How long did this go on for?

[karappo]

all of last week, from what I have been able to tell

[The days blurred together so much it felt like much longer.]

[manuscripture]

But YOU are okay, yes?

[karappo]

[ABOUT...THAT...]

im very exhausted
but i will be

[He's not okay, not at all, actually. But for the sake of existing he'll get over it eventually.]

[manuscripture]

That is a vague and unacceptable answer, Matsuno.

[karappo]

[Yeah, let's...try that again.]

truthfully I am not doing all that well currently

[It's like acid on his tongue, admitting that.]

but i will be fine eventually
i have to be

[manuscripture]

Do you need me to look at you again?

[ HE'S GONNA HIGH-KEY WIG ABOUT LORNA BEHIND THE COMPUTER BUT IT'S F I N E ]

[karappo]

[IF THERE'S ANYTHING WORTHY WIGGING ABOUT IT'S POOR DAMN LORNA, GOOD LORD.]

im not sure you would want to kishibe-san
i am but a ghost of my former self

[Maybe he's being dramatic for the sake of desperately trying to lighten this mood, who knows.]

[manuscripture]

[ IT'S OKAY HE IS ONE VERY CONCERNED MOM ]

That sounds dramatic.

[karappo]

oh, believe me, it is
i did not even believe such monsters existed in this world until running across those
those horrid body snatchers


well i did not exactly see them much since our faces were covered but i can assure you it was terrible

[...]

you did warn me about this sort of thing
i am sorry now i did not listen

[manuscripture]

You haven't listened to a lot of things I have warned you about, you know.

It's called casual karma.

[karappo]

forgive me if i was not anticipating being attacked on the way home from work
i may have deserved that, but lorna did not

[manuscripture]

What happened to Lorna?

Did they hurt her too?

[ keep yOUR COOL, ROHAN. ]

[karappo]

[Well he has no energy whatsoever to sugar coat this, so hold onto your non-existent pants, Rohan.]

yes
they were not easy on any of the victims
if nothing else i am at least glad i was there so she was not alone

[manuscripture]

[ funny joke ]

I need to go.

[karappo]

[He figured.]

okay
i will keep you informed of my condition if i do not return within a week or so
