Not Again! With Flayn

One of two PC posts with Flayn because me and Britt are fools.

[She nods - but she doesn't really agree.]

It must have been more frightening, I think, for the people who did not know what was going on, or who they needed to guard themselves from. And it must have been... very, very frustrating, to not be able to solve the majority of the deaths.

Well yeah. Why do you think I blew up at Taako over what he said? It was terrifying. So many people were dying, and yeah, I knew some of it was because people were forced to kill. But I thought it was like one person who had that, and all the other deaths each week were just people being murder-happy.

But that's still not your fault.

I do not know that any of us knew just how many of us there were... not until Taako found us.

[It's really good that he did! Flayn will always be grateful for that, since. It helped slow down the killing.]

...I just wish - I wish there had been some way to avoid it all. The fact that anyone had to be killed at all, it...

[It sucked.]

If there hadn't been murders, then everyone would have died. And I dunno about everyone else, but I prefer being alive.

So, thanks. For everything you've done for us.

[It's kind of him to say that, but -

Flayn looks stricken, and her voice comes out in a whisper.]

Please do not thank me for killing people.

[Ah. Yeah, he shouldn't thank her for that.

He stops for a moment, but then speaks again.]

Then, thanks for dancing with me. And for showing me how to show gratitude to someone else.

[That's a little easier. Flayn's expression flickers into a small smile.]

...thank you for being my friend, Chuuya.
