[ the murder was unwanted, but expected. hearing people yell about hearing akechi's voice was unexpected though.
however, the most surprising thing was seeing damian burst into tears and run off. stephanie stares in disbelief for several seconds before following after him, only pausing when she sees him enter the building. she follows after. ]
[She can hear him before she even gets much farther inside. The more he tries to hold in the ridiculous sobs, the louder they are when they explode from him.
He draws in a breath to hold it after she calls to him, quiet. His voice is croaky. :'(]
[The door swings open suddenly, and he steps out. His face is--a mess. It's just as sour and flat as usual, but the eyes are red, the skin wet. His gaze is wild and piercing. The edges are trying not to crack.]
Because it was suspicious. Because... it... [Okay, he just fucking stops talking until the crying isn't sobs anymore.] Because it was similar to the jail from our game.

Why else would I be crying, Brown?!

bursts into more tears for some reason.]
no subject
[ MAYBE HE GOT MORE EMOTIONAL IN THE WEIRD COWBOY TOWN SHE DOESN'T KNOW
but she goes quiet after that, and walks closer to the stall. ]

Why aren't you searching for the body...?
no subject
[ there's a pause, and she sighs. ]
... other people are. I wanted to check on you first.
[ neither of them know there is no investigation ]

Brown. [He's too tired. All at once, he starts crying again. He barks,] Stop! [but it isn't at her.]
no subject
[ she's so confused. ]
Was there anything else odd when you woke up?
no subject
No. I just-- I just feel like crying! Again my will!
no subject
Was anyone else in your room feeling strange?
[ did he piss someone off and they cursed him
she does not say that one out loud ]
no subject
Wha--No. I wasn't in my cabin, Brown!
[This
frustration??? makes him start bawling again.]
I was... in the cabin... down the path!
no subject
... why.
no subject
Because it was suspicious. Because... it... [Okay, he just fucking stops talking until the crying isn't sobs anymore.] Because it was similar to the jail from our game.
no subject
[ until the. execution. ]
no subject
I wanted to make sure... no one ended up in it regardless.
