❀ 5th Weed in the Garden - Written / Action ❀

[When the note appears upon the page it looks like it was written by a hand that was possibly trembling in fear. When read it says:]

Anyone who was bothered by "Steel Maiden" please come to the fountain in the plaza. I'm so- It's important!

[When people arrive there they'll find a blond teen. She's looking around nervously, trying to determine from the crowd who she pestered over the event. Shiemi trembles with her hands gripping her knees, and shoulders hunched a bit. Oh dear she wasn't ready for this yet! But it's been so long. She has to do this.]

[It takes him until the afternoon to wake up (again) and much to his chagrin he realizes that it's probably a good idea to go check his jour-

Shiemi, what are you doing? He's not exactly inclined to just jump up and go there right away, but-]

Are you okay? [Writing. Writing works.]

[shamelessness]

You don't want to do this in person, Silver?

[Written]

[tsuntrader]

I can, but I won't be able to talk for long. [Masaomi. He needs to check up on Masaomi.]

[A long pause before-]

Well I do not want to both you longer if you are busy.

[...]

The fountain, right? I'll be right there.

Silver, you don't have to if you are busy today!

[She doesn't want to impose or hinder your life in any more ways than she already has!]

[It's a little too late for that, Shiemi. He's already closed his journal and heading over.

And when he gets there, Shiemi will be presented with a Silver that... Is still exhausted. He's not the mess he was last night, he's cleaned up and lacks visible injuries, but an interrupted night of sleep isn't enough to bring him back to his A game.] Shiemi?

Silver! [She stands up to meet him. Oh dear she's shaking again.]

I j-j-j-j-j-just wanted to apolog-gize a-a-and- S-Silver, you look tired.

[Action]

[tsuntrader]

[...Wh...] Calm down.

[Action]

[shamelessness]

D-do you want to sit? You... you should sit.

[Action]

[tsuntrader]

Why are you so nervous about apologizing?

[Action]

[shamelessness]

B-because what if no one wants to be my friend anymore?

[And why won't you sit? She's worried about you.]

[Action]

[tsuntrader]

No one's gonna blame you for something you did cause of an experiment. [And if they do, they don't deserve her friendship. ...He's still debating whether or not he should sit down.]

[Action]

[shamelessness]

You... really think so, Silver? You aren't... mad at me?

[Action]

[tsuntrader]

Not at all.

[Action]

[shamelessness]

I- I'm so happy. Th-thank you!

[OVERWHELMING EMOTION. Her eyes water, and she's just so happy that she's tearing up. She is crying so much today.]

[Action]

[tsuntrader]

[...If he pats Shiemi on the head, will she stop crying?

Please don't cry, please don't cry, please don't cry-]

[Action]

[shamelessness]

[Sniff. Sniff. Sob.]

I... I wouldn't want to have to stop being Silver's friend.

[Action]

[tsuntrader]

...Hey. That's not gonna happen, alright?

[Action]

[shamelessness]

But... what if I do something worse?

[What if I'm a bad friend?]

[Action]

[tsuntrader]

I'm not gonna blame you for anything that happens cause of an experiment. [And that's that.]
