[ there's just a moment's hesitation, but going in the pod should mean his throat can handle it, so he takes the soda. ]
It is shitty, and no one should have to get used to things like that. But even I am, thanks to Adonis. I'm just not used to it being people I actually know.
...There's really no way to stop it from happening again? We just have to wait and see?
[ tilting their head a little, popping open their own and taking out a collapsible straw from a pocket in their jacket. ]
... And we're really not sure. At this point... we're trying to find the route cause, but everything's showing up blank. [ fitting the straw under their helmet. ] Starting to think Harley's right... like we're being haunted or something.
They're a terrorist group that got Shinjuku locked down. They've been killing people once a month for a while now.
[ but again... no one he's known. having such a direct connection to the victims or killers is new and horrifying. ]
Even with the nanites? Everyone's been suggesting it's some kind of malfunction... But I guess being haunted makes about as much sense as anything else.
[ watches them in silence for a second. ]
Wouldn't it be easier to just take the helmet off to drink...?
[ they are thinking, because that's very scary anyways. a terrorist group that just does this once a month just feels like an elongated version of this. christ. ]
Even with the nanites... I promise you that one.
[ watch in silence, it's fine. eventually, though... (¬_¬) on their face. ]
[ that's perhaps one thing they can be super fucking grateful for! ]
It's supposed to be for "professionalism."
[ siiiiiip and then pause. ]
Adrastea... did their helmet come off for some reason? [ they know that you all were SHUNTED INTO ADVENTURE so they continue: ] Was it during the mission...?
...Then I won't, either. Still, it kind of sucks you guys always have to wear those just because of a contract. You're gonna be stuck like that for two months... You'd think they'd want you guys to be comfortable.

It would be. [ (-_-) ] But contract...
[ uncertainty as they trail off softly. ]

Damn it. Then there's still something we're missing. I wish I were better with stuff like this...
[ alas he is but a high school student getting distracted by emoji. ]
What kind of dumb stipulation is that? Why would they put that in? [ ... ] Wait, Adrastea-san's not going to get in trouble, is she?

[ nods. ]
When they came to get us out of there, their helmet was off. It looked like they might've been hurt, too, but they still took care of us first.

[ but just nods slowly ]
I think that's okay... it falls under emergencies... Probably. I'm not telling, so.
