I've grown out of my brooding, pretentious teenager phase.

[silicone]

Yeah, Mizuki?

[adorabrawler]

Am I interrupting anything? I just... wanted to see how you were doing.

[silicone]

Honestly, Mizuki I'm... really tired. Today was a lot... wasn't it...

[ pats a spot beside him though. come sit. ]

Want to talk about it?

[adorabrawler]

[ She hums in acknowledgement, taking a seat beside him. ]

It's... hard to know what to say. We lost so many this time.

[silicone]

[ he bumps shoulders softly with her. ]

I know. Especially when we still have so many questions left unanswered. We focused at the very end because we had to, but... I still feel awful... We can barely solve one case in an nine hours... much less four.

If I have to be honest, after last week, I... wasn't expecting that everyone could do even one with so much going on.

[silicone]

Yeah... we really had to focus on something towards the end or we were never going to get anything done.

We got really lucky.

[adorabrawler]

If only it felt lucky, too.

[silicone]

It's never ever going to feel even remotely good.

[adorabrawler]

Nah.

... What do you plan to do from here?
