I always put myself in destructive situations [W5, Friday]

[It took time. Everything took time as it always did. It took time for them to all calm down, it took time to heal physical wounds, it took time to properly remove the evidence of obscene crimes...but in the evening they were able to gather in one place away from everyone else. It hadn't been easy coordinating everything, but it was necessary.

And so here they were. All seven of them.]

...I don't really know where to start. [His voice is tight, but determined.] But we need everybody on the same page. Who wants to go first?

Aside from her, I got a letter from Higekiri. Haven't checked the mail this week.

[He takes some papers out from his pocket, fiddles with them to try and determine which is which, before putting some back. Once that's done, he holds out two sheets: Annabeth and Higekiri's letters to him from last week.]

Xion read them out to me. I didn't pick up on anything especially useful, but maybe you'll notice something that I didn't.

[... Higekiri's letter is a little personal, but only he knows the context behind some of it, so.]

...do you think Higekiri knew something about you being a Bounty? He says something about believing you...were...something. But that if you died you wouldn't inflict pain on people. Does that mean something?

... I can't think of anything that would've tipped him off.

[He pauses, looking increasingly awkward.]

He's... probably referring to his general opinion of me. He told me once, after Tiara's execution, that he didn't think that I was bad as I act.

... And, uh... I might've been a little nicer to him than I am to most people when he was on death row.

[god someone kill him now]
