[ honkai characters experience a great deal, but that doesn't mean things still can't be traumatizing or frustrating.

she waves, smiling. ]

Firefly. How are you feeling?

[fightolive]

[ She waves back. ]

I'm alright. What about you?

[florescences]

I'm also fine. These last few days have been a lot, haven't they?

[ an understatement for most. ]

[fightolive]

So much happened.

It's never just one thing at a time, is it?

[florescences]

[ there's a soft sigh. ]

Unfortunately, bad things like to happen all at once. We would be lucky if this i the only time.

[fightolive]

That is how it usually goes.

[Everything, all at once.]

I'd like to hope it's a one off, but... I feel like it's unlikely.

[florescences]

You're not the only one who's been saying that. I don't disagree, but... I don't want us to get too tense.

[fightolive]

Being on constantly on edge wouldn't be helpful either...

I'll try to stay optimistic.

[florescences]

I understand if optimism is difficult right now.

[ it's more than understandable, even. ]

I just don't want any paranoia to escalate into something that can't be reversed.

[fightolive]

That's understandable. I don't want us to make avoidable mistakes.

[florescences]

We'll all try our best, but... we're all only....

[ she can't say human because everyone isn't human. ]

We all have movable hearts.

[fightolive]

[ Despite herself, despite her worries, that brings a fleeting smile to her lips. ]

That's a good way of putting it. Hopefully those hearts will be strong enough in these following weeks.

[florescences]

They will.

[ confidently, for someone who's only known people for a week. ]

I'll make sure of it.

[fightolive]

When you say it, I really believe in your ability to do so.

[florescences]

Hehe, that makes me happy to hear that. It means we're getting closer.
