There's a very long pause before the next message. Shockingly, instead of fear or simply worry... Briar is actually angry?
They've been doing what? Messed up doesn't even begin to describe it! How can they do that? Just because demons might try to rebel? How does that make it right to kill countless people?
Are you all right? What about your family? Your friends?
If peace is possible, then that's good, but it's all still awful. I'm so sorry, Phoenix-san. There must be something I can do...
Apparently the excuse was 'population control', previously. Which is as bullshit as it fucking sounds.
And no, no it doesn't. Friends and family range from 'staying out of it for safety reasons' to 'really fucking unhappy I'm planning on joining up' to 'just as stupid and reckless as I am and therefore taking up the defense'.
I will promise that if I find a way for people on your end to help here I'll let you know.
Please stay safe, Phoenix-san. You're one of the best friends I've made since coming to the Velvet Room, so... If something happened to you, I'd be really upset.
She doesn't want to lose more people she cares about. It's bad enough she lost Kasumi.
Next time you're here, I'll make you a bento. So take care of yourself, OK? But also, stand up for yourself and everyone else! You can do it. I believe in you.
