week 5, friday

[digestif]

[ not long after the bodies are announced, Mizuki goes to seek out Connor. They're working together now, after all - they owe it to him to share the information they have. And they feel badly for him. Foolish, perhaps, considering that he's an android, but they know that he and Zoe were friends, however that word might be defined for him. ]

Connor-kun. [ their attitude is more somber than usual when they approach. ] I'm sorry about Zoe.

Even if they're cool and collected... Excluding myself, everyone left here is capable of human emotion. If it's Strung Red, you would feel a trace of something at bare minimum.

["""Human emotion""".]

[ he's still on about that, as expected. They raise an eye at his pointed exception, but don't make mention of it. That's a battle they don't feel like fighting with him. ]

I know, Connor-kun - it was a joke. [ THEY PROBABLY SHOULDN'T BE TRYING TO JOKE WITH THE ANDROID... it just comes naturally. ] In any case, I wanted to let you know about it ahead of the trial so you don't get surprised. I'd rather not be suspected as a child killer.

[Oh.]

I apologize. I didn't realize.

[It completely flew over his head. Maybe in part to his current mood, but 90% of it was still due to him being oblivious to the little details.]

Thank you for your honesty. I'll see to it that the others understand what happened when the time comes to check for injuries. [A beat, and. Hm.] In the meantime, please be sure to take proper care of your injuries... Though I believe Ray and Jude had most of our medical supplies.
