[ wenzhou is sitting silently out in the void - probably outside, for the fresh air. not that it matters, considering he's got a lit cigarette held close to his mouth but not actually smoking it.

it's... not looking great at the moment. eiden just sits down beside him quietly here in the void and puts one of two cups of coffee down in front of him, holding his own and staring down into it a moment before speaking. ]
[ there's no reaction right away, but then he hears what eiden says - and doesn't say - and wenzhou takes in a deep breath that isn't full of cigarette smoke.
his other hand comes up and combs through the longer strands at the base of his skull, before he uses the touch to pull him sideways into his shoulder. ]
Yeah. We'll figure it out. It's not going to be the justice that either of them deserves, but it'll be the truth.
[ oh he just. follows the hand immediately and leans against his shoulder. there's a quiet sniff that happens. it's fine. ]
Didn't really know either of them very well... but... it looks like we'll have a lot to work with tomorrow. It's a mess, but. Kyoko said that the Cold Topic was brighter than usual. That's a start.
[ he stares off into the distance for a while, ruffling his hair briefly, thinking, mulling. ]
Yeah. She showed me her photos and told me that, too. There's some overlap between evidence at the Cold Topic and the penitentiary. [ wenzhou flicks the cigarette off into the distance.
... there's only three people with photokinesis left. he doesn't want to believe that it was eiden, or hot mess. ] There was Cryokinesis ice along with an active fire, where Alex and I found Shenhe. Only two people with it, and only the three of us with Photokinesis.
[ he doesn't want to think it was anyone on his team. he hesitates. ]
It's going to be close. It'll be down to our teams... their secondaries... [ he scrubs his face a little into his shoulder for a few seconds and lets out a long, shaky breath. ] Cryokinesis... I went with Simon to the Hooters where there was a whole bunch of water...
The ice could've been Shenhe using Wolfwood's. But if it wasn't, it narrows it down to Justice.
[ photokinesis and cryokinesis on one team - it narrows it down by an awful lot, all in one shot. narrows it down to livio and amelia. he doesn't like it, either, doesn't want to put blame on anyone that they've lived with for four weeks now.
wenzhou tips his head to bonk it into the top of eiden's after he scrubs his face into his shoulder. quiet thought. ]
I do, too. [ hnghffff. ] ... she was a mess, last week, after trial. Lost. She was trying to find herself in her emotions and her grief.
She'd been learning how to be human again, and this is what she got.
