Anna was sitting in the study when Machi went to find her, brows furrowed in thought as she stared at the mess of papers strewn over the desk before her. She had spent.... she didn't know how long on these designs. So many blueprints were needed. She had to map out and design and visualize every single aspect of this thing, and be able to accurately keep it all in her head, or else this plan wouldn't work at all.... It was ridiculous and absurd and she wondered how the hell Brill had done it. All of this planning, just to build something.... It was mercilessly exacting, incredibly daunting, and rather draining. The execution it demanded had to be simply flawless

Fffff best wakeup surprise ever.

Machi peered around the doorframe, managing to look somewhat surprised when he actually found her, starting slightly, his pale blue eyes widening. Then he relaxed a little--but not much, giving her something that might have passed for a nervous smile... or maybe it was just an involuntary slant of the mouth, it was so difficult. From the way he'd turned the corner, however, most of his left side was fairly visible... including a pale, childishly proportioned arm and its small corresponding hand, gripping the hem of his shirt tightly.

"...hello." His voice was typically unchildish in tone, however, if not in timbre--there was something inherently void and inflectionless in Machi's speech, buried confusingly under the heavy accent. He was more anxious and tense than usual, and it showed, but the explanation for the most part dwelled far from his conscious mind.

... mostly.

He didn't like asking things from people, and it felt wrong to do so to Anna, but he didn't think he had a choice.
