[ tiredly, because he knows just enough about garou to be curious: ]

You ever meet God?

No. [ He heard a little of the nonsense from Hot Pants. ] I didn't even know it was real.

It wasn't very helpful.

[ blandly. ]

Just... kept asking what we were.

[ there's a roll of apprehension after that, and he doesn't continue. ]

[ he's SO CONFUSED but also... apprehensive too

like it strikes a little too close to home ]

It was just messing with you.

[ he just gives a heavy sigh. seems it worked. ]

Did you let it get to you? [ hm, curious ] That stuff doesn't apply to you anyway.

[ he lives in a normal world! ]

Haha... Yeah. You're right.

[ ignore the guilt coming off of him. he's fine? he's a normie. why wouldn't he be fine? ]

[ YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY NOT FINE ]

...

[ so go poke at some more starfish about it ]

[ HE WILL.......... he doesn't know how to handle emotions hopefully Kumon can help you. ]

[ well, you tried! there's some vague appreciation from kazu like thanks for worrying bro but it's fine, he'll handle it. ]

[there's a flicker of something in clarte's emotions, but they're also listening to this exchange.]

[ curious? what is this, clarten?? ]

[nothing it's fine]
