[existonance]

Did he do it to save him?

[autorejoin]

To save Setsuna? That was the general idea, yeah.

[existonance]

"General idea" makes it sound like there is more to it. Did he want to make a bad decision that badly?

[autorejoin]

[ Kira's laughing too hard to answer that question. ]

[existonance]

That impertinence.

Stop at once.

[autorejoin]

[ He doesn't stop at once, but he manages to explain while still smiling in amusement. ] Not all of his bad decisions are conscious. But no, it's not that. He didn't have much time to think past "Shit, Setsuna's about to get sliced!" and then jumping into action.

[existonance]

[another huff, but she relaxes]

His body moved without thinking. That much Echo can understand.

[autorejoin]

"He moved without thinking" is probably a decent chunk of his life, if you want to think about it like that. Consequences aren't his strong suit.

[existonance]

Inarguable...

[takes another sip of her tea]

Now. If you will not supply me with any new information, Echo will begin looking through the house now. If I am here, I may as well.

[autorejoin]

[ Kira waves a hand. ] Nah, I'm just here to answer questions.

[existonance]

I may not have any further questions... you answered what you could.

[autorejoin]

Have fun, then, cute little Echo.

[existonance]

Just Echo.

[stands up, looks over the table, then...]

[existonance]

Ah. Wait.

[autorejoin]

Hmmm? Is there something else, then? [ He takes a calm sip of tea. ]

[existonance]

Three placemats. Four chairs. Is this with purpose?

[autorejoin]

Only that there were three people usually here— Uriel, Doll, and Katou... but there's an extra chair. It's nothing more deeply symbolic than that.

[existonance]

[uriel she knows]

Doll?

[autorejoin]

Doll. She's... I don't know, Uriel's robot maid fetish?

[existonance]

Uriel's... robot maid fetish...

[autorejoin]

That's right! Cute robot girl in maid's clothing. Her personality's terrible, but no worse than Katou's.

[existonance]

I-I see. I never would have expected something so specific from Uriel... This is knowledge I never wanted to possess.

[autorejoin]

Even he's got his unexpected sides. People are full of those.

[existonance]

Unsurprisingly so... no, surprisingly so.

[pushes her chair in and heads towards that unexplored door]

Excuse me.

[autorejoin]

[ Kira nods at her and continues to sip tea at the table.

Meanwhile, the door looks like it's locked.... ]
