[Finding him in the residential area! She'll raise a hand in a lazy wave as she approaches him.]

Will you be taking care of Xion?

[he nods.]

... And what you said about the item was true?

Of course. It works a bit differently from what you used, but the ultimate function is the same.

I see. [...] Thank you, Shess.

Can I ask how the item works?

It's a sword, like what you used. But it can be used any time, not just if the target was voted for.

And once I use it, the corruption will be expelled from its host but will take its own form. I'll have to fight and destroy it then. The host will be fine, though.

... Technically, I think we could have used the swords at any time.

[But execution time was convenient.]

Are you going to be alright?

I wouldn't be using them myself if I thought I'd lose.

Then I'll be counting on you.

[he nods.]

How have you been doing, North?

... Me? I'm fine. I feel like that's what I should be asking you, instead.

Why me?

Well, why were you asking me?

Because quite a bit happened. Why would I not assume that it may be affecting people?

Then there you have your answer. You even went on a roadtrip with Satan this week, remember?

When will people start believing me when I say I'm fine...?

If they insist, it's because they care. Be glad.

I do appreciate it. It's just a bit different, that's all.

... Different, how? Don't tell me this is your first time having someone worry about you.

[he laughs a bit, voicelessly.]

I'm just not usually in a position where it's a point of concern.

What? Not usually in life or death situations?

[It's a joke, and yet.]

On the contrary, it would be stranger to not be, and it's why people don't worry.

And...? You're so jaded, that you never express concern over each other?

[is everyone in shess' world bad at feelings.]

Well, many do. But it wouldn't be considered terribly unusual not to.
