[ GOTTA START CHEERY!! though he looks absolutely terrible with his hair messed up, and his eyebags... not to mention it looks like he hasn't shaved in a few days. BLAME THE EVENT, REALLY. ]

Hey, Weiss. Got some time for me?

[heiroglyphs]

[Oh no. Not Tadashi. She knows exactly what this is about, and she has not been looking forward to this. Weiss herself isn't looking that great. Her makeup and hair are done, but even that does little to hide the bags under her eyes. It's amazing how much guilt can impact someone's sleep.]

Tadashi, I... I'm so sorry.

[bropane]

Am I really the one you should be apologising to? [ it's a joke, and he truly means well, but there's a subtle jab at weiss right there.

he rubs the back of his neck and looks at the camera awkwardly. ]

Are you better now?

[heiroglyphs]

I-I've already spoken to Hiro. And no, not really...

[She looks down at her hands, folded into her lap.]

[bropane]

[ he doesn't know about how the masks affected everybody yet, considering he himself didn't realise that he was being controlled by the masks, so... ]

Well, whatever it was, and whatever it is, I hope you'll feel better.

[ a beat, then he looks away. ]

I don't think Hiro would ever hold a grudge against you, but it's okay to feel bad about what happened. Just remember to forgive yourself, too.

[heiroglyphs]

I don't know if that's in my skillset.

[She tries to crack a smile, but it... doesn't really come out right. Like the corners of her mouth are being weighted towards the ground.

As someone who has always been her greatest critic, Weiss has a hard time forgiving herself for anything.]

[bropane]

[ at least you don't look like a serial killer when you smile, weiss. that's saying a lot.

and tadashi smiles softly, for both of them. ]

I'm sure you can do it. It's not my place to say anything, since we barely know each other, but I know you're great.

You can do something like that.

[ hiro wouldn't be your friend, otherwise. ]

[heiroglyphs]

[Ugh Tadashi why do you have to be so positive when she's wallowing in self-pity. She tried to kill your brother, it would be so much easier if you just hated her.

She's great, huh?]

I'll... do my best. No promises.

[bropane]

[ hate is such a deep feeling to have. no matter who it is or what's happened, he could never hate anybody. ]

Cool. And cheer up.

Ever had pizza before?

[heiroglyphs]

[Weiss would be jealous of his conviction. There are plenty of people she hates.]

Pizza? Of course, why?

[bropane]

[ cuz u salty, weiss... ]

Oh, just asking. Some people didn't know what pizza was until I introduced it to them.

It's my comfort food, [ said with a laugh. he's talking too much, please stop him, weiss. ] And I'm a little bit better after eating some.

Maybe eating your comfort food might make you feel better.

[heiroglyphs]

It has been a while since I've had any coffee.

[IS THAT COMFORT FOOD IDEK]

[bropane]

[ what... ever floats your boat, weiss... ]

There's a good cafe in the residential district. I forgot what it's called, but there's a giant cat outside it.
