Correct, although theoretically it would have been possible to swap.
. . . Unfortunately, I can't tell you who of the original group I said I'd look into are still unaccounted for. Not until Friday, as I gave my word they would only be telling me. So. Consider the same list of suspects from before still in play.
[ he taps his fingertips against the table, thoughtful. ]
...What do you think? I suppose Mahito is always an option, especially if it might have been more malicious. Maybe... if it was more mischievous, Yuel?
[ .... ]
Actually. Now that I'm remembering, Yuel pressed me a bit last week seeking gossip.
[ he pauses for a moment, trying to recall their conversation. ]
'Romance is in the air', she'd said. [ hmmm ] She brought it up to me a bit out of nowhere, but I just took it for Yuel being Yuel. [ because she's like that. ]
But, neither White nor Molly came up, so. I agree with you - if it was her, it was likely more playful and thoughtless than cruel.
I hate the idea that he'll be hurt by this. Or that one of them will do something that hurts the other after, and they'll have to live with it. Perhaps if you give away your affections freely, this feels like a harmless prank? I fear that if this were me, it would destroy me.
I've been realizing lately that it would be. . . much harder, to live contently, when you have experienced something better than what you had and have to return to what you had before.
[ ohhhh hate that so much. he hates that so much. ]
...There's a lot to be said about this place and the terrible things it does. [ considering literally everything. but. ] ...Living a life newly indulgent, surrounded by people, does come with risks beyond being killed.
[ gu yun's quiet for a second, curling his hands around the glass he was drinking out of. ]
...It's already hurting Molly. I spent some time with him on Monday. [ the broken, miserable way he'd answered one of gu yun's questions. what he was asking for, the entire time. it's stuck with him since, and harrow bringing this up chips at wherever he buried those emotions and set them aside.
i mean it. i mean it, why does no one believe me? his grip on the glass tightens. ]
The idea that it might have just been someone's poor decision making infuriates me more than anything else.
