[impacter]

If any of the Peridots die, we shall make a new dorm PC (unless the dead, idk, become ghosts or something).

[P seems less shaken, but that doesn’t mean he’s not upset about all that’s happened. Still, he doesn’t expect everyone to react the same way, and he pipes up, simply-]

Are you okay?

[ Being asked this again makes Ainosuke feel on edge. He is not meant to show vulnerabilities and his body is betraying him by making them plain to see for others.

... which means that he'll compensate, so his face just lights up with a smile. ]

Thank you for the consideration, but I'll be alright, truly. This was a lot to take in, wasn't it?

[heartstringless]

[Hm. Pinocchio can't help but wonder if he wants to take that at face value or not, given all that's happened, but maybe he won't push for now.]

Yeah. I've seen a lot of bad things happen to a body... but not like that.

[Don being so... pulled apart. Like petals shorn from a rose. He'll be thinking about that for a while now.]

[fullswingkiss]

It should not be possible, not where I'm from.

[ The rules of the normal world, familiar and unshakable all his life, now need to be cast off entirely. Neither this building, nor the people, nor the violence make any sense. ]

As far as displays of all-encompassing love and ownership go, it was effective.

[ Somewhat beautiful, too, but he keeps that to himself. ]

[heartstringless]

Love...? That looked like love to you?

[All-encompassing... love? Is he missing something here?]

[fullswingkiss]

[ Yes. Absolutely, completely. A love that will only accept perfection because it only wants the best for you. That's what God is to Ainosuke. ]

I'm certain that's what He would call it.

[heartstringless]

[A cruel parent.]

...Maybe.

I think at some point, though, even "love" can turn into something bad. Maybe it shouldn't ever be that all-encompassing, as you put it.
