[ rapunzel's been baking and baking to keep her mind off of things --- especially the deaths. but it looks like she's not alone in turning to the kitchen for solace!!! because there's sandalphoningitin. ]

[ rapunzel quickly takes off her apron and runs up to him. ]

Sandy!

[ immediately going in for the hug. ]

I'm --- I'm so sorry.

[ it's late when sandalphon walks into the kitchen. he didn't expect anyone to be there at this hour, but he isn't surprised when rapunzel runs up to him. he draws his hand to the side, moving the mug out of the way before the hug makes contact.

he's just so tired. ]

For what?

[hairbrain]

[ she's training him well, he's starting to get used to the invasions of personal space. she's a very touchy feely princess!!! ]

Celadon. He should have..... No one should have done that to him.

[ and after all the effort sandy made to keep him alive,,,, ]

[melancoffeea]

[ he'll let her think that. ]

Did you kill him? [ no, she didn't. ] Your apology is unnecessary.

[hairbrain]

[ who do you think you're fooling ts(un)andalphon!!! ]

I'm sorry that it happened. [ gosh don't be so pendantic. ] I... I know what he means to you.

[melancoffeea]

[ himself. ]

It's fine. I knew he was going to be a victim before it happened.

[hairbrain]

[ good luck with that, buddy. ]

How?

[melancoffeea]

[ he's doing great, sweetie. ]

He sent a letter.

[hairbrain]

A letter....

[ celadon why are you like this. ]

But.... there's a way to save him. I think. They were talking about it?

[melancoffeea]

The same way that everyone here will be saved.

[ that's most likely what they meant. anyway, if she's done hugging him, he's going to get this cup cleaned up and put away. ]

[hairbrain]

[ she's never done hugging him. even though the armor is uncomfortable! ]

No, I mean --- like what you did with Natsuo. They talked about it in the trial.

[melancoffeea]

[ then let go of him. ]

I see. If such a miracle is possible, then I wish those on the side of the living luck.

[ the tone he uses sounds rehearsed, like he's reading off of a script. he shifts his foot to cue rapunzel, because he would very much like to return the cup. ]

[hairbrain]

[ fine she'll let go!! looking a little sheepish. she's gotta remember not everyone she knows is a hugger like she is. ]

I mean.... it is, isn't it? Since you did....

[ but then again. ]

Natsuo was killed, as well.

[melancoffeea]

[ with his newfound freedom, sandalphon goes to the sink and promptly immerses himself in the task of cleaning the cup. ]

So he was. The Blotters outdid themselves this week.

[ although, he thinks, there were probably more parties involved. ]

[hairbrain]

[ is this better than hugging???? ]

IIII don't think it was the Blotters.

[ there were too many bodies for that. ]

[melancoffeea]

No. [ he's quick to agree. ] There were too many victims. Blotters only need to agree on one target.
