"It depends on my mindset, but it's more like instinct than anything else."

[he did!! his leg is no longer bleeding, and he has changed into a spare outfit that is neither ripped nor ruined. he notes Hien staring, too. . . and raises a brow, reaching out to dig his fingers behind the pomchi's ears in a firm scritch]
I'm okay.
[HE ALMOST HAD A PANIC ATTCAK BUT IT WAS FINE. IT WAS FINE!!]
Tougher than I look, aren't I?
[he is trying to keep things light]

[ Soowon will find Hien at Purrfect Penance, being covered in cats while lying down on the floor as a humanoid. This is the person who killed him. ]
[ Hien legitimately takes his time to think about this. ]
"... I'm not sure. People might scold you if they see you with me right now since I turned into a monster."
[ Everything is still raw, after all. ]

[ looks at all the other negative modifier people
ok ]
"The little ghost thing was probably my soul in a physical form."
[ So his soul wanted food. ]
"My monster form is a lot thicker with shadows and wisps. It was me. It's still me. You said that you'd be keeping an eye on me in case if things got out of control... here we are."

You really tried to wrestle a world eater.
[ Hien sounds slightly exasperated, but... he doesn't hate it. ]
Thanks, for helping out. You did good. You did your best.
[ He puts a paw on Edamura's leg. ]

[ Her eyes narrow, slightly. ]
I don't care about that. You didn't want to hurt them and that's the most important thing.

"Were you?"
[ Hien can say that he's used to it all the same, but it's still terrifying. It's a certain kind of horror to witness someone get chomped on like that by some nebulous monster that probably threatened to eat all of them too. ]

[WHO EVEN KNOWS HOW MUCH DETAIL HE'S HEARD but he's messaging Hien regardless.]
Are you okay? Were you at the river? I didn't see you.

"They can demand apologies all they want, and I'll give it to them."
[ He doesn't sound so bothered by it, but. ]
"... I felt that my memories and experiences were somehow being taken away from me... like they were being erased. There were these strange books in the church and it was gradually writing me out. Unfortunately, a part of me consists of the concept of Self, so to have that taken resulted in... that."

[ Hien looks great! Perfect condition. ]
"I can kinda control it... but it's really difficult. It's better to let myself go and let it act according to its instincts."
[ Like an animal. ]

[ he'll be here until hien decides to move, shaking his head no. nah, he's healed, it feels okay now.
"was it too overwhelming to stick around?" ]
"was it too overwhelming to stick around?" ]
Yeah, it's me.
[ hewwo. Hien stays put where he is though, so that he can give Tsukasa control of the situation. He figures that seeing in his other forms would make him run away or feel sick, so. Puppy, it is. ]

[ Hien senses Soowon's presence, but he stays quiet, letting one of the cats just sit on his face.
.................................
Okay, enough of that. He lightly nudges the cat over. ]
"Good to see you again."

[places the katsudon aside and scoops Hien into his lap, continuing those gentle ear scritches. they are soothing for him too, in the way that petting an animal helps with residual stress]
Yeah. I guess I did.
[it sounds so freakin' insane when Hien says it aloud. god. what the fuck was he thinking. he wasn't, actually! that was the problem. as always, when things get hectic, Edamura reacts on instinct. he doesn't think about the danger or the consequences of his actions. he just. . . does what feels right]
. . . felt like I had to do something. I knew it wouldn't be much, but I-- I dunno.
[a shrug]
I didn't want to leave you like that.

i wanted to give everyone space

[ she pauses. her hand slackens. then it tightens.
there's a flicker of an image. fuckin six inch hien (WHY) in a glass museum case. fiammetta's palm slamming down on a digital display. the light above the case flickering off. hien disappearing. ]
I wasn't... I couldn't do anything. You know I would have if I could.
