[Eugh. He didn't mean for it to turn into this. It's a minute before Cloud finally decides to change the subject. Try not to think about drowning children for awhile.]

listen, back there. i don't handle being trapped well. i didn't mean for you to get wrapped up in that.

to be fair i don't know anyone who handles being trapped very well.
not fond of it either.

[Not like he was having several consecutive panic attacks one after the other or anything though. Course not.]

[Maybe one day he'll be ready to talk about why. To be more... open about all of that. His business. But as it stands, he had to sugarcoat it around his own friends. It's not an easy thing to talk about.]

were you hurt?

no.

[He is a liar.]

just panicked most of the time

It's okay to panic. it's okay to not be okay.

but you still helped me anyway.

yeah
just not very convenient

[But since when has any part of him been "convenient" huh?]

your rabbit ok?

[It's enough, even though Cloud doesn't really think he's worth saving. That Tim might've just wasted time for himself reaching out to someone like him.]

yeah. the water stopped so she's back in her cage now.

good
nice of wonderland to make sure that worked out at least

don't know how many times i actually carried her out

but

never really had a pet before. don't wanna screw it up.

how'd you end up with something like that

[Because talking about rabbits is infinitely preferable to talking about drowning kids.]

[Maybe it's small talk at this point, but he'd like to forget just about... everything that had happened. If possible.]

There's a girl here, Riley. Somehow summoned a bunch of rabbits from the closet and was givin them out so.

figured the company would be nice.

not a bad plan.
hopefully wonderland keeps the pets safe even if it won't do the same for us

she probably would've been alright on her own. wasn't thinking clearly.

i don't think anybody was

Are there ever any more pleasant events?

[Just like. Everyone's forced to fish or the mansion turns into a casino. Something nicer.]

not as long as i've been here
sorry.

didn't think so.

it's fine.

[Just... so long as it's a long while from now. A long, long while. He doesn't think he can do something that intense again.]

we'll get a break one of these days maybe.
or someone will have another party.

people here seem to like those

a party might be easier than waitin for somethin to come along, yeah?

long as it doesn't inspire another killing spree

what

happened when i arrived.
there were a bunch of parties going on.
like five people died

now

were these parties

or wonderland's 'parties'.

is there a difference

normal parties: food, drink, friends.

wonderland's parties: whatever the hell just happened this weekend
