[ sneers as a small rope of electricity curls around his arm. more than that, he seems to be buzzing with static, but he ignores that to come a little closer to shoma, watching him for just a second longer than is probably polite. ]
If anything, they owe us at least two days to try to sort it out. Not that a company is going to care that much.
I don't really give a shit about their standard protocol. [ he just comes out and says it. if he notices the staring (and he does) he does not mention it. ] ...I don't blame the senior crew. They're doing what they can do with their hands tied. But I'm getting really sick of finding new problems we have to deal with because of Nut & Bolt.
[ hello, welcome to sit. he's still in his blanket bundle, but it shifts a little and slides off of the seemingly prosthetic arm while he's turning to face kazuki better. ]
Pretty sure that's exactly what Sidon would've wanted anyway. [ so he can't really say no. ] I know that's supposed to be enough, but why doesn't it actually feel like enough sometimes?
...A little. I do wish I could've talked to them more, though. Sidon-san was just a nice guy to be around, and Ubert-san always seemed open to learning new things. I liked them both.
Could be because he's quiet. Viktor-san was too, you know? We know whoever's doing these things is being influenced somehow, so maybe... maybe it was that they didn't know him that well, and that made him an easier person to target.
...I don't like that idea, but. It's one possibility, I guess.
I don't like it either, but it does make an unfortunate amount of sense. If you have to go after someone, you pick someone you don't know. Easier to handle, and easier to take care of if something goes wrong. I don't want to assume that's how this went, but...I don't think it's wise to shy away from thinking about motivations to get us started. Especially when we can't investigate ourselves yet.
[ what kazuki doesn't say is that maybe it isn't rational like that at all. maybe it's just a name, or who happened to be in the room with them. maybe it's just bad luck. ]
It's insane that they won't let us look into things earlier. Nine hours is already so little time. They're just deliberately setting us all up for failure.
[ wrong place and wrong time. not a sentiment he's unfamiliar with, but he's ignoring that for what he thinks he knows right now. ]
There has to be a way to override their protocols and let us at least help with the initial investigation. If we're going to be doing a trial anyway, shouldn't we be going in a little more prepared?
Neither do I, but...I keep doing it anyway. We already know it's bound to be a mess, but...there has to be something we can do to make it less terrible.
Here's hoping... It's bad enough that people are dying at all, but to be controlled into being the one to kill? That's even worse. And now there might be two of them...?
The fact that there's two of them is what's worse. We need to focus on finding the trigger for this and seeing if we can stop it before it becomes...I don't know. Three next time. Or worse.

[ ugh! he plops down next to shoma. ]
All we can do tonight is focus on trying to help each other get through this.

At least we know there's not someone on this ship killing people just because they want to.
