I like it. It's hard work but I think it's going to pay off.

[secutor]

That's good.

[ He's asking under the pretense of giving a shit about Oggai education. In actuality he wants to see how Tooru is doing. ]

For whom will it pay off Mutsuki?

[tooru]

How...has work been for you?

[ Despite everything, he still thinks about the old team all the time. ]

Well, for me of course.

[secutor]

[ The bureau director will want his investment in Mutsuki returned. Urie's too preoccupied to concern himself with his former colleague's situation, but he does. ]

Given the change in leadership work has been monotonous and bloody, but I'll manage.

[ ... ]

You know, I used to think people were replaceable (now I'm not so sure.)

[tooru]

That sounds like you.

[ at least some things never change. ]

What's changed your mind? Did something happen?

[secutor]

Yeah.

[ The Chateau is still inhabited but things, naturally, are not the same. ]

You could say that (you're the one it happened to.) Being brutalized, killed, is an occupational hazard in our world.

But I'm

uncomfortable with either happening to you.

[tooru]

[ Tooru takes a moment to respond. He's never really talked about what happened, and he's not really used to being cared about by many. At least, it seems like Urie is saying he cares, and that brings on strange, confusing thoughts for him. ]

That's ....

I'm fine, though. You don't have to worry.

[secutor]

[ He was unspecific in respect to which incident so as to not be invasive (vulgar) but he can't tiptoe around an event still fresh in his memory—Mutsuki's unaccounted time with his kidnapper is a fact that sucked the color from his hair. Does he respect Mutsuki by sealing his lips, not speculating, or is he turning a blind eye to him? Tooru's inexplicably carefree attitude, his explosions of rage. ]

What if I said that I want to?

They've opened a trendy cafe a short ride from the office. You can't make it to the house, how about for coffee? (Could I be any bolder?)

[tooru]

[ There's only one incident Tooru can think of that Urie could be talking about, and he rather not talk about it. Talking about it means facing what he'd done, how it had changed him too. He's not ready to talk about that yet, if he'll ever be ready.

But now he's reading Urie's text and he's still kind of taken aback by it. It's like Urie is asking him out on a date—saying that he cares— normal things....]

...I couldn't stop you.

But, alright. I can do some coffee.
