[ she turns to look at him and then is hit with the same wave of frustration that hits her every time she tries to look at something and expects to just see it. ]
Blurry.
But it's a small thing, compared to everything else that's happening.
[ her forehead is probably just a tiny bit red, but it won't even last the rest of the night. rip. ]
Yes... I probably shouldn't have been one of the ones out looking for evidence, but... I think what matters the most is getting an idea of where to look, tomorrow.
...I'm gonna be honest. Most of us shouldn't be out there right now, but I agree with you. We need to know what to start looking at in trial. So I'd rather we try our best today than scramble for answers tomorrow.
I know you guys found Wang Lu, but was there anything else that stood out? [she can't see, but he's thinking if someone with at least one working eye described stuff maybe.]
I said the same thing to someone else earlier, too. That because she was guilty, we're just going to ignore it and focus on Wang Lu. But I don't think that's right. Especially when we don't actually know that it was someone doing it as a service to the rest of us.
Yeah...I do, too. It's difficult though. I get it. [...] Do you think people like Byleth and Rupert are doing what they believe is the greater good then? It's a question a lot of us are asking now.
A lot of Byleth's story didn't add up when I asked her things. I just wanted to know what we should be doing to help them and...got a vague answer that I can't even do anything with.
And now we're back at square one of not even really knowing who else might be involved.
She told me the best way to keep helping was by digging up answers like we've been doing. [so. unhelpful.] And then she started talking about energy exchanges...we were trying to understand why any of this was happening. Wishes came up.
... I wonder if some of it was not just simple encouragement. "The best thing you can do is to keep going as you have been." A long way of saying, "Don't lose hope."
Maybe. That'd be just like her. [and there's a little wave of agitation and also faint fondness there.] She's always...kind of talked to me like she believed I could figure stuff out, even if I'm not so sure myself. Must be a teacher thing.

It doesn't make it any less shitty and you know that. Does it hurt? Or is it just difficult?

I can help whenever you get tired of asserting your dominance against the furniture. I've been trying to help Yamato with his eye, too.
[mostly he only feels useful if he's doing something, so.]

Keep me from walking into doorframes, if you don't mind.

... I'm afraid I didn't see much. Mannequins and spilled things. You're better off asking Yamato or Claude.
I'm... More concerned with Byleth.
no subject
[because...fair.]
...do you think it's true? That she might've actually asked for this to happen or just accepted it?
no subject
But I don't believe that she asked for it to happen.

... I'm worried that no one will want to look into her death.

She did the same for me.
...I'm going to miss her, until we get everyone back.
