And what...happened? To him? [ This feels like a story, he might as well ask. ]

[namisan]

People eventually fought him down, locked him away. Same as you. He probably felt terrible when he came back to his right mind. He hurt a lot of people. Way more than you.

But people understand it's not his fault-- that it's the Atroma's for messing with his head like that. So you ask around, you won't find people that hate him for what he did.

[pneumo]

Does that mean that maybe people won't...hate me for what I did? [ Look at this Nami! Sascha's actually following a conversation for once! ]

[namisan]

[Gold medal for you, man.]

That's right. But you won't find out if you're hiding in your room all day.

[pneumo]

I know.... [ But he's still kinda worried. And? Scared. ]

[namisan]

[...]

Come to the bar one night. You can keep me company while I'm on shift, and I'll yell at you if I think you're overstepping yourself.

[pneumo]

I--can really go?? Won't people want to leave if they see me...?

[namisan]

Nah, I doubt it. You're entitled there as much as anyone else and I very much doubt anyone's uncomfortable with you to the point of leaving. You might be surprised! People might be happy to see you not hiding anymore!

[namisan]

And if they do leave, I'll just charge you extra to make up for it.

[pneumo]

Oh... Okay! That seems fair. [ BECAUSE WHY NOT. (Sascha is not good at bargaining or haggling as you can tell). ]

[namisan]

Good! Come in tomorrow night. That'll give you a day to get used to the idea. [Also, Sam's not on tomorrow, so let's just avoid that potential conflict, shall we.]

[pneumo]

[ That is...probably very much for the best, yeah. Sascha is in no hurry to ever see him again. ]

Okay! Is anytime okay? Like, once it's night.

[namisan]

Yeah, that's fine. [Well, you probably shouldn't. Not before certain conditions have been met, anyway. Speaking of which--]

One last thing. You should still apologise to Sam. [Everyone else got one.]

[pneumo]

Yes ma'am.....
