I know that serial killers aren't exactly going to be normal but holy shit.

[enfangs]

Well, it wasn't, like, random...

[sengokus]

I don't know if I want to hear about the reasoning? I feel like it'll be excessive no matter what it is?

[enfangs]

... I guess.

[it's a bit of a weird feeling for white, who can both acknowledge objectively that the stuff belle did was horrific but also normalized it and liked belle in a way.

because his standards for people are at the fucking bottom.]

But yeah, people can have weird feelings towards their victims. Not saying I actually believe Fukuda killed Grell or anything, though.

[sengokus]

[white people be friends with people who aren't serial killers]

.... they probably can. [he'll acknowledge that much.] But even if that's true, I don't know if I can always accept it, I guess.

[if he's being honest. but maybe that's wrong! maybe if he met someone earlier and liked them more, he would be more willing to let stuff go. that's hypocrisy, isn't it.

ah well.]

.... but that's the lead we got. I think we should just try to get a new one, if we can make progress tomorrow.

[enfangs]

[the funny thing is that they weren't even friends, belle also treated him like dirt]

Looks that way. Hopefully we're running out of psychopaths and delusional serial killers, at least...

[sengokus]

[ . . . . he pauses at that.]

I hope so.

But did you hear what Amane-san said about killing being the most productive indulgence here?

[enfangs]

[a beat.]

Who's Amane?

[mineo, white's memory for names,]

[sengokus]

Oh.

Uh... Amane Misa?

[enfangs]

[





thinks]

Oh, Blondie. Don't remember if I heard that, though. Then again, all the info kind of starts blurring at some point.

[sengokus]

Hmm... Vira-san mentioned it to me - it might've gotten lost during trial? But yeah....

That's what I heard - like always we gotta keep double-checking with the Avatars, and uh... they were a little busy yesterday. But it just makes me wonder if we might still have to keep dealing with murders even if it's not exactly people's first choice.

[enfangs]

[... a scoff.]

Gotta wonder how much any of this even counts as "indulging" anymore, if people don't actually wanna do it.

[sengokus]

[ . . . he shrugs.]

I mean... it's sins, right? So it's stuff that you arguably should feel some guilt about doing in the first place...

[enfangs]

[...

he looks distant for a moment, before shrugging.]

Well, we'll see. Depends on what this possible deeper reason is.

[sengokus]

[nodding]

We still have to figure out what happened to the Avatars who disappeared on their adventure so...

[enfangs]

Yeah. I'll try hitting up a few this weekend and see if they have anything to say.

[sengokus]

Mm, thanks.

[he nods at that]

I figure the more we try to get answered, the better.... At least it's good to know there's a couple of us branching out and trying to get to the bottom of this place?

[enfangs]

[he sighs.]

Geez, this kind of shit is really not my thing...

[sengokus]

[ . . . lmao.

mineo just throws an arm around white's shoulders again at that, giving him a smile]

That's what makes me appreciate it extra, you know?

[enfangs]

[he freezes up, before looking away awkwardly.]

I really hope that next week's effect is that no one's allowed to say anything sappy.

[sengokus]

I didn't even think that it was that bad...

You all just put the bar way too low on nice things for people to say.

[enfangs]

If it's all of us, then doesn't that make you the odd one out?

[sengokus]

Because I'm not a tsundere?

[enfangs]

Damn it, why are you still allowed to say that!?

[sengokus]

Hmmm, probably 'cause tsunderes have their own kind of appeal. It's actually pretty cute once you get to the dere part. I don't think it's insulting to be called one...
