[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.

[ that both makes sense, but also does not. ]
no subject
Why else would I be crying, Brown?!
[And then he just
bursts into more tears for some reason.]
no subject
[ MAYBE HE GOT MORE EMOTIONAL IN THE WEIRD COWBOY TOWN SHE DOESN'T KNOW

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.
no subject
We also had something like a jail.
