He's being his usual self every day, all day. Worrying over stuff, stuff like that.

[read: white makes stupid decisions and mineo yells at him for them.]

[probe]

...well you're still not past the point of trying to eat evidence, soooo...

[SHE CAN UNDERESTAND?]

[enfangs]

I haven't tried that in weeks!

[probe]

I dunno White, you're still a pretty concerning person sometimes!

[enfangs]

I haven't done anything to warrant that accusation?

[probe]

You sure about that? [haha]

...he worries about you because he cares, you know.

[enfangs]

[probe]

It's also not just him. It's a few people.

[white :| sir, your crush?]

[enfangs]

[.................. awkwardly shovels down more ice cream and looks away]

[probe]

[...SIGH.]

What is it?

[enfangs]

What? There's nothing.

[probe]

Uh huh. And not saying anything at all is totally normal when it's about nothing, right?

[enfangs]

It's nothing, so there's nothing to say.

[probe]

Yeah, okay. [she rolls her eyes.] Boys make everything so difficult.

Tell me something else then.

[enfangs]

...

It's pretty much... all just tiring stuff.

[LIKE

NOTHING ACTUALLY GOOD HAPPENED THIS WEEK wow]

[probe]

Then we're at an impasse! All of my stuff isn't that great either.

[you know, what with childe being a murderer. but she licks more ice cream off of her spoon.]

But maybe that's not so bad.

[enfangs]

[eats more ice cream]

Not so bad?

[probe]

Yup. We're still alive to experience all of these stupid, tiring things. That has to count for something.

[enfangs]

[... it's a weird feeling for white, because outwardly, he agrees. the part of him that always strove for survival even if just for survival's sake says yes, absolutely. being alive is the most important thing, no matter what the circumstances are.

but subconsciously, there's a part of him—however much he doesn't like to acknowledge its voice—that thinks it would've been kinder for him to die young, rather than live what his life became.]

Well, can't deny that. It's better than what a lot of people get.

[probe]

Yeah. And being alive means there's still a chance to get what you want. That hasn't changed at all, has it?

[enfangs]

Depends... the longer we're here, the more I feel like we're gonna use up our indulgence points or whatever just to make it to the end, honestly.

[probe]

If it helps, it doesn't work that way. The points you've earned already are in a bank, kinda. So they won't be used up until the time's right.

[enfangs]

And when's that time gonna be...?

[probe]

There's only a few of you left now...it has to be soon. I can't imagine it'll be much longer now.

[enfangs]

... I really hope that's not implying we're all gonna die.
