[He looks, briefly, like he wants to say something--but he thinks better of it, shaking his head slightly.]

...They're all different, I think. Every situation. [Every death, especially for beings such as them.] You expect it, in a battle, but...

[But it's different, like this. With no opportunity to even try and save those you care about.]

[ktiseos]

...but this is no battle, is it. Only us doing what we must in the aftermath.

[nothing else to do but find out after the fact, handle it in that way-- but it doesn't change anything about the situation.]

[aitou]

Mm.

We stayed in the dojo last night, together. A group of us. We thought... it might help, if anyone had to defend themselves.

[Clearly, it didn't.]

[ktiseos]

It seems this place is intent on denying that much, with the way we are forced to sleep.

[a brief exhale of a sigh, there.]

But it was not a poor effort, in my opinion.

[aitou]

[Maybe not--but it still feels like failure, so he doesn't say anything to that.

Will you help us? Tomorrow.

[ktiseos]

I shall. We will need to determine what occurred, and what the root cause was-- whether it is the same as the last.

[aitou]

Do you think it could've been something different?
