[when in doubt to figure out how to start a thread just use an animal

and by that i mean there's going to be a fat little squirrel wandering around the residential area of the village in the evening, scampering right up to akane and making weird little chirping noises at her

aaaand here's lili - ]

Ao? Ao, where did you go....

From:

specialdog

[ Akane is out here carving some wood to pass the time and get her mind off of... Dead birds. She doesn't even seem to be carving the wood into anything in particular.

She glances down at the squirrel, then. Up to Lili. ]

Oh. Is this yours?

From:

coastal

Akane?

[that's not who lili was expecting to see, but she'll approach]

Oh... yes. Ao, come here. [though lili will pause as she looks over to what akane is doing] ... are you alright?

From:

specialdog

It's hard to answer that...

[ So probably no? But everyone is sad on dead-days, aren't they? ]

From:

coastal

... right.

[lili can at least understand that]

Have you eaten yet today?

From:

specialdog

Mm... A little?

[ she sounds unsure. Like, does... A little bit of bread count? Hrmmm. ]

From:

coastal

[there's a frown at that]

... There's food in the kitchen. I'm going to get you some.

From:

specialdog

You don't have to do that.

From:

coastal

I don't really have to do anything in this wretched place.

[but lili will still turn to go and get the food as she said

ao, however, will pull out an acorn to offer akane in these trying times]

[ .... Thank you for this acorn, small friends. Akane takes it, but does not really seem to know? what to do with it?

Which is fair... ]

From:

coastal

[nice

ao thinks that she's done a great job and will just scamper to sit by akane until lili gets back

and when lili does get back, she's brought two plates of curry and rice, offering one to akane]

Here...

From:

specialdog

[ Akane takes it. She's... Eating a bit slow, but what can you do. ]

... Thanks.

From:

coastal

It's nothing. You just need your strength for tomorrow.

[and that will be lili's plain answer as she sits by where akane is and also begins to eat]

From:

specialdog

I don't know how much help I'll be...

[ She already knows she's going to be flustered and angry, hm. ]

From:

coastal

... just enough to move forward is fine.

[even if everything is awful

but that's what she told kazuaki too, every time that things were bad]

From:

specialdog

It's also a matter of how much I'll want to help. That depends on how cooperative other people are.

[ um? ]

From:

coastal

[that

makes lili pause for a moment]

What do you mean?

From:

specialdog

We can't make enough partnerships, this time. I don't want to help people if it isn't even going to save the people I care about.

From:

coastal

[ . . . ]

And who exactly do you care about?

[can you see the way that lili is actively forcing herself to give akane the benefit of the doubt]

From:

specialdog

Minato-kun.

[ No shame... ]

I guess there are a few ways it could go that wouldn't mean letting someone innocent die, but I don't know... I don't really have high hopes for us as a group. Not after last week.
