[so much has happened and enough time has passed from the trial that anya is at least no longer UGLY CRYING but... she's still a bit sad though.

but when she sees her fellow fingie friend, she will immediately be beelining for him]

Galo...! Are you okay?

[for uh

a certain definition of okay, i guess]

Anya!

[If time has passed from the trial, he's probably cleaned his hand by now and has it wrapped, at least, but he nods when he sees her.]

I'm okay. Are you? Did anybody help you with your hand?

[she nods.... relieved to see that he managed to get taken care of too.]

Да... Toi did. I will ask Luna to see when she is feeling better...

[because she knows she should get an actual doctor but

she sighs]

Yours is okay too... Жадный. They chose very mean warning.

Yeah. I’m not nearly as good as Luna, but this kind of injury is covered in my training.

[He smiles at her, exhausted, even though he’s clearly not feeling it.]

Guess they figure this is one way to make it clear we don’t have any choice.

[ . . . well, she just frowns a little bit at that]

... did not deserve it. We did not do anything wrong.

[so much for their warning!!]

Yeah, we didn't. [He nods in agreement.] They're just trying to break our spirits, but we won't let them, right?

[she nods.... she's a bit upset - her eyes are still red from crying earlier - but hearing it from galo manages to make her smile]

Нет. We will not. Knowing Galo has spirits up... I still have hope.

Yeah. Though, uh, we should probably vote next week. I got yelled at, did you?

[He does want to cheer her up and be optimistic, but, well...]

A little...

[mammon really tried, but he did it so nicely that she didn't really feel scolded]

... but I will try more next week. Точная. Be more smart, so I will know who did it.

Heh. You're probably too nice to get scolded! But I don't want to worry everybody again...

[she frowns]

Cannot do again if this is warning... Суровый. Might be worse next time.

... but making choice to hurt someone at all... I do not like it.

Yeah, me neither. I don't think anybody should get killed this way, even if they did wind up killing someone. But I guess we have no choice.

Прекратить. You do not think there is way to stop it?

[After the trial, he will make an effort to try and track Anya down, including looking for her outside near the playground!!]

[GALO IS A GOOD BOY - he finds her!! she's hanging out at the swing set, seeming to just doodle in her notepad and occasionally look up at the stars before doodling again

she looks a little surprised when he approaches but - ]

Oh... Hello, Galo.

Hey!

[Waving at her with a little smile!]

There you are!

[her mouth offers a small smile back, like she's trying to mirror his expression, before it droops again]

Поиск? You were looking for me...?

[Nodding! He's going to go about this in the most straightforward way, so...]

I wanted to see if you were doing okay! I know Stefano was your friend. . .

[She scolded him about it mid-trial, after all.]

[STRAIGHTFORWARD IS GOOD -

and she pauses at that]

... sometimes do not know your friends very well.

[and she'll gesture for him to sit on the other swing next to her, if he wants]

Сожалею. You were right. He hurt the horse, too. We found... [ . . . ] Um. Proof. In our room.

[He will! He will sit. Sighing out at what she says.]

Believe me, I know all about that. [Not knowing your friends, that is.] I only ever thought anything bad about that guy for frankly dumb reasons, so it's not like I knew more than you did.

[ . . . hmmm.]

Oпасный. Think he was dangerous.

It is... better for us if he is not here, right? So no one can be hurt. [a beat, and then a little more unsure] Or is that too bad of a thing to say?

Man. I wish I knew.

[But he does think about it for a second.]

I don't think it's a bad thing to say. [Shrugging.] But I don't think you have to make yourself feel that way or anything.

[ . . . is she making herself feel that way? she wish she knew. she wish she could decipher exactly what she's feeling, what someone else is feeling, what she's supposed to be doing right now.]

... I do not know.

He was very nice to me. [she frowns] But... he hurt others. So I cannot like him, because I cannot say that is okay.

Hmm.

[Sighing! Rocking himself back and forth in the swing absently just a bit.]

See, for me. . . Basically, the guy I admired most my entire life turned out to be. Kind of the worst? I can't really say I like him, knowing all that, but I also couldn't say I hate him.

[ah......

it makes her pause for a little bit as she takes it in, frowning immediately. what kind of person would betray galo? though she supposes that’s the entire point isn’t it.....]

Do not hate? How? Why?

I dunno. [Shrugging!] It's just how I feel! Maybe because I want to think the person I saw really did exist at some point, and it wasn't all bad?

[ . . . Oh.

hearing someone else say it.... she nods a little bit and let’s her hand come over her heart]

.... maybe.

I hope for the same, I think. I hope... Stefano was not all bad.

[he’s a serial killer but they don’t know that]

Yeah. He probably wasn't.

[He was, but that's okay. So is fucking Kray.]

[he totally was

but the assurance makes anya give galo a smile]

... thank you for talking to me, Galo.

Are you feeling okay today?

Yeah, I'm good.

[Giving her a smile back!]

Last week was really depressing. And it's not like I'm happy about everything that's happened! But it feels less hopeless when we managed to find out the truth.

[she nods.... she understands. it's why she's not crying as badly this week - or like, at all.]

Mm... To know we have antidote for Hunter - обнадеживает. It gives hope.

Though... I wonder about the note that had your name on it too.

Yeah! What the hell was that? I'm not a fish monster, but Melt was.

[she nods...]

And part about Stefano was right.

But... Почему? Why some parts right and wrong?

Do you know if more notes are sent...?

I don't know. I guess I should talk to Akira, huh?

[He says, like this literally just occurred to him.]

I don't want to think someone is going around thinking I could be a fish monster or something.

[she believes in you galo]

Mm I do not think so. No more monsters to find this week, which is good.

But... we will need to see if we can save someone next week too.

[Nodding.]

Yeah. Well, if I was a monster, I wouldn't be mad if people voted for me. But I'm definitely not!

I know.

[she believes this so easily - but also like at least they know this as a fact too.]

... I think I feel the same. Профилактическое. I do not want to hurt anyone here.

[Listen. He doesn't fully get how it works!!]

Yeah. But we probably don't have to worry about that right now!
