[Okay yeah so he's grabbing Ken and Ayabe because he has important information to share with them.]

Hey. I got this letter, and I think it's from Dazai. Help me figure it out.

[And then he shows them the letter:]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

From:

kazokun

Wha- Uh...

[ He lifts his other hand to sandwich Chuuya's too. This is the saddest second attempt at holding hands and they're really doing this here. In front of Ken. ]

Yeah, you're warm.

[ There is no good way to him to go back to talking about the monster house, I don't know how to end this tag without Ken just staring at them awkwardly. ]

From:

hamaoned

[ yeah.

he's staring at them.

there's no way you can go back to talking about doom and monsters when there are two guys holding hands right in front of him. ken really doesn't know what to do with this information either. i mean. he isn't against it. but. warmth, right?

hmmm.

i'm not sure what ken is supposed to do. does...he join in? he isn't in the mood to leave ayabe after everything but also................. ]

[Wow you guys it's not that gay!!1 Let Chuuya be the mother hen for a bit.]

See? You're cold. Ken, is there another blanket in here somewhere?

[They can talk house stuff in a moment.]

From:

kazokun

[ No, being mothered is too weird. ]

...You can bring it here and stay here, Ken. If you want. Since Dazai's no longer here.

[ Sleeping on the chaise must be uncomfortable? You can't move, and one of the sides is blocked off so your arm's just sort of pinned there. ]

From:

hamaoned

[ all of this is weird. friendship is weird.

also let's be real ken definitely stole blankets from the astrology tower and brought them back here the first chance he got. so it's not as though he hasn't made himself a nice little "nest" but at the same time a chaise is not a bed. ]

Wouldn't it bother you?

[ he's still trudging over with blankets in tow because chuuya requested some. nice, fluffy, and warm. ]

We'd both have space like this.

From:

shortforever

[Friendship is very weird.]

It might make him feel better, after everything that's happened in the last week.

[Time to get that blanket over Ayabe! Here, stay warm.]

I can't stay here, I have to go keep an eye on Akira. So I'd feel better knowing you're close by him.

[Not just for Ayabe's sake either, Ken looks like he could use a hug at the very least.]

From:

kazokun

Thanks. [ The blanket goes over his legs instead of being tucked in, because something something if your feet are warm the rest of you is warm? ] It's not uncomfortable. It's not like I've never shared a bed with my siblings before.

[ And he's also shared with Dazai, who is a LIAR, Ayabe doesn't cuddle and he won't be with a broken arm. Ken's going to have to go sit on his right side. ]

How is Akira, anyways? He really believes in the staff here. And he tried to get me to write to Blue, when I was feeling... [ murderous rage ] ...down.

[ He makes a face at that. The letter exchange was weird and we're not going to talk about it. ]

From:

hamaoned

[ ken is gonna stare at chuuya for that very strange statement because wow, hasn't this entire week been so much for everyone in this entire room??? admittedly some people are far worse for wear but minor details. also he wants to say something about how it's less weird for ayabe as it is for him.

has ken shared a bed with another person outside of his mother? likely not. so instead of talking about his feelings, let's agree to focus on akira. ]

Last I saw of Kurusu-san... [ hm. ] I think we're feeling similar things. Both of us believe in the staff here and figuring out this game.

[ except ken is likely to be decidedly far more murderous of the two of them but that's not going to come up. he'll climb onto the bed though. just at the foot of it as though he was testing the waters. ]

From:

shortforever

He's okay. It's hard for him to move around though, which is why I wanna keep an eye on him.

[Guys, it's not weird to share beds and keep an eye on each other! He and Akira have been doing it for weeks and they're just good friends.]

Yeah, he wants us to befriend them all. We argued about it a couple times at the beginning of the game too.

[But it's late, and he should head back before this thread gets too awkward, so!]

We can talk more plans after the trial. See you guys then.

From:

kazokun

[ I hope Ayabe and Ken can be murder buddies someday. ]

I'm still not sure about them, but... we'll see. Good night, Chuuya. We'll catch up tomorrow.
