... I'm frustrated, too. [ there's a twist to her mouth ] We don't know what's going on, or how to stop it, and the same thing is going to happen again next week.
[ preens still petting: ] I know, right? [ but she follows up a little more hesitant: ] I wanted to help a friend of mine. She's... in danger, right now, and I wanted to protect her.
[ a little vague but she shrugs and starts braiding yuel's hair ]
[ it's quiet, and grace shakes her head before going right back to braiding ]
So that's why neither of us can die, right? We'll just have to make sure that's not an option. Either by helping find killers, or just being really good at protecting ourselves.
If you're taking on an enemy of unknown size and strength, it's better to try and trap them first or try to confront them from a distance.
[ it's stated idly, but at Yuel's comment, she smiles a little, fond? ]
I'd try to protect you, too. [ she's finished one braid so she's doing a new one ] Wanna spend next Thursday with me, then? It's probably going to be me, Takeru and Mineo in the room this time, but I've got the loft part to myself.
[ Okay that's it. Yuel is very much enjoying Grace playing with her hair, but she has to turn around and pull her into a hug squeezing her for a moment before drawing back.
And pressing a kiss to her cheek. ]
... Thanks. I'll come find ya on Thursday then. Maybe... we can set up a trap or something. Protection for even while we're sleepin'.
Obviously. [ in a matter of fact tone, like? clearly? they're amazing? ignoring all facts ] It's just a matter of getting the upper hand on them. So long as we're prepared, we'll be fine.
That's right. We're only gonna get smarter and smarter from here.
[ thinks back to kaz-is-a-toblerone theory... are they getting smarter?
Anyway, it's time to cuddle, Yuel is going to brush her hair over her shoulder so that she doesn't disturb the brain before leaning against Grace's side. ]

[ well, grace will go closer and just hug yuel? ]
Things'll be okay. [ it's a little bit of an empty platitude, but listen ]

Yuel is definitely going to enjoy the hug for a moment, appreciating the closeness before she sits back, wiping at her eyes. ]
I know... [ she shifts her attention for a moment. ] What's the number on yer arm?
no subject
It's from the train. All passengers get one. It's a mark of strength; the higher your number, the stronger you are. That's why I'm the leader.

Really? [ looks immediately impressed ] Ain't that pretty amazin'? What did ya wish fer when ya came here?
no subject
[ a little vague but she shrugs and starts braiding yuel's hair ]
What about you?
no subject
It's the same for me. One of my friends is in danger and I... just wanna make sure I'm strong enough to save her.
[ ... ]
If I die here, so will she.

Bring stuff you think can help? I've got a couple of things hoarded away already for that.

Got it. If Grell was killed out of self-defense, then we can outsmart any killers too.
