[It's Thursday, and some of their harvests actually grew. Nikaidou finds that creepy enough, but looking at the radioactive pink lettuce on the table alongside purple tomatoes has him looking dubious.
That is, compared to the other produce he's yet to pull off the ground.]
... No wonder they grow fast. I'm pretty sure these are radioactive.
[He's going to have a hard time sleeping tonight at the farm after the investigations, so he's staying downstairs to be alone, checking the doors and windows repeatedly. He doesn't want to risk anything, after all, with or without the people here.]
[ She goes downstairs for a glass of water when she sees Nikdaidou checking the doors and windows. She's noticed that he's been at it for a while...poor guy. Is he paranoid?
Shinobu will get her water first; before she heads upstairs to sleep, she'll approach him. ]
[ She'll hang around, then, until he either goes to bed or shoos her away. ]
It's not easy, even for me, and I've seen corpses before.
[ Yeah. ]
Try to lie down, at least. If you need to take something with you for emergency self-defense, go ahead. I don't think anyone can really blame you for it.
[Give him some time from his initial angry cat phase to cool down. Once he does though, he comes for her, handing her smaller lemons than he usually has.]

Can anything about this place be normal? Just once?
[ What the fresh hell is this. ]
What are we supposed to do with these now? They probably aren't edible.
no subject
[He isn't. He does not want to eat this.]
I had a feeling it was too good to be true.
no subject
[ She tilts her head. ]
We should ask other people if their crops are growing normally. Did you use any particular kinds of seeds for this?
no subject
[They looked like very normal vegetables.]
I did remember a girl talking about fruits...
[He didn't respond though.]

I'm pretty sure everything's been locked.
no subject
[He knows that, but he frowns anyway, the paranoia making his skin crawl. Yeah, he should just accept it's locked.]
Mm, just checking. You can never be too careful around desperate people.
[After what they witnessed? Yeah, his trust levels have gone down.]
no subject
[ Poor Nikaidou. Is he experienced in combat at all... She gets the feeling he's not a combatant at all. ]
If you want me to stay out here with you for a bit, I can do that.
no subject
[He's honestly not sure. It's not easy for him to feel settled, but that's too much pride there to admit he's scared.]
I'm surprised anyone can sleep after that.

[How to admit, hmm...]
I don't know if I'm that comfortable in the room either. Wait, you've seen corpses?
no subject
[ RIP to all those random treasure hoarder enemies ]
It's why I was able to keep it together when I saw Sampo.
no subject
That does explain that...
[He purses his lips, annoyed at himself.]
I don't really know if I trust the people in our own cabin. We've barely even known each other for a week.
no subject
[ She nods at that. She understands. ]
Still, don't let that distrust make you too paranoid. That's one way people turn on one another.
no subject
I thought that guy wasn't bad, you know? The relic guy. He seemed friendly enough.
no subject
[ Man. Poor Eisuke. ]
I'm glad you can talk to me about these things, though. If not me, anyone, really.
You don't have to be alone in this.
post-trials
... Here.
no subject
Thank you. [ ... ] Did you get some rest?
no subject
[No. The answer is no. He was half-tempted to make more of these, but he's already got too many to keep track of.]
Next time, you can slice that and throw it at someone. It probably won't kill them.
[Just. You know. Corrode them a little.]
