Miss Reinforce,

Would you be able to handle the monster report today? I'm [a faint, nearly invisible mark] not sure I can manage it right now.

Thank you in advance.

Don't worry about me! I'm fine. But...are you really all right? I saw what happened...

[Still messy]

[kingside]

I'll be fine.

Re: [Still messy]

[euphemise.livejournal.com]

...if you say so...

[In a close approximation of his usual writing, but not visibly forced]

[kingside]

Really, Euphy, I'll be all right. I just need some time.

[1imited-edition.livejournal.com]

Yes. Last night was difficult; there is no shame in it.

[Still messy]

[kingside]

Again, thank you.

[superdynamic.livejournal.com]

Yes. What happ I have a note for you, too. Should I come to your room?

[Still messy]

[kingside]

Yes, my room. I'll see you then.

Re: [Still messy]

[superdynamic.livejournal.com]

. . . Okay.

[kingside]

[A few shreds of paper with one or two crossed out and barely legible words are left pinned to the board. The rest of the note has been rather obviously and very sloppily torn down.]

[superdynamic.livejournal.com]

Lelouch? Are Are you alright?

[Again, barely legible]

[kingside]

I can't Don't That's none of your concern, is it?

[superdynamic.livejournal.com]

Only according to you, it isn't. I heard what happened last night.

[Only slightly neater]

[kingside]

I don't want to talk about it. I'll see you tonight, Suzaku.

[superdynamic.livejournal.com]

Seems like it happened to a lot of people.

[Still messy]

[kingside]

Your point?

[superdynamic.livejournal.com]

Did you hear anything when it was happening?

[Still messy.]

[kingside]

I said I don't want to talk about it.

[superdynamic.livejournal.com]

It happened to me and Yuffie too. I don't know what it means.

[Still messy; obviously written with great effort]

[kingside]

I.R.I.S. mentioned an experimental program before Shir I started seeing things. The [a faint mark] physical symptoms began to mani manifest once it was fully loaded.

It would make sense to assume that the events of last night were a direct result of this program's [another mark] execution.

[superdynamic.livejournal.com]

What How can they program that?

[Still messy]

[kingside]

How are they doing any of this? I don't know.

[superdynamic.livejournal.com]

Yeah. . . Lelouch -- how are you feeling? After the sedation, I mean.

[Annnnd messier.]

[kingside]

["After the sedation, I mean." has been heavily crossed out.]

I'm fine.

[superdynamic.livejournal.com]

What's the secrecy for . . . Good.

[Still messy]

[kingside]

[Several false starts.] How are you?

[superdynamic.livejournal.com]

Um. What? I'd be better if I believed you were actually fine.

[Same as above]

[kingside]

Can't help you there. [Another mark.] Apart from that...?

[superdynamic.livejournal.com]

That was candid. And -- I'll survive.

[Same as above]

[kingside]

I Good.

[superdynamic.livejournal.com]

I'll see you tonight, then.

[Same as above]

[kingside]

Yes. Tonight.
