Aoi is... Doing better now.

[ but, hm. ]

You can't blame Law?

[enfangs]

[he holds up his hand. wrath-aligned, baby.]

If he killed Douman 'cause he thought that Douman killed someone he liked, then it's not like I don't get why he did it. Maybe it wasn't a great thing to do, but...

[gamerbrain]

... Aoi doesn't like revenge loops.

Everyone Aoi likes keeps dying. Does Aoi get to kill that many people now?

[enfangs]

I mean, I don't think anyone loves 'em except for the people who get to sit back and watch.

But I'd be a pretty big hypocrite if I said "fuck that guy".

[gamerbrain]

... It's done, anyway. Aoi doesn't want to hold a grudge, either...

[enfangs]

[...

he watches her for a bit, before reaching out to ruffle her hair.]

Sometimes grudges are all that keep you going, but when all's said and done, they just leave you feeling empty. So if you don't want to hold one, that's not a bad thing.

[white is not usually this open about his feelings on revenge, but there's something about aoi that makes it harder to fall back to his kneejerk tendencies to avoid anything serious.]

[gamerbrain]

[ she is very used to people patting her head and ruffling her hair. her hair is perpetually messy anyway, so it doesn't make a difference. ]

Aoi is upset that Aoi's friends keep dying...

But Aoi knows that everyone here feels backed into a corner. Aoi doesn't want to choose anything that will keep Aoi feeling empty.

[enfangs]

[he lets out a snort.]

Well, that probably makes you a nicer person than most people here. [...] What do you do besides, uh, bang people anyway? You play games?

[gamerbrain]

Aoi doesn't know what else to do, so Aoi waits for people to talk to her.

[ ... ]

But Aoi likes playing games and reading manga. Sometimes. And Aoi likes cooking.

[enfangs]

Ohhhh, good taste. Well, the first two anyway. I dunno how to cook.

[gamerbrain]

Aoi doesn't know how to cook, either. Nothing Aoi has made herself has been edible, yet.

[enfangs]

... I feel like I'm gonna regret this, but now I'm curious, so... show me?

[gamerbrain]

[ she looks excited...? ]

Got it! What should Aoi make?

[enfangs]

[he's starting to get concerned, but...]

Hm... what have you tried making before?

[gamerbrain]

Cookies. They were really bad.

[enfangs]

Well, we can try those again, unless you feel like making something new?

[gamerbrain]

... What sort of food would cheer you up?

[enfangs]

... M-Me?

[gamerbrain]

Yep. The point of cooking is to make other people happy.

[enfangs]

I usually just eat stuff like fast food...

[gamerbrain]

Aoi too! Aoi usually only eats stuff from vending machines.

Aoi could try making burgers?

[enfangs]

Vending machine comrades!

[a beat.]

Sure, that works! How hard could it be, right?

[famous last words]

[gamerbrain]

Comrades...!

[ ... but ]

That's a very brave question.

[enfangs]

... Well, I'm not taking it back now! So, uh, let's see what you've got.

[gamerbrain]

[ i am too lazy to come up with wacky ways for her to fuck up this time but let it be known that after she leads him to the kitchen

she very dutifully looks at a cookbook
then misreads or misunderstands most steps written in it. ]
