[which is also a clue but it hasn't occurred to her yet because nobody in her world has light/dark powers and she hasn't studied the psychs enough.] It might be. I don't know how to tell, but I'll keep it until tomorrow.
[she will go get him some water! and just shove it into his hands actually. take it.]
[ he will obediently take the water that is shoved into his hands. really this is the idea fei du treatment you have to force him into caring about himself. he's clearly in his head a little, today, though it might just be miring deep into the Crime Thoughts TM ]
That's smart. If there's somewhere you can keep it, like a small bag, that would be especially helpful.
[ it was very dark, wasn't it... fei du looks thoughtful for a moment, releasing the water to pull up his phone and go through the profiles. this is how you cope, sometimes. ] ...I'd like to be able to put down a timeline. From what I heard, they found his body by his own base in the warehouse district, and there was damage in the streets and by the subway. With less blood, it's likely ours was where the fight began.
...Well. Initially, I had wondered if that's what "erased" meant. Erased from existence entirely.
But, if it comes as any comfort, you and I are talking about him right now. [ he reaches out, and... after a moment, curls his hand gently over to rest on hers. touch week. blessed. ] That means he hasn't been forgotten, no? We'll just have to ensure that stays the case even after tomorrow.
he keeps his hand resting on shenhe's for now, and lets her hold his hand. it's very easy this week, in a way that isn't false or performative, and - well, shenhe has been very honest with him so far. seeing her struggle like that touches on something. ]
It'll be alright. Let's take it one step at a time.

What happened to his body? Did they just leave it there?
no subject
[ which is.
concerning and ominous. it's mostly concerning for fei du because he's not sure they took pictures of it. :/ ]

there's an expression on her face that suggests she doesn't like this but not for "they didn't take pictures of it" reasons.]

That was my concern. [being here is one thing, but...
she takes the comfort - opens her mouth, and then closes it. she's struggling a little with this, with the emotions she knows she feels but can't.]
