The point is that each choice I make, an equal consequence must be dealt. The stun gun I have will shock me any time I fire it. The fingerprinting kit will give off one false print the first time it's used and picks up prints. And the fast pass will only send the hint to my PHS and no one else's, and that's why I asked Swan if it was okay to tell you. If it's a hint, we're going to need a couple of eyes on it.

What a useless stun gun. [ :unamused: ]

Well - okay, sure. I, uh. I've already established I know random weird-ass things, so. I can be your hint distributor.

It still works fine, it's like a static shock. It doesn't hurt or anything. [probably.]

It's more like I might need help solving it before we say anything to the group at large, because if it points to one of the Swans or someone we know, that could end pretty badly.

[ hm. ] Yeah.

Can you... just use it tomorrow? Or do you have to wait 'til trial?

Trial. All of my items like that are meant for the trial. Otherwise I would've used the fingerprinting kit on Friday before we messed with the evidence.

[ she nods a bit. ]

Okay - okay, so... what, you ask for a hint, and what, we just sit down and try to figure it out? That won't look suspicious or anything.

[he just. stares at her.]

You really think anyone's going to pay attention if we're looking at my PHS while everybody else is running around and arguing with each other?

[ chat is a bunch of nosy butts so yes

but lup sort of just snortlaughs. ]

Uh. I guess not.

[shoves chat in the ground.]

Exactly. We'll be fine.

[ she hums, and then offers her hand to sora. ]

You really haven't had time to relax at all, have you. [ softer. ] Well. I know now, and I'm not telling anybody else, so - you're less alone.

[he'll take it because he's taking this as a sign lup isn't mad at him anymore. ]

I wanted to help Swan as much as I could. So I am. [that is to say no he's tired but it's okay bc he loves swan.] But I know. You always have my back, don't you?

[ she wasn't that mad to begin with - more... petulant. but it's impossible to stay that way. ]

I do. Absolutely. [ she presses a kiss to his forehead. ] No matter what.

[beaming. lup is the best.]

Thanks. [...] There's something else you should know then. I saw one of Wolf's memories today.

Yeah? I - oh, do you know what his face looks like now? [ c: ] I saw one of his memories too, actually.

[he looks less c: actually he looks a little :c or maybe :\]

Yeah. He, uh. Took his mask and hood off for me.

[ ... huh ]

You don't look super thrilled about it. [ wtf he's so cute though ]

[he stares at the ceiling.]

His name's Cloud. He just doesn't remember that yet.

[ ... ]

Oh, shit, I was really close with Storm! [ stop ]

--you named him Storm?

No, I was trying to guess his name! I wanted to call him Vincent but he got mad.

-- Wait, how... do you know his name is Cloud, do you know him?

Yeah, I fought him. [he'll. explain the rest in a sec he's just so baffled--WHY VINCENT, LUP. WHY.]

[ IDK SHE THINKS HE LOOKS LIKE A VINCENT? ]

You fought him? The fuck!

I don't know! He looks different but...he definitely looks very close and acts the same as the Cloud I know. And I recognized the people in his memory.

[...] We were fighting in the Games at the coliseum and Cloud was one of the fighters, but we didn't get to finish our fight before Cerberus showed up and knocked him out and I fought him instead while Herc carried Cloud out.

After that, he stuck with some of the others in Radiant Garden and fought on our side until he disappeared.

[ oh my god, okay ]

Did... you tell him you know who he is? I assume so, right?

I called him Cloud after I saw his memory, and that's why he took off the mask. He asked if I knew him, and I couldn't lie to him. I had to tell him I wasn't sure if he knew me, but I knew him.
