[NO MORE SUDDEN SUNDAY GOATS PLEASE. The statement has his brow furrowing, though.]
You were, yeah. Some people were starting to look your way.
[He noticed but he was also too busy grilling a set of clothing for its secrets in the last half hour to send too much focus that way, when things were already closing in on Atsushi.]
[ In the dirt, if not below that. She won't have her emotions tank like that anymore. She didn't think things could've gotten worse for her last week, and yet it somehow did. ]
What do you think, Kiyomitsu? Now that you aren't turning Atsushi's clothes inside out.
[Said with a little sigh, though. As for her question, his brow furrows a little. His emotions are mostly level, though; not much concern or suspicion there.]
I dunno, but I don't think it's you. You're not acting super weird.
[And it's emotionshare week so EVEN GOOD ACTORS CAN'T HIDE. Presumably. Maybe they can and he's booboo the fool and it really is her and he'll be one of the last two remaining Metallics, damn.]
[ It is only mildly pleasantly surprised or else. ]
My emotions aren't going haywire. That's true.
[ Her vibes are cool and composed. It'd be wild in this game of emotions going full tilt when compelled that I wouldn't throw that into the mix if Roxana murdered because of that. ]
[THE BAR'S IN THE CRUST OF THE EARTH ROXANA. He'd probably be more amused about it if he wasn't so damn tired.
anyway i aki am squinting but Kashuu seems pretty sure of his thoughts that Roxana is not a killer, so he just hums. The vibes are a little displeased, but not with her.]
Yeah. Malik's was really noticeable from the start... [A little thread of guilt. He'd waited, that night. He waited to tell anyone, planned on waiting until Monday when he could check for a tattoo or see if the weird behavior wore off on its own.] ...And we know that it's started pretty much right after trial for at least two of 'em.
There is some part of her that thinks she should have noticed with Malik earlier, but maybe she didn't want to think the Prism made this place a horrible reflection of her home, where people murder each other for less.
Or maybe it's because I, Ara, was stupid. ]
... I'll be on the lookout. I... [ There's a thoughtful ripple in her emotions before it twists and sinks, and she closes her eyes. ] I hope I am wrong.
Anyway they're all doing their best and they are struggling so hard phew. Kashuu's emotions seem to reflect hers, though. There's a twist of something anxious; he hesitates for a second, but considering what waiting got them all last time:]
[Kashuu is decent at masking his feelings when he wants to but he sure isn't as skilled at it as Roxana, so the vibes are clear on his end. Empathy, sorrow, anxiety. A tiny pinprick of hope that he might be wrong, but the grim feeling that he isn't.
After a beat, he'll reach out for Roxana's hands. His expression doesn't reflect the tumble of emotions; that's the one thing he has the most decent control over, for what little it's worth this week.]
...if she's more like Kazu and less like Malik, then we'll have a little extra time to work.
[Regardless of whether or not it's her, he hopes they have more time.]

We should keep an eye on Hot Pants.
no subject
... I thought so, too.
[ She wants to look away, after Malik, she can't afford to disregard her pragmatism.
Her uneasiness is replaced by a sense of calm soon enough. ]
Kiyomitsu...
[ There is barest tremble of vulnerability before she squashes it. ]

We'll need that extra time.
[ They always do, but she won't allow herself to hope. ]
But I'll have faith in her.
[ Whether it is or isn't her. ]
