[Kanda's not really sentimental enough for that (rather, it's antithetical to parts of his job, one of the ways this situation differs from back home)--but.]

It's just a matter of time. [Before the monster-aligned person goes out of control, he thinks, because he doesn't know that we don't always get fun last-minute drama explosions. But we did this time, so he can continue to talk like he knows how this works for one more week.]

[undread]

[that's fine. she's very sentimental, but her mind can change on people quickly, too.]

That as well. [she frowns.] I think anyone who turns into a monster should be stopped, generally speaking. [if kate is a monster we should just keep her around forever as a cute little monster pal, but otherwise, get 'em.] Because I don't want to be killed. But some people... it frightens them, because they've been hunted before.

I admit I fall into that category! [brightly] I've been driven off as a witch or a monster more than once by small minded people. But I'd like to think you're more thoughtful in your approach than that.

[SO TRUE. If Kate transforms we will simply put her in air jail until she calms down.]

...Humans are scared of everything. [Thanks Kanda. After a moment:] The Order sends people out to investigate unusual phenomena. They only send us if they need us.

[So she's right--he usually knows where he's going and what he's looking for. Anything else isn't his concern. He isn't sympathetic enough to let an Akuma live even if it seems like it's just minding its own business, but--it's all a little more complicated than he makes it sound, and that's almost never the case anyway, so it's a moot point.]

They are! A easily frightened bunch. I believe that's why some of us find a crowd of humans making decisions quite unsettling.

[but that's a relief! so yay for kanda.]

[Historically humans have made lots of incredibly bad decisions, so honestly he agrees. But for now he isn't super concerned, because Boothill's transformation aligned with what he's used to for murderous monsters wearing friendly faces, so he doesn't have much reason to think it won't happen like that again.

More than anything, the problem is--]

If those three take too long, we'll all end up dead. [Or at the whims of their summoned monster, which is also not great.] But I don't know how to get around them with the fog in the way.

[It's irritating, having to sit back and wait for orders from people he doesn't know or have much faith in.]

[she runs her fingers through her hair.]

I know. I want it to go faster. I'm not brave like you; I don't have any confidence in my strength when I don't have my power. But I don't like waiting around.

[sixillusions]

[Normally he'd say something about how it isn't about bravery, so much as simply choosing to try and live--but those are conversations he has with people who are well-trained fighters, and he doesn't want to encourage senseless recklessness.]

I don't think they're blocked forever. [Their powers, he means. He looks down at his arm, frowning slightly.] But we should make sure.

[Because if they're not blocked forever, then there might be a way to get them back--otherwise, they'll have to figure something else out.]

[undread]

[nodding...]

I would really like mine back.

[sixillusions]

Me too.

[Some of them, at least. Life's hard when you can't summon a bunch of bugs to attack people.]
