[ no he sucks and someone should take me out

honestly, he's sort of nonresponsive. but eventually, ]

I don't know. Hours. [ what does it matter? ]

[foxicide]

[no staples u to life

rang glances at him, then away.]

I get punishing yourself, but at least do it around Monika. [rang is close enough that haru might tell that he's breathing faster than normal, like he's been exerting himself,

but also he is EMO OVER HIS BOYFRIEND SO MAYBE NOT??]

[squirt]

[ TAKE ME OUT!!!!

but no, he does notice, and the weariness he's so completely cloaked in fizzles for a second, replaced with anger. ]

—Are you still hurt? [ what's wrong???? ]

[foxicide]

[STOP DON'T BE MAD

Rang raises a hand, albeit shakily.....]

Stop, I already healed myself.

[squirt]

...Is that why you look so bad? [ IDIOT!!!! he's mad still ] What changed your mind?

[foxicide]

[ignores the first question, he doesn't look BAD (he looks bad). just pursing his lips, then]

...I didn't want to be distracted tomorrow. Especially if I'm going to have to cooperate again.

[squirt]

[ HE LOOKS BAD!!!! haru calms down, though even that bit of tension seems to have wrung him out dry; he runs a hand through his hair, closing his eyes. ]

Are you going to cooperate?

[foxicide]

[he purses his lips, and looks away as if seeing something else, then]

I'll be getting something out of it if I do.

[so theoretically, he doesn't need to make any deals because the payment is enough.... god he's gonna keel over and take haru with him]

I want to know what happened.

[squirt]

[ WELL... okay. that's fine. haru is easy to take down at this point. he just collapses in on himself like a folding chair. ]

...Yeah.

[ yeah. ]

Me too. He... hadn't hurt anyone. [ ... ] I thought that'd keep him safe.

[ but maybe being harmless just made him a target. ]

[foxicide]

[just leaning against haru, his boyfriend's boyfriend...

...]

Shenhe told me that he wasn't planning on fighting back.

[said in the tone 'please tell me this isn't true']

[squirt]

[ unfortunately there are no good red string vibes here to take the edge off

a little sharply, ]

I'd be mad if he didn't.

[ ...the edge wears down fast, though. ]

But I don't know if he could. Last time, he just hit someone with a pillow.

[foxicide]

[IS THIS FCKIGN WHY THERE ARE SO MANY PILLOWS RIN PLEASE

closes eyes]

Even though he spent all that time throwing me on the ground and threatening to beat me up...

[squirt]

[ me gazing into the pillow abyss ]

He pushes me around too. [ rin is annoying like that. clinginess and bravado. ] But he's never hurt someone.
