Did it just cover your eyes? Or did it blind you, somehow?

[ that's probably possible with this magic stuff, right? ]

[televised]

... No. It separated half of our group, and then— tried to hit me and Akane?

[She doesn't sound entirely sure about that, for Reasons. She'll namedrop Akane, at least, since she confessed to it yesterday.]

[unfriendliest]

It... attacked you? How?

[televised]

Hell if I know. I couldn't see shit, remember? All I got was the abridged version from the ones on the other side.

[unfriendliest]

You couldn't feel anything? Or hear anything?

[ there are other senses you could have used!! ]

[televised]

I could. It wasn't helpful.

[android senses are different? it's fine.]

All I could feel was the room trying to boil me alive.

[unfriendliest]

Boil you alive...?

[ he doesn't remember any place at the gateway that week that would do that... they must have been somewhere else, then. it would be really nice if the universe were a little more clear about these things.

oh well. moving on, then. he leans against the counter, frowning. ]

So how did you get back to the rest of the group?

[televised]

We had to solve a word puzzle. [... Yeah.] Once that was done, the darkness keeping us separated disappeared — and I could see through my own two fucking eyes again.

[unfriendliest]

[ well, that's dumb. ]

Then where did the... hands... come in?

[televised]

Between us messing around with the recording and Daiba solving the puzzle. That entire span of time? Hands.

[unfriendliest]

What were they doing? Just trying to hold you back?
