Public Apology

[pet_moonrabbit]

I'm sorry. I caused a lot of problems recently...

... I know I wasn't myself, but... still, I... I thought I could trust her.

...

And now she's dead, huh...? I wonder if there could have been another way...

... I'm so tired...

*Eirin hugs Reisen.*

... I'm sorry, Reisen.

[pet_moonrabbit]

... *hugging Eirin back*

I... I should be apologizing to you... I-I'm the one that...

[yagokoro_eirin]

No. If I had came with you against Jesse, you wouldn't have been infested in the first place. Letting you go alone... I thought it was the right thing to let you prove your strength, but instead...

[pet_moonrabbit]

... but I'm the one that... that actually helped Kerrigan... even before I was infested...

... I helped her find the bank to bring out the swarm... gave her a healing potion when she was hurt...

And in the end... she...

[yagokoro_eirin]

No, Reisen.

You did what was right at the time. You didn't realize she would or could do what she did. None of us had a clue of her ability to infest others like that... Or that she'd willingly do so.

[pet_moonrabbit]

...

I feel like there was something I should have noticed, though... maybe there was... and I just didn't...

[yagokoro_eirin]

... You mustn't doubt yourself, Reisen. None of us could have caught on to Kerrigan's intentions until she was well into them. None of us could realize what she was doing.

You then managed to prove her weaknesses, and ultimately, as a result, set things up for her fall. That is an achievement few could claim...

... Especially compared to what I was like...

[pet_moonrabbit]

Mm...

[yagokoro_eirin]

*Eirin hugs Reisen tighter.*

Now, more than ever, I need you at your best, Reisen... As a research partner, and potentially as a soldier.

We have lives to repair, and who knows how much time to do them in...

[pet_moonrabbit]

Y-yeah...

*she just sounds... tired*

[yagokoro_eirin]

... For now, though...

*Eirin used LIFT on Reisen!*

*Eirin used THROW on Bed!*

You're getting some decent rest to make sure the drugs get fully into effect. I'll need to do the same. Tomorrow, we'll quickly get all the Zerg physiology out of you.

[pet_moonrabbit]

A-ah...

*thrown on the bed*

[yagokoro_eirin]

*Reisen, the bed shakes a bit as you land on it... Somehow, with no intervening events, your clothes have been swapped for your typical pajamas, and you're under the covers.*

... So that's how that trick works.

[pet_moonrabbit]

Huh...?!

[yagokoro_eirin]

Just something I heard from some local demons at the shop. It's just one of those Netherworld things, it's not like the beds are possessed, but you throw someone onto one, they end up under the covers.

Which reminds me, tomorrow I'm going to go bribe my way to getting a decent shopkeep, so I don't have to worry about it as much.

[pet_moonrabbit]

U-uhm... okay... *is a bit frazzled by the bed thing still*
