... So long as they can deal enough to work together when we need it, there's not much to do about this.

Do you believe that they will be able to?

... Some of them.

[a long, tired sigh.]

...'some' will have to be enough.

... We can't expect everyone to get along in the first place. So long as it doesn't derail us, we'll have to accept what happens from now on.

So we do. And those who cannot work with each other, we may deal with as necessary.

What, like a time out corner?

I'll pick them up myself if I must.

... Well, you've got the height to get all of them.

And I shall not hesitate to do so, I assure you.

Well, that's one less thing to worry about.

One on a very long list of other things to continue worrying over.

...but none that we can do anything about now, I suppose.

... There's not a lot of things we can do anything about in general.

[ it's frustrated. why can this never just be a boss fight ]

It was similar in the Prism, where things only became clear much later, but-- it makes it no easier to deal with, regardless.

There's no telling if things will become any clearer here. If we're making the right steps for it.

There is not, no, and the things we have been discovering are--

Difficult to work with, at best.

That's one way to put it. [ tiredly. he is so tired. ] I still need to see what they got this week.

As do I. I haven't yet had the time to speak with any of them of it; I've only seen mine, and Estelle's.

[ there's a beat ]

You might wanna ask Sheila what she plans to do with hers before tomorrow.

...oh. Oh, she is the last, isn't she.

[he rubs at his face, exhaling, and mutters-]

It feels somewhat ill-advised to go to a woman on the eve of her probable death to ask her for information.

[like, he'd do it, but he has at least, you know

enough understanding to know it may not go great]

Probably more ill-advised not to remind her she's the one who has the physical copy. Sebastian's the last, and he's seen it, but he's...

[ ........ anyway ]

Anyway, she has the original. We probably shouldn't let it be lost forever in general.

-right, him.

[I HATE EMET-SELCH]

Well. It is reasonable, but I certainly hope she sees it that way as well.

... Maybe start with condolences and go from there.

[silence, for a few moments.]

...We have never spoken much. But I shall try.

... Good luck.

[ cloud could volunteer to ask. he won't. ]
