[ he'll have to be fast, because kazuki bails from the trial room the second he can get his feet to work. he's shaken up, frustrated. he doesn't even like scien, but whatever that was, it scared him.
he almost doesn't stop for nodd at all, but eventually he does, agitated buzzing around him. ]
[ as if he's familiar. he'll follow nodd's lead, though, because he doesn't particularly want to be somewhere so anywhere is probably fine. his guitar is coming with them, too. ]
[ maybe! maybe not! maybe he's gonna figure it out through context! ]

[ deep breath, then ]
If you'd like to learn how to fight, if it'd make you feel better, I can show you some things. You don't have to answer now. Think on it.

[ a purely internal wince, remembering the other day kazuki was hoping they wouldn't be made to see any corpse. ]
no subject
[ does nodd even know what a broadcast is ]
Pearce-san was the first I've seen in person - when he collapsed Thursday night.
