[where is kanda recovering? is he at the haunted house or somewhere else? laudna will come find him.]

[sixillusions]

[He's back at the house, yeah! It's a bit early for curfew, but the swamp takes a lot out of a person and he's tired after All That anyway. But he's cleaned up and back in his normal clothes, with his exorcist coat buttoned up. There's light burn scarring on his face, plus his left ear is missing, but he doesn't seem to be in intense pain, and whatever effects he's got aren't as immediately obvious as the shivering and the wheezing. That's probably fine.

His golem is also here now!! It's tucked into his collar and peering up at him with its big eye; Kanda doesn't seem bothered by its presence there as he eats a bowl of instant soba at the table.]

Hello, Kanda.

[the fact that he got in the swamp at all is a relief.]

Are you alright? Do you need anything?

[sixillusions]

[Sometimes passing out from blood loss makes things better for everyone, really.

He nods at her in greeting!!]

I'm fine. It doesn't hurt. [Y...ay!! Though he pauses in eating, staring at his food for a minute.]

...Were you here? [That's what they said, but...]

[undread]

Here? You mean at the house?

[hmmm.]

I haven't been at the house all day, but most of it.

[sixillusions]

...So you weren't in the tournament.

[It's not that he thought others were lying, but. For her, especially, it's hard to believe that she's been safely here the whole time.]

[undread]

...No. I haven't been anywhere like that.

[sixillusions]

Alright. Good. [She's alive for real, then.

...

Or whatever.]

[undread]

Well. In a manner of speaking...

[he was worried about her? 🥺 ]

I suppose you saw a lot of things that weren't precisely real, just as the others did.

[sixillusions]

[No he doesn't have feelings or friends don't look at him shhh]

Mm. People keep saying that. [It just felt like a real fight.]

[undread]

Well. I haven't been. But I know Geto and Totty and the others saw things that related to me.

It was very confusing, at first. But gradually, I realized it was just some inexplicable trick of this place.

[sixillusions]

...Right. That woman they killed. [Delilah. He remembers.]

...We saw some people who'd died here, too.

[undread]

Really?

[...]

May I ask what happened?

[sixillusions]

Demons had a tournament. [As one does.] Teams of four facing off. Me and the fussy doctor had Cloud and Frog Eyes on ours.

[Who in the hell is Frog Eyes, Kanda]

You were on the other team, in the second round.

[undread]

Who is Frog Eyes...

[sixillusions]

The blond guy who got killed a few weeks ago. The annoying one.

[undread]

Oh. Him.

[she's glad he specified cloud was also there because process of elimination helps.]

And all of you had to kill a bunch of women?

[at least to hear daan say it. how problematic.]

[sixillusions]

[Cloud has rights because he's Kanda But Better.]

I fought a guy, the first round. [But otherwise yeah it was lady power hours. Kind of.] The dog showed up too, in the second round.
