[ Brig does not know of this previous sparring session. He forced himself to sleep, autonomic control-induced no less, as agreed with Brother Hikaru. ]
SENT: 01:07 PM Good to hear. Was just worried about you. But if ever you need an ear, or a sparring partner, I'm always free.
[ Their conversations are short as always. So very brief with him always. So very different from how he saw her yesterday with Kaz. He feels the most distant from her.
And yet, she's still important to him. ]
SENT: 01:10 PM Don't be a stranger, okay? You're just as much part of my family as everyone else in the Blade.
[ Why must you text her like this, Brig? It's... it's not fair. She doesn't like you. Your very existence reminds her of whatever it was that destroyed her life at Jotunheim. She shouldn't like you.
Fuck you, Brig. ]
SENT: 01:13 PM That's what the Blade is supposed to be.
