[pleple]

[ Ple Two clears her throat. ...she may have sprinted out right after waking up again, this time to keep from screaming and distressing people further, before waiting a little bit for everyone to wake up more. ]

This is... Ple Two. I feel as though I need to apologize to anyone I may have hurt or threatened or otherwise... caused trouble for. Obviously that part of me can still be relevant, when a bizarre enough circumstance arises, so I hope I don't need to worry about mitigating that in the future.

[ She was such a pain in the ass she wants to fling herself out a window. ]

I'm also in the process of gathering the kitchen knives I hoarded as weapons, so please be a little more careful with concealed places.

[ Now to figure out how to not cry when she tracks Madoka down again. ]

Comments

[pleple]

[ Scream really, really loud. Someone who can restrain Ple Two will show up - it's not hard when she's unarmed given the grown adults with combat experience. ]

...let's just... put it away for now then...

[ Sighing, she leans against Madoka, and releases her hand just to wrap an arm around her. ]

[happyends]

[ The arm is welcome. The (mostly emotional) pain is still real, and feels even more palpable after this talk in particular.

But Madoka tries to push it down the best she can. This shouldn't be about her. Ple Two needs her more than anything now, and being for her is absolutely the right thing to do at the moment. ]

Yes. You should rest, yesterday must have been tiring.. [ If her personal encounter with the other was any indication, anyway. ] .. we could lie down and nap together for a bit. I don't think anyone is going to miss us for an hour or two more.

[ And doesn't Ple Two want cuddles? Potentially need them? ]

[pleple]

[ They can't just ignore it and never talk about it, right? So even though it's killing her to think about it, putting it into words has to be better than bottling it up.

Ple Two still hates the feeling that she's relying on Madoka without offering enough in return, though. ]

I... got into a bit more trouble, yeah.

[ Nearly stabbed some people. Like............... why does that one teenage girl feel so familiar now that she thinks about it? ]

So I'd like that.

[happyends]

...

[ Madoka lets out a slight breath. She doesn't like it. The idea that Ple Two went around hurting people, or almost hurting people.

But she doesn't hate it because the other girl did bad things. No, she hates it because she knows it'll just cause more hurt. That it'll give Ple Two more guilt, and make things even more difficult.

So she gently tugs the other girl along to lie down along with her on the bunk they're sitting on. Grabbing the covers and drawing them over the both of them. ]

If you want.. we can go look for the people you had trouble with after this. And.. um, I can help you talk to them.

[ Not because she doesn't think Ple Two couldn't apologize by herself, but Madoka would just like to attach herself to the other girl as moral support for the day, really. ]

[pleple]

[ Ple Two doesn't want to be like this. Most days, she's actually fine - she's making friends, and a lot of the stronger adults barely even registered that she was trying to fight them. It still frightens her.

She follows Madoka's lead, lying down with Madoka, pressing against her. Feeling her warmth. Listening to her heartbeat and breath. ]

...that might make it easier...

[happyends]

Then I'll come with you for sure.

[ Even if it's just for moral support. Even if it's just to - quite literally - hold her hand through it, or something along those lines. Or if she actually has to speak up too, even that's fine with her. Madoka doesn't mind playing the mediator.

After all, being able to help out with any of it may help to make the memories of that awful day yesterday fade. To feel like they're working towards something progressive, rather than worrying about a repeat - no matter how real the possibility. ]

I'll stay with you all day... [ So Ple Two won't have to worry about a thing.

So - hopefully - neither of them will have to worry about anything. ]

[pleple]

...thanks.

[ Madoka won't need to speak. Ple Two is sure no one will be angry about it. Right? Still, having her on hand will feel... better. ]

Every second, huh?

[ She smiles at Madoka, laughing... a little bit. ]

[happyends]

Y-yes!

[ Ple Two may be joking, but as Madoka stammers out that answer, she sounds very serious about this. Every second means every second, don't even doubt her for a moment! She's determined now! ]

Absolutely every moment. Every second. No matter how long you need it, I'll be there.

[ And - as if to prove it - her arms gently move around the other to hold her even as they lie here in bed, all cuddled together. ]

[pleple]

[ Madoka sounds serious huh? ]

Mm. ...I'm glad.

[ There are some less serious things she would say if she hadn't started this off in a bad mood. Alas, missed opportunities. ]
