I will be down momentarily.

[ And, in a matter of minutes, Aigis walks down stairs, eyes automatically scanning for Ryoji. ]

[ ... He looks like he hasn't slept much. Unless you count falling asleep outside Minato's door. ]

Hey.

[ ... ]

I don't understand why this happened. Why... would anyone want to do this to him?

I understand how you feel.

[ Aigis walks to him, taking a step closer than usual, in order to reach out and put her hand on Ryoji's forehead. ]

But you cannot change what's happened--devastating as it may be. We need to be calm, and take care of ourselves--and him. [ Her usually blank expression turns into a small smile. ]

You need rest.

[ ... He is breaking down here, slowly. ]

But I can't... I can't DO anything! Except make it worse...!

[ He is crying now, and he can't help it. He just slams his fist angrily down on a nearby wall, breathing heavily, tears welling up. ]

I can't... protect him... why? Why would he... why would he LET someone play with him like this? Why can't he see how much he MEANS to me?!

[ ... His hand stays on the wall, trying to breathe, but he's crying now and he can't avoid it. ]

[Fine, okay, PAUSING THIS CONKSUCK GAME. She forgot to jump over the water anyway. She goes to where he is and slides next to him.]

What's the problem?????

[ ... Okay, do you see this expression, Vriska? This? This is possessive. This is held back RAGE. Rage turned into a very sick, icy, lethal desire to maim someone. ]

... A man named Orihara Izaya slipped a drug into Minato's tea, proceeded to play with him, and nearly killed him.

[ This is a very broken smile. ]

He had no right to do that. He's no god. Minato believes in people being redeemable, but he's scum. He doesn't care that he did it. He just wants to know WHY. But he had no good reason. He did it for amusement. ... It's not funny. He kept joking around, acting like we were flushed--no. Minato is my other half.

... He's mine. He has no right to toy with him.

[She smiles at him, sensing the rage he's holding back. She thinks of a comforting reply ("forget it, Ryoji, you're not that type of guy") but then, she really isn't the calmer half of their relationship, is she? She knows what he wants to do, and a little revenge can never hurt anyone.]

He wronged you. No, worse! He hurt your other half.

Don't just sit there and take it like a chump! Good guys get stepped on. Who knows what he'll do next time? I think the obvious answer is to...

[She leans forward to whisper the following to him:]

Make him pay.

[ ... He expected that. To be honest, maybe he's looking for it right now. But something in the back of his mind imagines Minato having to deal with more trouble than he's already caused... and he bites back his anger. ]

... Only if he does anything else. I can't cause Minato more harm right now, but...

[ A sigh. ]

The only thing I really want to do is kill this man. Repeatedly. Wait for him to come back, and then kill him again. And again. I can't... forgive him. If I leave this dorm, I will make a beeline to do something that'll cause Minato more trouble.

[ Instinct versus consequence. That is the battle going on here. ]

[ N is not doing well himself, but he cannot ignore that sort of message from a friend. ]

Are you all right?

[ ... ]

I'm fine. Sorry, N-kun. I just need to... stay here. I can't leave this week. That's all.

[ Or he'll do something extremely rash. ]

Okay. Let me know if you need anything.

[ By that token, N should have stayed home too. ]

... I'll be alright.

I know you're having trouble, too... I'm sorry. But... today may not be the best time... even so, you're always welcome at our dorms.

I just... don't want to leave, that's all.

Oh. It's alright, Ken-kun. I'm just not feeling well, and I'm a little stressed out. I'll be fine soon.

[Yeah, he's calling bullshit on that. Something about that really does not sound right.]

... Please understand that I really just need to be alone right now.

Or I might do something I'll regret.

And I think you of all people would understand wanting revenge.

... Just... please. I'm sorry, Ken-kun. I'll talk to you when I can, but I'm tired.

[Junpei happens to be hanging out in his bedroom when he sees this message. He goes over and knocks on Ryoji's door, to no avail. Shrugging, he takes the stairs down to the main floor and spots him.]

Yo! You don't look so hot, dude. You okay?

[ He shakes his head, forcing a well-placed mask of a smile. ]

I just need some rest. I'll be fine.
