[Sayaka makes the frankly foolish decision to look over at Jordi, her steps shaky and walking closer despite the fact that she knows this is a bad idea.
...]
Oh--oh my god, excuse me--
[...SHE'S JUST GONNA GO OFF TO THE SIDE FOR A MOMENT AFTER THAT, UH. THIS IS DIFFERENT THAN THE MONSTERS IN NEKIYA, WHAT THE FUCK--]
[ soujuurou understands that feeling well. he’ll give her some time as mcgillis picks up the body and yoon goes through his issues, but after a few minutes he’ll go to her. ]
Sayaka. I’m sorry, but…we need to go. I can carry you if you’re not up for running.
[ because a girl sobbing alone when they called for help is just too weird to not rouse suspicion. ]
[All Sayaka wants to do after this is curl up on her bed, truly. Maybe get something back in her system after...all of that, but Soujuurou's words are grounding. She doesn't even say anything about the use of her first name, because it at least gets her attention and...
When she looks up, her gaze is...quite blank, and she doesn't even look like she's sobbed despite the clear fact that she's cried. It's strange, really, but...]
...I'd appreciate it. Thank you, Shizuki-kun.
[...Her words are blank too, but let's get the fuck out of here after the funeral.]
The second she gets any sort of brainpower back she is going to be embarrassed to hell and back but Sayaka winds up nodding her head mechanically, climbing onto him without much of a word and wrapping her arms around so she can support herself a bit.
Physical contact isn't so bad at this moment, at least.]
...Thank you. I owe you something good for dinner when we're out of here.
[ despite the situation, soujuurou smiles, and even chuckles at the suggestion. as soon as she’s adjusted, he breaks out on a light jog surprisingly effortless despite his exhaustion.
his expression settles back down to something more neutral though, as he continues the jog. ]
I fear that this is probably my fault. I should have told everyone to stop attacking earlier— but I didn’t. Even I attacked him.
[Both Sayaka and Yoon's reactions just make their circumstances all the more real. The person they were meant to save from themself is dead.
Arven can't find it in himself to move. His limbs suddenly feel like they're made of lead. He just leans heavier into Mabosstiff for support, burying his face into his fur in an attempt to shield himself from the sight of Jordi's lifeless body.]
[ he doesn’t know if mabosstiff can understand him. animals aren’t supposed to talk or understand human speech (though robin has somewhat proven him wrong), but he does believe that they can understand intentions. ]

[ he’ll step in front of her, kneeling down so that she has easy access to climb on his back. ]
I’m pretty good at running, so climb on and hold on tight.

Arven. We have to go. People are coming and we can’t be seen with a corpse near us.
[ society is full of rules that are confusing for someone like him— but he’s quick to adapt. they can’t stay here. ]
We’ll have all the time to mourn him once we’re at a safe space.
[ thank god mcgillis taught him a new word. ]

...Right.
[Don't worry, Soujuurou, Mabosstiff will make sure Arven gets back.]
