[ She isn't okay. She really, really isn't because she feels like an idiot twice over. Everyone's pointed out again and again she isn't thinking or arguing right or whatever, and then Newt happened, and she isn't okay.

She shrugs lightly, a weak and feeble gesture instead of her usual flippant. ]

I'll be okay eventually.

[selfimmolates]

I, for one, cannot wait until Monday when all these curses wear off.

... But you were friends with Newt, I take it.

[symphonise]

I... related to him. With music, and... how his world was being taken over by aliens. It was weird how similar things were. I should've known better.

[ She looks down at her hands, as if they would've told her the answers. ]

[selfimmolates]

It wasn't necessarily a complete lie. Just—that it sucks that he kind of turned out to be shitty, huh?

[symphonise]

[ She laughs, but it's devoid of any mirth. ]

Yeah, it really sucks. He's said some things to me... and it should've raised some red flags, but I decided to trust him. I...

[ She throws her hands up. ]

Well, whatever! He's going to be smote, so whatever.

[selfimmolates]

... You and Yu just need to. Give each other a hug or something.

[symphonise]

[ That is perhaps the most concerning and cursed thing Ray has said to Nonon to date that of course she's compelled to say: ]

Maybe I should.

[ But worry does creep into her voice, and her brows crease. ]

These last two trials have been especially rough on him.

[selfimmolates]

Between Ai's death and Majima cutting off his finger, he's probably pretty traumatized right now, yeah.

[symphonise]

[ She sighs. ]

He cares too much.

[ She doesn't say it like it's the worst thing, but... you know. It's not hard to see he's struggling. ]

[selfimmolates]

Yeah, basically.

[symphonise]

[ She crosses her arms and stares him down even though he's taller than she is. ]

And how are you holding up?

[selfimmolates]

I didn't get cursed, and none of my friends so far secretly turned out to be serial killers, so not too bad?

[symphonise]

[ That actually gets something like a genuine laugh out of her.

She clasps her hands behind her back. ]

You showed a couple of your cards today. I'm sure you already know people will flock to you for one reason or another. Still not too bad?

[selfimmolates]

I'll find a way to handle it.

[symphonise]

I know you can. I don't doubt your capabilities. Age is only a number, but...

[ She's a little worried. Just a tiny bit. ]

You also care a lot.

[selfimmolates]

What.

[symphonise]

I didn't stutter. You might not care about everyone in the way that the bowl cut does, but the things you do care about?

You care deeply.

[ She raises her eyebrows at him. Is she wrong? ]

[selfimmolates]

[uggggh]

... Shut up.

[symphonise]

[ The look in her eyes softens for a moment. ]

Okay.

[ Tonight, she gives him a break. ]
