week 4, saturday
[ they're not gone for long, at least - they go back to find Majima very soon, if only because they're afraid of what else he might end up doing to himself if they leave him alone. Newt's in the parlor, and they'd rather not deal with him, so it's back to the cottage again. It'll be here for a few more days, anyway; they may as well enjoy the actual bed while they have it.
In truth, today was a great success for Mizuki, at least as far as the trial went. Logically speaking, they should be pleased; they're safe, they caught at least one of the people causing trouble every week, and the competition is thinning out more and more, with one of the most troublesome gods gone and another down to almost nothing. They're getting closer to their goal. Nothing else really matters to them, in the end. Still, it's hard to feel victorious about anything at all when they think about what happened to Majima today. The entire trip back, they're deep in thought, brewing up what they should say to him.
They don't really come up with anything good enough by the time they're back inside. ]
... Majima-kun. [ a beat. ] Sorry. I should have done a better job keeping you out of trouble.

[ he almost reaches for their hand, but this time, something prevents him from doing so. at the same time, it almost looks like something's causing him physical pain to say this, but he can't help by let the following slip out, ]
. . . Sorry for bein' like this.
[ god, he can't wait until monday. ]

You'll be better soon.
[ Mizuki can figure out some way to heal him up, and the curses won't last. Everything else... they'll work on it. They give him a solid pat on the chest, then back off again; one gloved hand dips into a pocket somewhere in their jacket, and they retrieve what appears to be a pill bottle, albeit a little different in shape. "Futuristic," one might say. They set it on the table with a note of finality. ]
If you need it. Dissolve two in water, and they'll knock you out for a while. This stuff is pretty strong, so don't overdo it, all right? [ they push their hair back over their shoulders. ] I need a long shower. You go get some rest.
