Yeah. Taichi bought a copy, too. [ ... ] On top of all the other compulsion stuff, it makes sense, but...

[ but, also, it's stupid and he hates it ]

[steelo]

But it fucking sucks.

[ dw he'll finish that sentence for you ]

[ghoststrums]

... Yeah.

[ tired. annoyed. making a rice ball with aggression ]

We'll figure this out.

[steelo]

[ mood!!! that was the whole point of this exercise!!! ]

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

[ghoststrums]

... Right. For everyone's sake, we have to work as hard as we can to figure everything out.

[steelo]

Yeah.

[ 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.

[ghoststrums]

... I don't know, either. [ he stops shaping the riceball for a second to just stare at them ] But if he really is the one who did two, then...

[steelo]

[ he's quiet, for a moment, gritting his teeth, just thinking about it.

...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. ]

[ghoststrums]

[ ... he brushes some rice out of his hands before he lays one on ichiro's upper arm, squeezing a bit ]

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.

[steelo]

[ 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.

[ghoststrums]

Yeah. [ he sounds sure, and serious ] And we will break through that wall. Trust me.
