The Firstforged claim they're some kind of gods. What an exaggeration that is.
[Thank you, Kagerou. And don't you sound bitter today. Granted, he's been bitter about all this since Perceptor vanished... but recently, everything has sort of come to a head. He can't keep it down anymore.]
They want us to build. They want us to run their world, and behave like peaceable little children.
And what do we get in return?
Murdered. Lied to. Misdirected. Our work ruined. Criminals running amok. Empty promises.
[As he says the last words, his fingers clench around his arm, around the Glyph.]
They want us to trust them -- but these Firstforged are nothing like they say they are. They tell us they can't control who leaves and who stays, but, then they turn around and tell us we're safe with their markings! They don't care one bit, what happens to us! If they did...
[If they did, I would be able to do what I was promised I could...]
[His hand lifts, revealing the very elaborate, intricate Glyph -- his status is showing, and boy does he look unhappy about it.]
If their reward for our service is loss and death, I would rather not have their mark at all!

ACTION
[His expression is nothing short of stunned. But he bows his head forward again, reaching out to grip one of PJ's shoulders with his hand.]
... I'm going to hold you to this. Do you understand?
ACTION
If only because he's not used to this. It's new.]
You got it. I never leave my team hanging.
ACTION
[It's grounding, someone being here. He just never thought it would be one of the Brave Police offering comfort.]
... then. Will you stay?
Here. Just for a little while longer.
ACTION
Uh...sure.
If you...want.
[He leans back, next to Kagerou, although a bit awkwardly.]
ACTION
[PJ, you're the best he's got.]
... there's a tarp if you want to get comfortable.
["Thank you", in other words.]
ACTION
[Because he's going to go about this the manly way. Because in a way...PJ needed Kagerou right now too. He just was better at hiding it.]
Just...power down, okay? You're not doing anything by overrunning your systems.
ACTION
[If someone is going to stay... maybe it's all right to shut down.]
... Just for a while. A little while.
