[ yeah light it up stinky. eiden flops down by him with a soft thunk and leans back, closing his eyes. the vibes are stinky here because four people really hits him right there in the center of his chest. he lets out a breath and just watches the smoke start to curl. ]
Ooooh... cop in the mall smoking. Don't worry, I won't narc to the shadow cops.
[ he just knocks his knee gently into wenzhou's and lets his emotions wander. they're warm and quiet, unhappy, but smoothed over as just... mourning. it's over now. we have to wait for tomorrow so eiden feels like he's at his most useless right now. ]
... It was cheap. That's what it was. Unfair and cheap.
[ wenzhou knocks his knee into eiden's in response. it is just... mourning. frustrated mourning. if he was wrung out, yesterday, he hasn't quite ironed himself back out today. and he hates this.
tomorrow's a new day, but it's without four different people. ]
Just because it's in the rulebook. [ darkly ] Just because it'll net points. Can't say I'm exactly thrilled that Sweet Theory is about to shoot up to the top of the rankings, and neither are Fei Du or Kyoko. It's not worth it.
Yeah. The entire situation... it really paints a target.
[ he curls his fingers into his palms. his jacket kind of wiggles (what?) and then goes still and eiden pats the wiggly part gently. topper's tiny head pops out and sleepily looks at wenzhou before he goes back to just kind of rubbing lazily against eiden's fingers. ]
I know it's not like that. For you guys. None of you are relishing in this kinda thing. I really hope people understand that... I... [ his voice shakes a little bit. ]
The rest of it... it all happened so fast, that wasn't your fault. Matsui was going to live. He was.

he does not. he rolls his head from where it was lolled back so that he could stare at the ceiling, watching eiden shoot past before coming back. ]
We just lost four people in one fell swoop, and a whole team was wiped off the map.
[ he's just. gonna light a cigarette! in this fucking mall! ]
Yeah - yeah, that was a thing.

Haven't you heard? Fuck the cops. [ dryly, emotions numb but reminiscent of last night. ] Mostly, fuck this place, really.
