generally, charles hasn't been suppressing his emotions too much because he does not believe that to be healthy, but considering yuri's state... when he sees her, he makes sure to mute them more than he would otherwise, leaving them a low hum of grief and shock in the background.]
[ Perhaps to Charles's surprise, Yuri is cleaning the windows of the observation deck that show the stars. She is making them sparkly clean. If anything, her emotions feel muted, but it doesn't look like she's trying too hard. ]
Oh, hello Charles.
[ But she still smiles a little. ]
Thank you for yesterday. You really helped me out.
Mm... even if you're used to death, it still hurts. But I'll manage. [he's normal? he lets himself feel grief and shock and guilt. but it's not like this has upended his entire life, either.] What about you?
... Luke collapsed, right before the rest of us blacked out—apparently, that part comes hand in hand with the lockdown, though no one's sure what triggered the lockdown in the first place.
I think Luke might've had some health issues, but none of us have any idea what happened to Dahut after we all fell unconscious. He was fine at that time, at least.
He's smart, so maybe the communication channels were still blocked too. I slept for a long time, so I can't confirm, but it's already strange that Dahut would wake up by himself.

No need for thanks. We're here to help each other out. [...] Need any help with cleaning?
no subject
[ She doesn't want to bother him, but she can feel the muted grief. Muted or not, grief is grief. ]
Would you like to?

[ She hands Charles a spray and a wiping rag. Go wild, man. ]
Are you... okay? In general.

[ But like Charles said, it does hurt a little. But only a little. This feels like her former work again. Cool. (it's not cool) ]
Luke and Dahut were in the lounge with us, weren't they? What happened while I was...
[ freaking out. ]

[death still sucks!!]

[ She never would have guessed he had health issues. ]
Are the senior members reachable? None of this seems natural.
no subject
But yeah, I've been talking to Amalthea and Metis. They don't really have answers for us, though. They said they're looking into it.
no subject
[ What a HR nightmare, honestly. ]
I wonder if the shields outside the sim rooms meant that there was a fire inside.
[ That seems to track with Dahut's last thoughts. ]
... But I can't think of why there would be a fire.
no subject
... Maybe. Dahut was the kind of guy who'd go and try to put out a fire by himself rather than leave it, honestly.
no subject
[ Dahut will be missed. ]
He's smart, so maybe the communication channels were still blocked too. I slept for a long time, so I can't confirm, but it's already strange that Dahut would wake up by himself.
