“Me too. Though I get that you have more reason to be angry.”
“I just-” I stopped, clenching my fists. “I don’t-”
Don’t see the point of it all?
I blinked back tears. Fucking contact lenses.
I’ve already seen one reason not to get contact lenses today, outside the story. This just seems to reinforce that for me.
In any case, I like wearing glasses.
He wrapped his arms around me in a hug.
My face was mashed against his shoulder, his grip was too tight, my back was sore where his hand touched a spot near the burn. There was also that mess of awkwardness from when I’d confessed my feelings for him, that now seemed so minor and distant compared to everything that was going on.
It’s a hug. Just… appreciate it for what it is and what it means.
“We’ll get through this.”
“No,” I said, pulling away, “Not like this, we won’t. We fight them every time they come, we’re going to be worn out, exhausted from always being on our guard, and if these past fights have been any indication, we won’t make it through eight rounds of this.”
She’s right. Maybe they should try to do what they can to end this early.

I shook my head. “No. Because I’ve realized Jack wants us to focus on each of his people, one by one, because he knows it’s going to play out like it has so far, and that we won’t make it through eight rounds of this.
Okay, I guess not.
Shower…?
Anyway, as for what she’s actually saying, I suppose she has a point. This is all distracting from their original plan, which could still work.
Shogi.
Let’s change that dynamic. We take out testers before they get their turn. We go on the offensive.”
I suppose it would give them a bit of an element of surprise.
Also, I think Imp would like this.
