... With what we know, I think we're all expecting it.

I don't normally say this, but it would be really nice if everyone is wrong.

... It would be. But considering what they took...

[ hm. pets porridge some more ]

Not gonna bet on it.

What they took?

... Hostages.

[he hesitates, but]

Can I ask who yours is...?

... Someone from home.

[ it's not reluctant so much as just. very upset about this. ]

[after another moment, sincere]

Whoever it is - I'm really sorry.

Not like it's your fault.

[ shrugs it off!!! it's whatever!!! ]

I know, but... Kind of feels like the least I can say anyways.

From what I gathered, everyone here's in the same scenario. Not much to say about it.

...You're not very good at this, huh?

[DON'T JUST SAY IT]

[ RUDE??? he's just. >:( in response ]

It's not a bad thing.

[then maybe don't say it like that!!!!]

Didn't sound like a good thing either.

Maybe it can just be a thing!

I'm starting to think you might not be great at this either.

[gasps but it's clearly fake]

How dare you imply such a thing.

What comes around goes around.

[ so dry. ]
