[Text] ☠ The voice someone calls.

[nightprince]

[ ... Unlike his usual peppy self, Ryoji's post to the network is short and private client messages are left to several people. All of them are in plain black text, however. You can tell something is up, he's bothering to use apostrophes and such. ]

[ FILTERED FROM IZAYA ; UNHACKABLE ]

... I'm sorry, everyone. If I'm not around this week, something important happened. I'll be at the Volo dorms if you really need to get in contact with me.

- Ryoji

[ FILTERED TO AIGIS ; UNHACKABLE ]

[ ... His typing drops here considerably when he messages Aigis and Vriska, as though he is upset. ]

Can we talk???????? im downstairs.

[ FILTERED TO VRISKA ; UNHACKABLE ]

[ ... This is hard on him. But he trusts Vriska, so he will get her opinion too. ]

[action] SORRY IT'S FOR HIS OWN GOOD KAJSHK

I don't. [ She shakes her head, quietly removing her hand. ]

It was simply a test, think nothing more of it. [ She serious expression melts a little bit, and she manages a faint smile. He's... stronger, than she thought. So much stronger. And there a part of her, buried somewhere deep, that can't help but be proud of him. ]

You're strong, Ryoji. Stronger than myself. [ She steps back, away from him. ]

I'm uninterested in harming you—you know this. I merely want what's best for him, whatever it may be.

[ She frowns, since before she considered Ryoji to be "bad" for him, but... but Aigis can see herself reflected in him. He didn't attack her, despite his natural instinct, because to would make things harder on Minato. ]

Will you be all right?

... Nothing some time alone can't fix. I... need to figure out how I feel about this, I think.

[ ... How he feels about Minato being hurt. Why he feels that way. He's not sure. ]

I've never been angry at anyone before then. Not... not really. Someone tried to kill me and I forgave them because they were remorseful. They killed a lot of people, but... that's different.

[ He seems unsure. ]

I don't like the idea of anyone toying with people's lives. Not like that. ... It just happened to be Minato who was first. I'm concerned this person may... hurt others.
