Ah, I see. You could ask. I doubt that Cetus would mind entertaining the thought and answering any questions you may have. I don't think it's so wrong to seek out answers either way.

[a tilt of their head.]

What makes you say that though?

[ cetus: actually i wrote both sides of the conversation on this paper because i was bored and lonely during orientation

he nods and resolves to do this when it isn't a thursday. if he survives. ]

Well, for one set of handwriting... I swear I have seen it someplace before, though I cannot put my finger on where.

[guestservices]

[be nice to cetus.]

...yeah? [that's curious.] Maybe it just looks similar to something else you've seen before? Might not even be the same thing.

[overruns]

[ OR MAYBE AQUARIUS IS JUNPEI!!!!!!!!!!! but you're just going to thonk at me. what is the POINT ]

I cannot deny the possibility. But nothing of that sort comes to mind.

[guestservices]

[hm...]

...let me ask you something. When you first saw this paper, what did you think? Was it obvious when you looked at it that it seemed familiar, or was it like...you had to look again to figure out that much?

[overruns]

[ hmmmmmm ]

It took a second glance, I suppose...? Why?

[guestservices]

[...they shrug.]

Just wondering.

[but they hand the paper back for dimitri to do whatever he wants.]

I don't know. Maybe it'll come to you later, or maybe it really is just something you convinced yourself of.

[overruns]

Maybe so. It is a thin lead to work from.

[ stop gaslighting him. he rubs his face briefly, tired. ]

[guestservices]

[someone please help dimitri. it probably won't be me, but someone please.]

Then maybe you'll get another lead later. Don't stress too hard about it.

[overruns]

[ why do you hurt me like this ]

It's difficult not to. Time is of the essence when lives are at stake.

[ it's hangman it's not that serious. anyway me remembering this was during memshare hehe. suddenly, there's a bunch of stardust!

it's this thread. ]

[guestservices]

[stardust falls...and they pause for a very, very long time.]

...Dimitri...what the hell happened on that bus? Why. Why!
