[ he doesn't like prying into people's dreams. he doesn't like it, he's never wanted to do it, but-

-- for a moment he really just can't breath, because instead of Kay's father laying there dead from a stab wound, it's his father and the blade is in his hands and he's really sorry oh god. (Suzaku has to get up and excuse himself from watching the rest of it, has to run to the bathroom and nurse the metaphorical punch to the stomach he took.)

he returns shortly to finish it (can't leave a job half-finished), watches Kay accept her badge, sees himself in the Britannian military, and invests in partial time to stop thinking. stop. and then, slipping it onto the couch next to him, pushing the blankets covering him to the side.

quickly turning the video function on, he schools his expression to something more neutral and- ] Kay. Are you alright?

[ he wants to ask. he really wants to ask, but it's private and the chance that he'll be asked something about his own father is high. Suzaku isn't sure he's ready to tell anyone of what

[Kay blinks. She's a little okay, less shaken and more awake.]

I'm fine...it was only a dream.

[perfektioniert]

[Though usually the perfect picture of composed calm, Franziska looks the slightest uneasy.]

Are you having difficulty sorting through your real memories and the lies that this city has implanted in our heads?

[dedikayted]

[She shakes her head.] Not really...I still know my dream was about what happened here...when I was working in the FBI with you and Mr. Edgeworth and everyone else...

[perfektioniert]

Good. [The young woman's voice may sound a little more steely than normal, but only because she is having difficulty with her own alternate life memories.]

There is little use in staying so foolishly fixated on the past. [More to herself than to Kay, perhaps?] It is very fortunate that you are not a fool like the rest of the residents in this city.

...But you were quite the competent employee, for the record.

[dedikayted]

You're right.

...And thanks. You were amazing too, Miss von Karma.

[monkeyflirt]

Are you sure?

[dedikayted]

...Yes, I'm sure. [NOT.]

[It's all a little confusing right now but Beat knew exactly how it felt to lose someone close and important in a similar manner. Not his own parent but someone of even greater value to him. He's unsure of what to say at first but the most obvious one is what comes out his mouth.]

Yo, you aight there?

[dedikayted]

Yeah. I'm fine. [And she does try to look the part.]

[gangstaspeak]

[And that's exactly what he used to do, too.]

...S'gotta be tough seein' somethin' like that.

[dedikayted]

Hmmm...yeah, I guess it is. [That's all she has to say.]

[spectaculaire]

...Kay?

[dedikayted]

Yeah, Tamaki?

[spectaculaire]

Are you all right? That looked like a rather unsettling...dream. [he wasn't sure if it was a memory or not since he recognized a few things from that 1920s week. yet he had seen a number of dreams where both fused together.]

[dedikayted]

I'm...I'm okay. It was only a dream, right?
