There's a lot of wind outside- Windy nights. I wonder what importance they have

Things happen even after they're condemned. That's faulty logic.

Tried. And I already sleep a lot; even then I think about things.

( Voice )

[penetrable]

[...Oh.] Then what?

I can't exercise. I don't really know any mindless tasks.

[killswithapen]

Low pressure meeting high pressure, Yoite. That's why it seems to make your head pound.

You have a very bleak outlook on life, don't you?

[penetrable]

There's already so much of that. There usually is.

[But then, sort of startled,] I didn't think of it as bleak.

[killswithapen]

It is bleak. Just because it 'happens everywhere' doesn't mean that something shouldn't be done about it. Equally, if it will just 'keep happening no matter what'. Much of the idea of policing is to present the idea that if you do do it, then you'll get caught and punished -- to dissuade people from ruining their own lives with crime.

[penetrable]

I was always taught to put punishment before dissuasion. It doesn't make sense to dissuade.

[Not saying anything, but nearby. He probably looks like an Eskimo. There's a huge quilt swallowing him up; a floating face in a plush blanket. There's no so-ugly-it's-cute puppy doggy snorting and wiggling at his feet. Odango is hiding under blankets in the middle of the bed.]

[penetrable]

[Yoite doesn't say anything for a while, either. But then he looks up at the bed, at Miharu, and he frowns somewhat. His arms are wrapped more tightly around himself.]

You're really cold?

[torporheart]

[Small nod.] It's pretty cold, yeah? [Momentary quiet.] Will you sit with me?

[penetrable]

Mm.

[He tries not to hesitate, but he's self-conscious. He does stand, though, and nears the bed.]

I'll sit with you.

[mentis_reae]

Such acts are always deserving of attention, no matter the targets.

[voice]

[penetrable]

I knew you'd say something similar, but most people aren't like you.

[voice]

[mentis_reae]

I don't think that's true.

[voice]

[penetrable]

You've probably met more people than me, but that's how it's usually been, in my experience.

[linkthismemory]

Stop yourself from thinking?

[Audio]

[penetrable]

Yeah. A clearer head.
