[Bradley, quietly trying to piece these bits together. Okay, so the darkness... if the spirits of the land were trying to devour you? Is that it?] What happens if your heart can't? [Are these things... related?]
I can't speak for everybody, but I'm damn sure we ain't happy about this mess. I'll do what I can here. Just let me know what you're learnin', okay?

It... Not entirely. It's not a place you want to spend a lot of time in unless your heart can withstand the darkness.
[He shakes his head.]
We don't know. But we plan to figure it out.

[Haha.]
I'll let you know. You guys sound like you have a lot on your hands, too.
no subject
There are bigger problems for now.]
Uh... Who told ya that? We're locked in here with the bear, and we just got access to the admin buildin'. Can't access most of it.
Besides... The two people with amnesia, I guess.
And we do some weird tasks for the bear. Like makin' cake with an "easy bake oven".
no subject
That's what I meant. You all helping the principal. It's keeping you busy here.
no subject
Only on Wednesdays.
no subject
I mean... Principal Bear isn't a bad guy, but he can be a handful sometimes. Accidentally.
no subject
[ he reaches out to pat Riku's shoulder. ]
He did lose all his keys and his phone. [ it's not malicious, just incompetence! ]
no subject
[PLEASE. HE STANS MICKEY MOUSE, HE CAN'T NOT STAN PRINCIPAL BEAR!!]
How's... [A pause. There's some worried uncertainty there.] Caiman?
no subject
... Still not himself. "Aikawa", he says.
[There's a strong sense of concern there.]
Talked t' ya at all?
no subject
[He's quiet for a long moment. He's feeling pensive, unsure. Confused, too.
And then he slowly shakes his head, lips pulled into a tight frown.]
no subject
[A muted sense of worry on Riku's behalf.]
no subject
A little. Just... to see, I guess. What he's like.
no subject
[ Different partners too.
Hm...
A little bit of resignation and determination. ]
I'll see what I can do.
no subject
Wait--
You don't have to do that. He can... come on his own if he wants...
no subject
But also a slight bit of relief. ]
Ya sure about it?
no subject
Yeah... It's okay. You don't have to make him. If he wants to, he'll do it. If not... that's okay, too.
[He feels, like, a small twinge of upset, but there's more resolute acceptance than anything.]
no subject
... Aight. Long as you're fine with it.
[He'll respect Riku's decision.]
no subject
It'll be okay. Thanks, though, for your help.
no subject
Rely on each other, right?
no subject
Yeah. That's still true.
no subject
Good to know that's still the same.
Just y'know. Let me know.
