w1, FRIDAY

Gerard
May I see you
?

[frogzoned]

Yes. I'm not hiding myself away anywhere.

In the park.

[bindings]

[she will come to the park, then!

she has. water. a cup of water, she's doing her best. she will come over to him and hand it to him. she's helping.]

[frogzoned]

Oh, I-- [ he wasn't exactly paying attention when she appears and then zones back it and is a little surprised. he'll take the water though, grateful. mostly just. holding it. ]

Thank you. I appreciate it.

[bindings]

[she stands there for a long moment, just trying to figure out what to say, and then - she thinks about a conversation she had recently, and just decides to go with that.]

... I'm sorry. [this is what you say to people that have lost someone.]

[frogzoned]

[ its alright, he's awkward too. he doesn't quite know what to say either. i'm sorry seems as sufficient as anything. ]

Do you want to sit?

[bindings]

Alright. [she's calmer than she was earlier, so it's easier to sit down with him.] What are you thinking?

[frogzoned]

I don't quite know yet, is the thing.

[ he reaches up to adjust his crown. fiddling. ]

We have to solve it. There is no way around there. Whoever would harm him - a person who has never lifted even a finger against another - shouldn't be allowed another chance at whatever this is. That much is obvious.

[bindings]

He was afraid. [she says, staring into the distance.] One of the first things he said to me was that he knew he was going to be erased because he didn't want to fight back.

[her fingers flex into a fist and then out again.]

This has angered a lot of people.

[frogzoned]

... You know he was already thinking of home. Of what he was going to do when he got back.

[ gerard doesn't seem angry at all. just. sad. anger isn't his response, generally. not to things like this. ]

I worry about that.

[bindings]

[ooh baby anger is all she feels about it, but she's wearing her ropes, so she doesn't hulk out when he says rin was hoping to go home.]

Do you think it will be a problem?

[frogzoned]

[ god dont we all want ropes that prevent us from feeling too much and hulking out itd be so nice ]

Anger? Maybe. It's easy to get swept up in anger. Forget things. Miss details.

[bindings]

[yeah lucky her]

... I won't be very good at redirecting it. But I think people would listen to you, if you speak up.
