[If it wasn't true, she'd have to shake him to wake him up, the same way she would need to remind him of the stark reality of his parents' deaths. It's a relief to only have to hold one sword of Damocles, for now.
It seems miraculous things are still capable of happening for some of them, even considering the current circumstances.]
Since he's all right, I wonder what that means for the rest of us. Good things, I would hope, even if I'm skeptical.
Is it prying to ask what happened? I'm concerned that you didn't know for so long.
He used a body double from one of the dungeons to fight Hien. That body double lost the fight and died and then Hien took the real Yael and put him in a casket for a cuople weeks.
This goes way beyond weird. This is squarely in the territory of messed up.
Have either of them said anything? You both must be tired, but make sure you don't go radio silent for too long. If something happens we don't have a lot of ways of knowing.
I'm not one to talk, but I wonder if he regrets how evasive he's been, now that the time's come when it might have been for us to know some things.
[She knows it was to her detriment, to keep so many people pushed so far away for so long, but she'd been unable to help herself. It came automatically, like the baring of teeth or the writhing of an animal within a trap.]
As long as you do your best not to forget to check in, then yes.
That's the spirit~ Maybe I will underestimate you, just to see what you can do.
[ It's what he likes to hear! Miharu is quite tenacious, and seeing that come out in bits and pieces... it's like a bit of sunlight hitting the dark forest floor. ]
the way i irl also still don't trust either of you

LOL
[ An extremely normal thing to do. ]
you both deserve it
What on earth? I know that's a possible dungeon effect, not that. The casket is... a thing that you've just written, I guess.
Is it because the Head Admin is unwell?

I would guess so. He's always been a little weird, but I never thought he'd do something that strange.

Yael told me everything that happened. I think Hien was just being as vague as he always was.
Would you like for me to check in with you every day so you know I'm safe?

[ Because Fai knows that feeling so, so well. ]
Alright, alright~ Then consider it on my to-do list.
[ And he will be very diligent about doing so, too. ]

[Well, she's just a pot calling the kettle black for that, and it doesn't give her any smugness or any sense of superiority.]
I'll have no choice but to let myself into your guild home if you don't.

[ Honestly, he'd be impressed (and proud) if she broke in. ]

[Although she doubts she actually has the tools to get past the guild's privacy settings, but she won't take that lying down.

To be fair, that's because Miharu doesn't have much to add, but she will be getting in her final word.]
Hehe.
I'll be keeping an eye out, so don't try and pull one over on me.
[Are they...happy...here? Is this life enough to make them all happy, in its own, strange, limited way?]

I won't, I won't! I promise. :)
