[ she'll have confidence when he can go one week without being hurt or killed!!! ]

I don't know if you should be jumping around in your condition. But it is stuffy....

[ she can't help but agree. anyway, she drapes the blanket over him and starts offering him the treats. ]

[ It's Wednesday today and he's made it halfway through the week with nothing more than a scalded tongue, this is the best he can do.

He sits up a little straighter- like doing a crunch, except with his stomach the way it is, the searing pain shoots right through him and he flops back down onto his back, questions his life choices for a singular moment, and then moves so that he's sitting properly on the seat instead of sprawling out across the entire length of the couch. ]

Thanks. I just... don't like being inside, you know. Being cooped up all the time, not being able to go outside or even leave my room, that's not something I can agree to.

[ one whole week or no confidence, that's the deal natsuo!! anyway, she sits down next to him, putting a hand on his shoulder to steady him. ]

Not allowed to leave your room? [ oh man he got grounded! ] No, that's not right. Nobody should try to lock you up, no matter how worried they are. That isn't right.

[ it comes out a little heated, almost like this is personal. ]

[ He got grounded!!! It's not fair :( The worst punishment :( :( :( ]

Right?! What's with this place!! The dining halls only work at certain times! We have bedtimes on Thursdays like we're kids! We have a rulebook with stupid rules!! And we're all just following them like we've got no choice!!!!

[ maybe he's getting slightly derailed here, but! let him throw his tantrum, he's been keeping it inside for a while now ]

[hairbrain]

Well, we don't have that much of a choice.... [ she does understand his frustration, though. it really sucks. all of it does. ]

Not to mention all the murder.

[ and trials!!!! this isn't ace attorney, murder castle. ]
