[ She doesn’t want to admit that she prepped herself to do just that. ]

I can get around without crutches if it’s a short distance. My chest is fine. My face is… like this… [ She reaches up to touch her cheek, frowning. ] And I can’t see from my left eye.

Was pretty convenient, since I had some “Sage Eye” thing. [ looking at him like SO WHAT THE FUCK SIR??? ]

[malewife]

... I wonder if we can ask the Watchers what they can do about it next week.

[ If her face bothers her. Also, he frowns at the mention of Sage's Eye. That is his skill? ]

It sounds like you picked up abilities from us. [ Hm. ] Did you find anything useful that might be related to this place?

[ me being like yjh wants plot clue then we can talk trauma ]

[quiz]

It’s fine. [ She waves a hand. ] Plus, I’m still the cutest with a scar so why not keep it?

Yeah. Why? You wanna know what about? [ She leans back a bit in her seat. ] I’m hungry.

[malewife]

... I will cook you something if you tell me.

[ Stupid. He checks his pocket watch. ]

Unfortunately, it would need to be quick since the barriers should go up soon.

[quiz]

Not for food. [ She nods her head. ] I want info, too.

[ She pulls out a piece of paper from her bra. ]

It's research about eradicating "gold" -- apparently the results were pretty good.

If you want the whole thing, though, then I need to know one thing: what do you see on your coin?

[malewife]

Why are you curious to know again?

[ HELLO??? ]

[quiz]

Because you never told me.

[malewife]

In the end, I don't believe it to be important.

[ Hm. But maybe because it isn't important. ]

I see a clock.

[quiz]

[ Yeah, she doesn't care if it's important or not. ]

Now why couldn't you just tell me that when I asked?

[malewife]

[ If only he was the type to roll his eyes. ]

You don't need to stay chipper after what you went through.

[quiz]

But if I wallow in it for too long, I'll probably just start to overthink.

Like, do I truly deserve to live in this world after everything I've done?

[malewife]

Sometimes, you need to let yourself feel, if only a bit.

... You didn't ask to be born or to live through your tragedy, so of course at the very least you deserve to live a life you actually want.

[quiz]

You make it sound so easy --

But maybe the easiest things in this world are just really hard for me. [ She shrugs. ] Oh well, I'll figure it out.

[malewife]

... If that's what you believe.

[ He won't get in the way of people wanting to take care of themselves, in their own way and their own pace, as long as he doesn't see that it's destructive or stupid. ]

The information.

[quiz]

[ She unfolds the piece of paper and reads it out to him: ]

PROJECT – SHADOWS & GOLD
TEST #24
The Magis

Purpose: Does eradicating “gold” result in the destruction of Subject A.

Results: Overall favorable. Detonation and elimination of desired target was mostly successful. Test provided to yield results within the parameters expected with the standard deviation of 5%. Error margins likely the result of the quantities of DNA supplied.

Short term effects provided to be successful. Long term effects unknown. Bigger sample required for more testing. Long term effects of testing required.

Conclusion: More testing required—new subjects needed. New location needed.

[ She looks up at him expectantly. ]

[malewife]

... I wonder if that's from the Magisterium.

[ This is acceptable. He is very pleased to receive info. ]

[quiz]

Well having "The Magis" right there is pretty damning, isn't it?

Get outta here and go kiss Dokja in your new love nest.

[malewife]

... We do not have a love nest.

[ He looks at Reze like he doesn't want to leave her by herself. ]

I'll at least escort you.

[ So then we can wrap this up. ]

[quiz]

[ Reze looks back at him like she might just be sick.

She stands on her own, grabbing her crutch. ]

It’s fine. I’m not planning on sticking with a group today, anyway.

[ Before she does limp away, though, she will say this: ] You know, after everything I saw…

I almost wish I didn’t have a heart, so I could kill both of you fools.
