We did get sprinkles! And sauces to go on top! We'd probs have to figure out the fruit on our own, if you want it, but I've got Verdant again, so that's easy enough.
[ he coughs a little. ]
...There was something I wanted to talk to you about, though - before someone calls another meeting. If they even do, I mean.
After that... no, not really. I was perfectly calm until after the trial. It wasn't until after that that I started acting weird. One minute I'd be fine, and the next I'd be angry for no reason, or way more upset about something than anyone should be... you know.
[ kumon saw how he was. ]
But when we woke up that Friday, after I was turned into a frog, I was fine. No more refracting.
She thought I was cursed, and that's why she used the gumball. But that one was supposed to help with refracting, too, so I think it is because of that. [ hurriedly adds: ] And I already thanked her and apologized for kicking her, so we're cool!
...As for the rest, I don't know. But she's probably guessed, at least. A few others figured it out, too.
[It's like... when you learn too many things at the same time and then your brain skips. You look at your friend. Your brain latches onto the wrong thing entirely and you say-]
It should be okay...? I've been fine ever since, just... you know. A little scared?
But I was thinking the other day that maybe it would be better if I told everyone. Stopped hiding it, you know? [ a sigh. ] If nothing else, because I hate seeing Percy have to deal with the questions about it all on his own.

It's about what I told you before - that I was refracting.
no subject
[Did it happen again??? Kazu seems like himself today.]
no subject
It was during that week when there were all those bubbles of our memories. But that wasn't when it started.
no subject
...
When did it start? Did you know it was happening?
no subject
But it, um. [ he looks away. ] It started the week before. That Thursday night.

[He holds onto Kazu's hand.]

[ he breathes a sigh, runs his free hand through his hair. ]
Once we all fall asleep. I woke up, and all I could think about was... that I had to kill Nines.
no subject
And... after you did? Did you think about something else?

no subject
[He didn't like that week.]
Was it 'cause Doctor Su used her gumball on you? Do... you think she knew?
no subject
...As for the rest, I don't know. But she's probably guessed, at least. A few others figured it out, too.
no subject
You kicked her???
no subject
Yeah, when she was looking for one of those tattoos. She was trying to make me strip, so I fought her.

[... He nods.]
If that's what you wanna do, I'll support you. It... might help?
[He has no idea if it'll help.]
no subject
You really don't have to, Kumopi, but I appreciate it anyway.
no subject
[He does not know how to do this.]
no subject
But you really don't have to do anything, you know? Just being there is more than enough.
no subject
I'm gonna be there.
