[The initial swarming Ange stayed away from--she didn't feel like she could really assist very well at all.
But!
She goes to find Sora after, when she thinks he won't be quite so covered in rightfully concerned people.]
Um... Sora? Are you there?

[on the bright side, sora has squirreled himself away in his room for the time being. on the downside, ange's call seems to go unanswered. it's almost as if he can't hear her...?
but it isn't long before the door opens and it seems like he has all the intention in the world to go somewhere else before he stops and sees her.]
Ange. [he seems surprised...? but he greets her with a smile anyway.] Hey. Everything okay?
[he is the last person who should be asking this given he's still covered in burns, but sure, okay.]

[they can be surprised together.]
Well...[he can't really deny it is the thing and he settles for rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly.] It wasn't as bad as it could've been, I guess. We made it out okay. [he also says this but he's still not really moving his right arm thanks to the bigger burn on it, so maybe he cannot be trusted here.]

I think I'm okay for now. I was just...[...well. he wasn't sure where he was going, so he kind of settles for fumbling for an excuse before he steps to the side a bit.] Wanna come in for a bit? Elsa's not here right now.
[he doesn't mind her company at all, and he's more likely to be honest about things in the safety of his own room. pod. thing.]

I don't mind at all. [come in!! also don't mind the sword that's just propped up against a wall? surely that's fine.] We're friends, right? I'm always happy to spend time with you whenever you want.
[even if he's half-dead right now.]
[even if he's half-dead right now.]
[... sometimes you need a sword?? She does stare at it for a moment, before she looks back at him with her lips pursed.]
... Sora... yes of course we are friends. And I am very grateful to hear that, truly, it's just...!
Right now, I am worried about you. You look terrible... what happened to you?

[...do their rooms even have other furniture anymore, I can't remember, it's probably just their pods which means he's sitting down on the floor so ange can sit in his pod. he's not rude enough to make her sit on the ground.]
...to be honest, I'm still not really sure. It's a really long story, but...I think we went somewhere else inside someone else's memory, maybe. Or a place with a lot of disturbances. [maybe. he can't decide if any of it was for real or not, but the injuries sure are real.]

Yes. [now that she's on the ground, she can unfortunately see that he still has little acid burns on his legs, fire burns on his arms and a large, weird kind of burn on his arm.
but he seems to think on something for a moment.]
Ange, have you heard about the reason we can reach space now?

Ange, have you heard about the reason we can reach space now?
[that's okay, neither does he. curaga spells can't exist here.]
Yeah. I asked Swan when I met them in town this week. They said that the Realm's, like, bringing us to places where the nova's been disturbed before. But they're not totally whole? They're like a memory. That's why we haven't seen any other people since we got here even though everything else looks pretty in-tact.

I think it's unrelated. I asked one of the other leaders for clarification later and that's kind of the sense I got. The bridge sort of acts like a gateway to other worlds. So...we're probably going to see another world next week.
Yeah. I wish we kind of had an idea of what's coming but it sounds like it's beyond the leaders' control, too.
[there's a smile then.] I think I'm okay. The burns aren't so bad...or at least they feel better.

...[normally he would say he's fine and he can take care of it, but somehow when ange says it he actually feels an iota of guilt about it. thank you ange.]
I will. I know that all of us have to take care of ourselves and each other right now. Nothing's the same. But...you would tell me if you needed help too, wouldn't you?

Yeah. [there's a smile.] Especially right now. We don't know what's going to happen in the next couple of days, so all we can do is make sure people can support each other and nobody's going to be alone.
I don't know what I would have done if I didn't trust Alex. We would have been stuck together without a clear way out and it would have been much harder. But I know that's not easy for everybody else.

Maybe. But I think with a little patience people will start to get comfortable with each other. [mostly because people are dying and they won't have a choice.]
...[he just looks kind of embarrassed, but pleased.] We have to stay positive in times like these. If the nova's really attracted to us and emotions we feel, maybe we can turn this thing around with something better.
