[Eunie didn't have her other selves casting such a dark shadow. But she still wondered about them. Who they were. What they went through. The friends she made that she didn't expect to ever see again but whose memory she still held dear. But that was by her choice, not a desire to be someone she wasn't.

Even if this Eunie... was a lot weaker. She had people to rely on here, so maybe that was okay.]


Yeah, it was him that told me that. And when he did I remembered someone else saying something kinda like it. It really had me thinking, you know? It was true both times. I like to take things at face value, and you can't really get more simple than that.

Especially with how Zhongli likes to go on and on.


[She loves him, really. A short delay of her own.]

You know? It does. Thanks.

Exactly, you totally get it. No sense in getting everything muddied up if it don't need to be.

[She even fell into that string. Of dwelling on every what if possible and losing herself to fear.

She laughed to herself. Bleh, what a Taion move her brain pulled last month. If he ever showed up here he better not say shit about that or she'll have the arsehole's head. But well you tend to not be yourself when backed into a corner.]


Hey, right back at you.

[Oh he will be given shit about his sleeping no matter how sweet she was being now. The reckoning cometh, Dan Heng.]

[The call comes in unprompted. There’s an edge of strain to Kafka’s voice that’s typically absent.]

It’s Kafka. I’m sure I don’t need to tell you what this is about.

In his past life, I used my power to keep it under control. Unfortunately, we don't have that luxury here.

[She's glad, that Dan Heng is in Blade's corner. She's glad this was the case for the Trailblazer, too.]

We team up. If we're both with him, it should keep him grounded.

["Should." She doesn't know if it will work. But it's the best bet.]

I would appreciate that.

[Kafka doesn't have the full extent of her power, but she'll be able to lend a hand, at least.]

There's something else. Bladie seemed worried--he told us both to run. It might not just be the demon we have to worry about. With the three of us, I'm sure it'll be fine. Safety in numbers, after all.

[Blade tries to pretend that his eyes didn't just light up at that. He's a little pathetic and he knows it. ... But his tail is wagging. As always.]

Then we will.

[Dan Heng might be puzzled, but Blade's slight blush says everything. He glances back at Dan Heng.]

Hmm. You would have been great at it. You still could be, but...

I understand our situation doesn't make things easy. And that would be a long commute.

[Blade tilts his head when he hears that, his ears flopping a little.]

Is that so...

[There's definitely more to the story, here. He takes a long sip of his chai and finishes it as well.]

I do. Let's go, then.

[He gathers their empty cups and pops them into the recycling, and then he steps closer, his bandaged hand not-so-subtly reaching for Dan Heng's own.]

11/2 text; un: nope

[Hey, Dan Heng. You know how you just be saying shit without context in a text? Well here's context but some rando behind it. Well "rando" but he's the only asshole here with Nope as a username and he seemed to know Something as shown in the "Zodiac" post but he also saw this dude reply to Blade worried and he did not mcfreaking want to deal with Kafka, so.]

You know Blade, right?

[A delay, as he was only working with one hand right now.]

How is he?

[Geez, he knew the guy was kind of insane but goddamn. Also, "second-to-last past life"? Hello?

Know what? Not his problem.]


Right. Uh-huh. Yeah.

I'm guessing you know about his little "problem". But if he's better... that's good.

Alright. Maybe you'll get lucky and he won't lose it but if he does, get the hell away quick.

[Ragna was extremely unaware of who he was talking with and only spoke from the perspective of someone who knew how dangerous demons and spirits were.

Honestly he thinks this guy's just as out of his mind for wanting to trifle with one but they're gonna be trifling until they find a way out either way. Lose-Lose situation.]

[????????????????]

what the fu

[that's it that's the end of the text. No wonder this guy knew Blade are they both 50 shades of fucking insane??]

[...God. No wonder Blade made a memory at the back of Ragna's mind twitch. Having it spelled out just made the crazed glee echo in his mind.

A voice, from family but not. "Long time no see... BROTHER...!"
Another, from his own mouth but not. "I will NEVER forgive you...!"

Straight out of Jin's mouth... "Jin". Not this life's Jin. He was way too old. Way too confident... and the memory stemmed from so much resentment and hatred. That was not Ragna's little brother. Not "this" Ragna's little brother. But from being driven to madness to lack of communication that Ragna never considered in this life or the last it made him ache.

God, what a stupid bastard this guy. There's a delay longer than normal, he's heard enough he didn't need Dan Heng to go further lest he find how goddamn deep this rabbit hole went.]


Whatever you guys are or do in this life is your problem, not mine. If the guy's got someone around to keep his head on straight that's all I need to know.
