Apple pie. A classic! And I figure you can cut the apples for me.

I'm - not as good at the whole, uh, baking thing, but it's fine.

[enfangs]

Cutting apples should be easy enough...

Maybe you should join forces with Aoi sometime, though. She's also learning how to bake.

[probe]

I would! She's gotta come to me, though, I don't, uh - well, we don't usually text you guys first, you know? It's unprofessional or whatever the fuck Greed thinks.

She's a sweet girl, I worry about her. [they hand white a knife. go wild.]

[enfangs]

Yeah, she's had a pretty bad time.

[do not tell white to go wild with a knife

but he'll get to work cutting the apples... he's good with knives but not, uh. necessarily in a food-cutting way. so the results are debatable.]

[probe]

[he is doing his best and that's all that matters.]

What about you? Have you had a pretty bad time?

[enfangs]

... Well, could be worse.

[probe]

How loudly are you going to screech if I ask you about Molly?

[enfangs]

W-Why are you asking about him...?

—And I don't screech!

[probe]

You screech a little.

I'm asking because I'd hope he makes things a little better for you?

[enfangs]

[PLEASE WRATH HE'S CURSED

he looks away, turning red.]

Well... maybe...

[except for the part involving mineo but anyway]

[probe]

[THEY'RE JUST CHECKING]

Maybe. [they pause, glancing at him.] Don't tsundere me now, bud.

[enfangs]

Can people stop calling me that...

[probe]

[hm.]

I'm mostly just trying to get a sense of where you're at emotionally, White, that's all. We're not a team but I, you know, like my Wraths.

[enfangs]

... It's nice, having him around.

[probe]

That's good. [they reach over to steal an apple slice to munch on.]

Do you have other people you like being around? It doesn't have to be romantically.

[enfangs]

Well... Mineo, I guess. And beating up Endorsi is fun.

[probe]

[...]

You don't have any friends you don't like to beat up, my man?

[enfangs]

I have some!

[probe]

Liiiiiiiike?

[enfangs]

[who does he get along with...]

I've never fought Shi Qingxuan! And I don't think Aoi can fight...

[probe]

They're both sweethearts, for sure.

[enfangs]

Yeah. Kind of too nice for this place, if you ask me. But I guess I also get along with, uh, Harrow? In our own way.

[in two days and once kindness week/love arrows are over he'll probably have accidentally burned his bridges with her and molly and cut his list of friends in half

but it's fine he doesn't know yet how incredibly stupid he'll be]

[probe]

Harrow is pretty easy to get along with, by what I've seen.

[white, please] For as much as she's prickly, you know? She's managed to make some good friends, same as you.

That's uh, that's good to hear though. I'm glad you're doing fine.

[enfangs]

[white doesn't really know how many of them he'd call close friends, but given that he made his first real friend only about a week before he died, he's not exactly picky.]

... Yeah. Like I said, could be worse.

[probe]

You done with those apples? Gimme.

[a pause.] Could be worse, sure. You could be dead, but you're not.
