[he nods.]

I haven't heard people talk about them, so I don't think many people know yet.

[specialdog]

I'm sure it's dangerous to out yourself as someone with that kind of power. The corruption would go straight for your throat!

[nonbelligerent]

That's true. It's dangerous to be useful.

[specialdog]

But then that also means that someone with a power could be killed by coincidence, and if no one knows what they had, we won't know that we've lost it.

That's rough, too.

[nonbelligerent]

Yes. At the very least, losing whoever was given the partnership ability in the present week will always be a concern.

Good job with the second partnership, though.

[specialdog]

[ Hm. She's a little startled, but. ]

Ehehe, I didn't really do anything.

[nonbelligerent]

You played a part in it, and because of that, two lives were saved. No need to be modest.

[specialdog]

Who'd you find out from? This makes me a little worried for my friends.

[ Her friends being the people she did the escape room with. After all, one of them already died... They're. Definitely friends! Yeah?! Sure! ]

[nonbelligerent]

Lune. I asked about the second partnership and he told me that it was given by "accomplishing tasks against the instability that dwells within the gateways."

Don't worry, he wasn't allowed to confirm any details past that. It was only obvious because I'd already spoken to you.

[specialdog]

That's a relief! I know Lune-san would never put us in danger.

[ honestly at this point just this part of the image sums up most of Akane's cr. ]

[akane sTOP]

I take it it's not something you want people talking about?

[specialdog]

Mm, I just worry about everyone, you know? If someone finds out we left something useful with North, they might target her. The same for Four, or for me.

It might have already happened to Nana.

[nonbelligerent]

Do you think the first aid kit was a part of it at all?

[specialdog]

I don't know. But she had it, and then she turned up dead, and the first aid kit got all messed up.

[nonbelligerent]

It's true that it's a worrying coincidence at best, if potentially something more ominous.

North and Four seem as though they have some means of defending themselves, at least. What about you?

[specialdog]

Welllll, I've got that thing from the puzzle box, thanks to you.

[ a box-cutter??? it's fine, don't worry about it ]

[nonbelligerent]

Hopefully, you'll never have to use it.

[specialdog]

Hopefully. I'd really have to be pushed into a corner to try and use it as a weapon...

[nonbelligerent]

Have you carved any figurines with them, at least?

[specialdog]

Mm-hmm! I made one to put outside my house.

[nonbelligerent]

Really? I think I'm a little jealous of Milla.

[specialdog]

[ A kinder person might offer to make him a simple door sign or something, but. ]

It's a good idea, right? It's easier to tell them all apart with stuff like this.

[nonbelligerent]

Do you have issues with people trying to enter your house?

[does hisoka try to break into your house too—]

[specialdog]

[ wh....... no...... are you okay shess ]

Not really. But it's also nice to feel like you're in control of your own space, you know?

[nonbelligerent]

[he's fine, everything's fine]

That's true, especially given how long we've been here.
