Week 4: Monday

[housewolf]

[At least the despair indulgence went away!

Maybe they run into each other at the grocery store, even if the groceries are... not great...]

Feeling any better?

[holeful]

[Fukuda actually seems a little taller and maybe it's just that he seemed shorter than usual because of how much his Depression was weighing him down and making him slouch.]

I am! I almost feel better than before, but maybe that's just a sort of elastic effect?
[After feeling so low, going back to normal feels incredible.]

[housewolf]

[Aww, his serial killer friend is feeling better.]

It's possible. We were suffering through it for a whole week.

[Which was truly miserable, when it was Envy, Pride and Despair. Just wild.]

[holeful]

Mm. I mean, I'm still sad that you have to be here. But now I'm able to focus more easily on how happy I am to get to talk to you more.
[Which he knows is selfish but... he can't do anything to change the situation, so?]

[housewolf]

Haha... At least there are pluses to all of this.

[They're in envy because they're selfish. Like Omi said before, he doesn't hold this against him.]

It's nice to see you again too.

[Even if most people don't consider it a plus.]

[holeful]

Haha, well I don't k-
[Stops. Frowns.]

... It really is nice to have friends. If this setting wasn't so terrible I wouldn't mind being dead at all, really....

[housewolf]

[Huh. What was that about?]

Yeah... This version of death is a lot different than I was imagining. I could probably deal if the food wasn't like this.

[holeful]

Well... it was worse when I got here. I think things will keep getting better as long as we keep indulging.

[housewolf]

Want to help me with that?

[holeful]

[Ah.... looks away.]

I... I don't think that's a good idea.

[housewolf]

...?

Why?

[holeful]

Well, I mean, I know what you said to Grell, but the situation with Satoru and all...

[Why does he think he can get away with saying vague shit like this.]

[housewolf]

Fukuda, you need to tell me what you mean.

[holeful]

You, me, and Mr Douman had some things in common... Even if I'm not a demon, there's still that thing wrong with me, isn't there?

[housewolf]

We did.

[He'll reach out and take Fukuda's hand, if he'll let him.]

Honestly, I think you need help. I don't think you're a bad person.

[holeful]

[He hesitates but he does take it.]

Help?
[What sort of help does Omi mean exactly.]

[housewolf]

People who care about you and want to help you... Friendship, basically.

[holeful]

Haha, well I have that now, don't I?

[Soft.... he likes Omi so much.]

[housewolf]

You do.

[A little squeeze to their hands.]

[holeful]

Even so.... I'm worried I might hurt you. Sometimes I think the idea of indulging in "envy" gets stuck in my head.

[He has vaguely expressed a desire to do that before, after all???]

[housewolf]

... You have said that before. But you haven't hurt me this whole time.

[holeful]

You could have said that about Mr Douman too before a few days ago, though... And the more I like you the more dangerous it feels.

[housewolf]

It's not like we can die again here.

[But it will hurt.]

I could stop you, if it came to that.

[holeful]

...

[He forgot about Omi's cool muscles.]

I suppose so, but wouldn't you be mad at me for trying?

[housewolf]

I'd probably be a little mad.
