[Her expression is noted, but somehow this doesn't feel like the appropriate time to elaborate on films with the mystery of these photos hanging over them...?! Maybe later.]
Huh, for real? [A pause.] Then again, there were instructions about cleaning 'em off. Whoever it was could've regretted it later, I guess.
Right. Not like it'd be the first time someone regretted a fuck-up and tried to fix it.
[Most of the time, it's too late. You make your choice, and you live with it. Maybe that's the single good thing about the Neikya so far: There might just be a chance to fix these things after all.]
Guess the signs are pointing to us cleaning up the mess. [It's obvious even to her, and she is not a puzzle-solver. She blows at the longer fringe of hair draped beside her face. That's them. The fixers.]
Not the kinda job I usually take on, but if it's gonna blow up down the line, I'd rather get it over with now. Just wish we knew why all this shit is happening in the first place.
[He did yolo into this, but it's still a big, burning question that he has yet to find any answers to.]
[Kainé huffs out a breath in agreement. It's not really that she cares about getting answers, but getting this over and done? She can't think of anything she wants more.]
Whoever's leading us around like this is gonna find it real hard to keep up once my foot's up their guts.
[Let the others solve the whys and the hows. She'll focus on settling the score. But maybe, since she's already stuck in here, they'll save the girl whose life got turned into a puzzle.]
[Aaron simply snorts at her comment because frankly, he doesn't disagree at the sentiment. He can't imagine Aubrey did any of this of her own volition, at any rate. But seeing as they don't have enough information to truly speculate here anyway, he moves on to answering her question.]
Kinda. Ran into her some while doing commissions and when fighting Shadows. Not the friendliest kid, but she works pretty hard.
[Or at least, that's the impression he's gotten of her so far.]
[Kainé wordlessly looks around the attic bedroom and its attempts to plaster something nice and comfortable over a foundation that's completely broken.]
She's probably had to, [she grunts, touching the subject lightly, if only because she's realized quite suddenly that she doesn't want to dig too deeply.] This place sucks. ...I'd be pissed, too.
[Anger is something she can easily understand, no matter how Kainé sees herself as detached from the other chosen and as much as she's committed to maintaining her loner lifestyle even in this city. There's something about the dark anger carved everywhere in this "house" that calls to her.]
