[He's probably in bed and dazed from literally everything happening, but he's still aware enough to catch the ping on his tablet. With a little trouble, he rolls over and grabs the tablet, sitting up so that he can prop it up on his lap. ...Typing is probably going to be troublesome, huh.
So that's why it takes longer than usual to get a response from him.]
Haha, thanks. I'm not so sure some of the others saw it that way, though.
[ That sure is a lengthy wait for a short response. ]
They might not have, and that's fine. I don't care what other people think. Should I come over? It might be easier for you to reply to me if I'm there in person instead of having you type all your messages.
I'll knock three times so you'll know that it's me before I enter.
[ And without waiting for a response, in about a minute or two there are three knocks on the door indicating that it's her. ]
I thought it'd be pretty rude to just not do anything though...
[Because courtesy is important...?! He does go back to sit down in his bed though. There's a couple of coughs on the way there, and honestly... it's probably apparent that he isn't doing great? He'll still smile through it anyways though.]
I'm not gonna lie and say I feel great, but... it could've turned out a lot worse. I didn't really expect it to end like that, though.
Then there's suddenly a block of text in hopes that he did not see that. ]
I heard from Nanase about the condition of your body. I'm honestly surprised that you outed yourself like that, but I guess for the reason you did it. . . I don't think it's a bad thing, you know?
And to be fair? It could have been a lot worse than this. A hell of a lot worse.
But then that block of text comes and that's probably easier to address, so. He'll... sit on it.]
Trust me, I hadn't been planning on it, but I kind of... did it without thinking, really. I don't think it's as admirable as you guys make it sound, though; I was just defending myself, plain and simple.
But you were also trying to help Cinque out too, weren't you? Not to mention that you didn't have to come upstairs with us to help stop Atsushi in the first place. You could have just stayed back, with everyone else, but you didn't.
Was that simply because Cinque is the Doppelganger? Or was there another reason?
[ Let's just ignore the earlier text! This is fine! ]
[Yes, running away from something will definitely work!! It will not just bite them in the ass later!!!]
Well... we're allies. So we have to look out for each other, especially since she was planning on being so reckless. And besides, it would've been a problem for us too if he stayed like that and killed more people.
[He's furrowing his brows as he says all of this though.]
Yeah. I do think that we'll have to work together to save the resort, so it benefits all of us if we cooperate with each other. I said it before to Doppelling, but it's pretty obvious we can't do this all alone.
And I think most of us will at least try to cooperate with you guys, to say the least. The biggest problem to be honest is getting most of the adults to work with us, though...
That's true. I don't think any of us really trust his authority. I mean, I certainly don't, but I want to work with you guys.
But you're right. You did kill a bunch of people. I mean, I'm obviously dead. But even so. . . I don't think everything is as black and white anymore. Maybe it never truly was at all, even if I saw it that way.
Even though you might have killed people. That doesn't mean you can't make up for it. Atsushi was similar in that regard, actually.
[It takes him a bit to answer, looking a little uncertain and hesitant.]
I'm not so sure 'making up for it' is really right. I mean, it's not like I'm happy you guys are dead or anything, but I don't know if I regret it, either. It was never really about morals: I was hungry, so I hunted. And even if we resolve all of this, that's not going to change. Sure, I won't be going after you guys, but I'll still be killing humans who stumble into the resort -- isn't that what people define as a monster?
[ Her own answer is a little hesitant on her end, too, almost contemplative. ]
Can't you change your diet.
Although I guess it can't be helped. That's the nature of the Jorogumo, isn't it? I knew that, and yet still--
[ She stops typing there, but then picks it up again. ]
I don't define that as "a monster". I mean, I can't say that I approve that you'll end up killing people, even if it isn't our group, but I guess it's similar to how we wind up killing other animals for food. Basically a food chain thing, so I get it.

Maybe not. You guys might've rubbed off on me a bit. But either way, I think it's advantageous to have more of you guys alive at this point.

I can't really blame them, though. I mean, we did kill a number of people. I'd want to get rid of threats like that as soon as possible too.
