...not really, no. [ like. how can you be after that. ] Pissed. Confused. Upset. The more I think about it, the more angry I get, so I'm just - I'm trying not to do that.
[ and the rice ball motion is easy. shaping is easy, familiar, repetitive. something he needs, right now. ]
[ he nods... and then scoots over, making a little space. for a little bit, it's just gonna be companionable silence, as much as you can have companionable silence after you find out one of your friends is a murderer, but hey. ]
... you know how Rupert and a bunch of the others came back beat to shit, on Thursday? [ his voice stays even despite the topic, hands moving over rice. ] ...It was because they went somewhere based on my life. Mics, battles, everything. I found out about it that night.
...When I apologized to Rupert about it, 'cause - of course I did, what else do you do in a situation like that? It was my fault - The first thing he did was tell me that I didn't need to apologize to him - and that he was more worried about me, that I had to live like that all the time.
[ ... yamato knew that, since rupert told him, but he decides not to tell ichiro as much, moving to help him make rice balls in silence for a little bit. they are clearly both too used to making these. ]
... We've been tossing about the idea that these murders aren't done willingly ever since Hanayagi did it. I think this is as much proof as we need to that.
[ touchy week is good. he lets yamato do that no trouble, and ends up leaning into him a little, shoulder bumping into his. ]
Yeah. [ some of the tension fades from his shoulders - just a little. ] ... gotta play along to break through the wall, eventually. It's gonna feel good, when we take this place down.

[ it's reflexive when he spots him but hrm. he's not sure what to say. sorry about? your winter? my bad? ]
no subject
ichiro's got a big ass rice cooker full of rice in front of him. it looks like he's shaping rice balls, and he glances up when yamato addresses him.
and then huffs a little, giving him a sup nod. ] Hey, dude.
[ someone's a stress cooker. ] You hungry?
no subject
No thanks. [ he hesitates a bit ] You alright?

no subject
anyway. the plot talk is actually kind of nice. ]
...yeah. I think so, too. I keep thinking about that script. Have you seen it?
no subject
[ but, also, it's stupid and he hates it ]
no subject

We have to. And the faster we figure it out, the better.

[ ugh. he sighs, patting his hand around the riceball again. ]
I can't tell if it's worse that it might be forced, or if it's not. I don't know.
no subject

...and then shakes his head. ] Then... if he was going to act again, then he stopped. I guess there's that.
[ there's no joy to that, no sense of accomplishment in catching a killer. not like this. ]
no subject
We'll figure things out. Right now, this is all we can do, but we'll figure it out and put a stop to all of this.
no subject
Yeah. [ some of the tension fades from his shoulders - just a little. ] ... gotta play along to break through the wall, eventually. It's gonna feel good, when we take this place down.
