifying, but.]

...I ought to. I owe you both that much.

[swordflash]

[That's because Asch is terrifying. But he does deserve to know the truth.]

Do you want me to go with you?

[fishingforcompliments]

[She considers it for a moment - it would make her more comfortable to have someone there. But...]

No... I should tell him myself.

[If he does react poorly, she doesn't want Zenitsu to get caught in the crossfire.]

[swordflash]

[He nods. If that's Flayn's decision, he'll respect it.]

All right. If anyone happens, though, you can tell me.

[fishingforcompliments]

...thank you, Zenitsu. I appreciate that.

[if she turns up dead on friday he'll know it went poorly!]
