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

[hydrokinetics]

[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?

Don't think of it as a mistake yet. She's still a good person even if she might be doing things for the wrong reasons. That's what we have to remember.

[insincerely]

... Yeah. I know.

[He thinks of Kiri, who literally stabbed him in the back and then started crying, and how he forgave her even in that moment.]

...it's going to be fine, Shinnosuke. We're going for my experience here, remember? [It's light, but it's a reminder. He's not going to let anything bad happen to Shinnosuke if he can help it.]

[insincerely]

[That actually gets a smile out of him (and he hates that it does).]

... It'd be nice if that could happen.

[hydrokinetics]

[Gods. Thanks, Shinnosuke...]

We're going to do our best to make it happen. That's guaranteed.
