[ WE ARE AT OUR DORM THAT WE FOUND SOMEHOW i'm not putting any thought into how we are simply here and are decompressing.

what's everyone up to. ]

Sometimes pufferfish are called tobys.

[ he's insistent because of his animal dislike, but also his singular braincell latching onto fish because of muu. anyway!

haruka blinks a little. ]

...you think that would be bad for them? Even if they're not here?

Huh.

[The More You Know™. Possibly he's just unwilling to acknowledge that he lost in the trivia contest to this guy of all people. What trivia contest.

Moving on!! He'll just shrug and lower his voice a little.]

Hell if I know. But better safe than sorry, we don't know how this place is connected to Milgram or anything. They could end up here or we could end up back there with extra stuff.

[One hand brushes his working eye. Which definitely still isn't working correctly judging by the way his gaze sometimes skitters off to something that isn't there but that's neither here nor there actually.]

You really think everyone else would be, umm... [ You know. ]

Even if it's uh, less, I don't think... [ he's met a lot of nice people here that clearly couldn't hurt a fly, says boy voted Least Likely to Hurt a Fly in the Minigram. ]

But uh, I can try to remember. Their numbers. Coming up with names for all of them would be too hard and we don't have Mi—number... [ give him a sec, counting on his fingers. ] Nine-san.

[Have You Seen The People In His Dorm.avif]

Write it down if you can't remember. Draw them or something, I don't know. I've got no idea how that guy kept track of all his nicknames, they didn't even make any sense.

[He's definitely not holding a grudge about the nicknaming scheme still. Okay.]

Anyway. Who else is in your dorm?

[ oh! he can try to draw them, that's a good idea. it'll be the most ms-paint art but hey, it'll help him remember. ]

Besides Mr. Adair there's... Rean, umm, Thirteen and...I don't know the names of the girls because they're kind of scary.

There's already number names....

[He's slightly smug about this but ignore that.

It'll get to be a pain if things get mixed up between that and Milgram but it's not like he's planning on airing that business to the entire world. Or even mostly ever. There's a sigh.]

Guess I'll have to visit sometime if I wanna know half of 'em. [glancing back into his dorm] Can't say I know much about the ones here yet. But... just... don't go around talking about Milgram to just anyone either, all right? At least, not the important stuff.

[I mean he knows at this point it is too late on Adair's end but. There is only so much he can do.]

[ haruka smiles; he'd like if fuuta came and visited, but he's still too much of a wallflower to say that directly. though, fuuta probably knows that simply saying hi is enough to brighten haruka's day already. ]

...the important stuff...why we're there? [ it is Too Late for just the prison part too, but ena took one look at him and assumed he was just kidnapped and not actually a criminal for real. ]

[Fuuta is a nosy fuck and would visit regardless, but it's going to be delayed because going places is!! Hard!! When you have broken ribs!!!]

The why, the details, how it's run... Just don't overshare. I don't wanna get dragged into it.

[He knows he has to be relatively specific with Haruka but they are in front of their dormmates and salad.]

Umm... I'll try... [ this is the face of a boy who's already failed. ]

Ii-if anyone thinks bad because of it, I can just tell them all about me instead. They'll forget about you then.

[ his crimes be Bad. ]

[Yeah, he had a Feeling. Biggest sigh ever.]

That's not actually going to help things, you know that, right.

[He gets it and he's thought it over even, despite himself, but all of Milgram is an endless can of worms. You can't get out of that jackalope hole, even here. The easiest way to win is to not play.]

Milgram's like this school. We still don't know exactly what it's really for, so there's no point just repeating what Es said. It's just somewhere... we weren't supposed to be.

No.

[ a rare disagreement, a shiny pokemon on the lure. ]

I'm not going back home. Milgram is fine, here is fine. But not back home.

[ not hard or sharp, but exceptionally smooth and opaque like the depths of the sea. ]

That's not what I meant.

[They may not be acquainted with all the details of everyone's backgrounds, and especially not whatever they did to end up in Milgram (crime, botched life choices, who knows), but some things are either inferred or pretty obvious.

Haruka's exaggerated attachment to the place itself is one of those. And now here. Who knows whether that's a good thing or not (or whether it's even his business).]

Nobody said anything about going home. But we were forced to come here, same as Milgram -- don't just take everything at face value. [...] Anyway, my point is -- if you have to talk about it, then it’s just somewhere we were forced to be. That we don’t know much about.

[ . . . ]

I'm not good at lying to others. [ which isn't strictly what fuuta is asking him to do and he's aware of that. still, he a messy glob of feelings around the subject. ]

Will it make you happy if I do that?

You think I want to do this?

[It’s not quite an outburst, he’s been trying to conduct this discussion as quietly as possible despite everything, but it’s definitely slightly louder than he meant it to be.

He’ll just scrub a hand over his face tiredly, more interrupting himself than anything. He has more than a few feelings on the situation himself, none of them good. Which is why answering that is—]

I just— don’t want to do that again. I can’t.

...I'll try. I don't want you to go through that again either.

[ have an awkward shoulder pat in front of everyone's salad. ]

But I'm still me, you know...? Here and there.

But you're important to me.
