He managed to get away from all of this for an entire month, he'd told me. All alone, that entire time.
He was both pretty mad and miserable that he ended up coming back to all this sacrice bullshit.
[ ... But also maybe even just a bit happy to see people again, only to die. Daan doesn't say this out loud because he just kind of can't bring himself to. ]

Don't make it sound like we're pity friends...
no subject
...
Just never really been... asked that before, I guess?
It's not meant to be a pity thing. If you say we are, then we are.
no subject
We are, then. [firmly.] One of my best.
no subject
Really. So much already?
no subject
Haven't had a lot of friends in ten years, mind you.
[don't tease him there are three people dead]
no subject
[ Things are dour but at least he still has it in himself to do some level of banter. ]

[ This isn't said in a downer way, just objectively. ]
...But thanks.

... You keep looking at his poster. You know it's not your fault. [the pickles poster, she means.]
no subject
Just... we had quite a long conversation yesterday...
He went through a lot, on that weird outing or whatever that they'd gone to.
It just... seems really cruel to kill him after that.
I can only hope he managed to find some reprieve...
no subject
[she glances at the poster.]
Wherever he is now, it's probably better than this.

[god.]
I don't blame him, I'd be furious too, to get dropped back in, but... alone doesn't work for me, so maybe not too much.
no subject
...Yeah.
I just hope... I don't know. That anything I said really helped.
no subject
It did. [confidently.] The fact that you tried at all meant something, I'm sure.
no subject
[ He'll never know. The dead don't talk... until we get deda letters and then they suddenly do. Maybe? I hope it's via insane ouija. ]
Rest up for tomorrow. We're gonna need everything your brain can offer with three.
no subject
Alright. [she squeezes his hand one more time, and then finally lets go.]
Don't know how good I'm going to be at helping with figuring this shit out, but. [...] You rest too, alright?
no subject
[ Then again, he's not sure if having a professional here at the function would actually make anything much better. ]
I will.
