Like...the less that you know, the safer it is so you don't trip people up? [he's stupid for a whole other reason.]

Then you know that she was on one of the teams that needed to keep going to, uh, complete our mission. [is that how they think? sure. that's the gist he got from the execution itself.] It wasn't exactly like she chose to kill Chiron just for fun, right?

[lecarre]

[Ange looks at him thoughtfully for a moment, before she casts her eyes back to the town around them.]

Does that make a difference?

[reconnective]

To me, yes. To others, I can't say. [he's not sure he wants to say, actually. speaking for everyone else sounds like something that won't help them right now.]

There's a difference in the type of person who does what has to be done and the type of person who acts only for selfish reasons. [though...] But what do you think about it? No difference?

[lecarre]

In most cases, the life is still extinguished, and there is no going back. If the outcome is the same, I am not so certain such judgments should be so easily made.

[Ange slides her gaze to the sky next.]

Though it does not matter now. It may not have ever mattered, in truth. Philosophy has done nothing for us here.

[reconnective]

[he'll glance at the sky as well.]

...that's not always true, Ange. There are some cases where the heart isn't completely lost and people can bring them back. I guess that's why I'm asking. They may be gone for now, but it's not always the end.

[...] If given the option, do you think she would have wanted to live after this week?

[lecarre]

[...the fuck kind of world do you live in, Sora?

Anyway, she just huffs at that.]

Of course she would have. Dorothy had goals to return to as well, just as I do. She did not go into this week intending to die.

[reconnective]

[haha maybe ange should ask him sometime.

but he...just sort of bows his head a little.]

Yeah, that's what I thought. I'm just sorry it didn't work out the way it was supposed to. [not that it's worth lamenting, but...it's still a sentiment he has to express here.] It's why we have to try even harder now to bring them back from that other side of the Realm.

[lecarre]

[She's quiet for a long moment at that, before she just nods.]

Correct. It is now time to focus on the future and what must be done from here.

If we intend on bringing the others back, we must survive first and foremost.

[reconnective]

We've survived this long, so that's a start. It's more than we've managed to do the last however many cycles. [it helps. it's also interesting to see ange be this pragmatic, but...regardless of whoever she is and whatever she may think, he's curious to know.]

So what do you think the next step is? How do we go forward from here?

[lecarre]

... We see what comes, and make plans from there. Planning ahead is all well and good, but we have no way of knowing what tomorrow will bring.

Assess the situation, gather information, and act. Those are the steps we must take, whatever may come.

[reconnective]

Yeah, I think I'm done planning for a while. Most of them don't work out the way they're meant to anyway. [...which is its own issue.]

Have you spoken to your teammates yet about any new information you guys might've gotten? Or are you acting alone?

[lecarre]

That isn't really any of your concern, considering you are not a teammate of mine.

[...still.]

But I do not intend on working wholly alone, not while the option to cooperate is on the table.

[If it, like, still is. She's not sure anymore, it's fine.]

[reconnective]

Considering I know your entire team, it's sort of a concern. And what should it matter if we're not on the same one? There's only half of us left that maybe teams don't even matter so much anymore.

...but I'm glad to hear that. I don't think anybody should be working alone now even if they could.

[lecarre]

[Hm.]

I do not think they matter any longer. Presumably, all of the necessary killing has been done, and now there are only those who remain.

My goals are still in line with everyone else's, presumably.

[reconnective]

Presumably. [it's echoing what she says, but he hums in thought.]

What are your goals now, Ange?

[lecarre]

To survive, bring back those we've lost, and return home.

[PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD, HONESTLY.]

[reconnective]

Okay. Then no more presumably stuff. We're all working on the same side here. [...though.]

She'll be back sooner than you know it.

[lecarre]

[a pause.]

... I do not know who you are talking about, or what you are trying to say.

Regardless, for now the main thing you should focus on is yourself, and what is sure to come soon enough.

[reconnective]

...[he meant dorothy, and it seems like he's debating if he wants to tell her something else, but...well, never mind.]

I know what my priorities are, don't worry. [but he looks down to the ground again from their place on the roof.] Guess we'll find out more tomorrow. We can go from there.

[lecarre]

[Ange just nods simply at that, because, well. It's true. Until they find out what comes next, there isn't much they can do.

Today, and yesterday, and this week... they've all simply solidified things Ange has always already known.]

Yes, that sounds sensible enough.

[...]

When the time comes, do not hesitate to do what you think you must do.

[reconnective]

I won't. [and then, a moment later:] I haven't. Everything we've done up until now has come from a choice we had to make. So...no going back.

[...and yet...well. there's always time to digest that later.]

Planning to stay up here much longer?

[lecarre]

[She listens to that quietly before she simply nods.

And then:]

Yes.

This is my new room. It was assigned to me five minutes ago.

[........... obviously uh. that's a lie.]

[reconnective]

[hmmm.]

Well. You've got a great view. I'm almost jealous.

[the most unfortunate part is that even with her real personality coming into play he's not that bothered.]

[lecarre]

[this is extremely unfortunate, sora, no]

It is all right. I've seen worse views.

[...]

I have a question for you.

[reconnective]

[he doesn't comment on that, but it's something he keeps in mind.]

What sort of question?
