[ HELP!! unfortunately, this is a little too vague of a question for him, since he's actually considering it at face value. ]
...It's difficult to say. I'm fond of so many of you, for different reasons.
[ especially during affection week. ]
I don't know what lies in our future, but it is sad to think we may not be able to see each other again after all this. After all we've been through together.

...I hope they've been useful, at least.
[ gazes at the silly little og deadzos running their silly little tests.
anyway, more looking around for CEM materials! before it's finally time to take a break again ]
We can go elsewhere, if you'd like.
[ shouxue u aren't beholden to my rng ]

she sighs. ]
I realized their experiment was on memories because our bodies here are made of memories, but they could have caused less alarm.
[ when one of the early things they found out was the senior crew had memory issues?
she didn't want to be worried about scien brofise? he's annoying. ]
We can go to the gardens.
no subject
Dahut told me the same.
[ that the dead are just pieces of data—memories...
anyway, off they go!!!! to the gardens. maybe there she can try and get the forbidden ship deets out of diluc. ]
no subject
they are at the gardens with some flesh hanging out in the trees if you blink and mysterious voices every now and then. it's still very pretty. ]
... Who are you going to miss the most, Diluc?

especially since what diluc says is going to make shouxue a little emo. she struggles to have any words to reply with. ]
I don't want to think about that quite yet. [ this is a lie. she thinks about it more than she likes. ]
Of those still living, who will you miss talking to most?
[ being here instead of there is what she means, but he can interpret it towards what he said. ]>
no subject
Mm. We don't have to.
[ they still have some time left here, for better or worse.
he considers her next question. ]
Perhaps Shoma, or Charles. Shoma is always inquisitive and thoughtful. And though I do not know Charles as well, his presence is grounding.
[ so it's not necessarily the conversations themselves, or even closeness to the person in question, but how he feels overall around those people. ]
no subject
at least she doesn't have to judge diluc's tastes. he remains her favorite. ]
I liked talking to both of them, too. More than a lot of the others.
no subject
thank you for not judging him babygirl... he's safe for another week 🥺
he smiles faintly ]
The others aren't so bad, once you get to know them. But what about you? Is there anyone you're particularly missing...?
[ me like. is it owner. help. ]
no subject
Stress and tension bring out the worst in people. [ she has been angry at so many people because of how they acted in the last half hour of trial. ]
It was you, most of all.
no subject
[ (checks the date, thank god it's still affection week for this.)
he reaches over to hold her hand gently. ]
...I've missed you as well. Thank you for thinking of me.
