[puritydelusion]

Ha-ha, very funny. All gods have different intents and purposes. The flow of time of which is not my concern. I dropped that responsibility onto your back so I would not have to do it alone. I apologize if such a thing is weighing down on you. Shall I take such a responsibility back?

[barelymanaging]

No, no, I manage just fine, thank you, your holiness.

[managerpsi]

he is unaware he is about to cause a trauma response. he needs to be boiled

[managerpsi]

[ A familiar face is stuck near Psi's office, anxiously pacing about. Two mugs are left at Psi's doorstep - Chi had been waiting for God knows how long waiting for Psi to open the door, so they figured he was just off doing fieldwork. But with how he was recently, they weren't comfortable just leaving. In a final attempt of hopefully locating Psi, they yell out into the hallway. ]

"Psi? Psi, are you out there?"

[ Mermaid boy is walking around the facility, conveniently skipping over to the hallway where his office is located once Chi starts yelling. Not exactly being able to tell who the voice belongs to, he tilts his head. ]

"Hmmhmm~ Who's there?"

[barelymanaging]

"It's Chi .. Remember the tea we were supposed to have? I.. Brought some. I don't know what kind you like, so I just.. Kept it simple."

[ They turn to face Psi when they hear his voice, immediately jolting just a bit when seeing him. ]

"You ... Look different."

[managerpsi]

"Oh, Chi! Sorry for not seeing you yesterday! Although that... may have been for the better."

[ He still needs to write apologies to all of the families of those Clerks... whatever, that's for later. ]

"I've actually never had tea before, so I'm fine with any~"

[barelymanaging]

"That's fine, we all need our days alone."

[ Chi shakes their head, offering Psi a cup ]

"It's green tea, with a spoon of honey. Makes It a bit more sweet. Hope you enjoy it... A co-worker introduced me to it."

[ They... seem much more stable since the last time the two talked — but who knows if that's authentic, or just a facade at this point. ]

[managerpsi]

"Wasn't really me needing an alone day. I just... actually lets ignore this for now!"

[ He takes the cup and just. Sips the entire thing in one go. ]

"Hmmm~ This isn't bad!"

[barelymanaging]

[ Chi hums, falling into thought as they watch Psi, biting their lower lip. ]

"...Psi, what did you do?"

[managerpsi]

[ ... he awkwardly walks into the office and walks back out with the end-of-day thingy for Day 47. Holy fuck that's a lot of dead Clerks. ]

[barelymanaging]

[ Chi skims through the summary, the color draining from their face — nothing but sheer horror replacing it instead. They suddenly can't find their voice anymore; but words didn't need to be spoken anymore. ]

"Christ, Psi... Did you at least try rewinding?"

[managerpsi]

"I was in too much of a blind rage to do anything..."

[barelymanaging]

"Blind rage?"

[ Chi nearly spits the words, furrowing their brows, and baring their teeth like a threatened animal. ]

"You think that's a fucking excuse?! What do you think we have the T-Protocols for? Or is it simply too late in your goddamn line to care about pay cuts to you anymore, huh?"

[ They're yelling now — clearly, Psi's nonchalance of it all struck a nerve. Tears well up in Chi's eyes as they continue. ]

"What the fuck happened, Psi? What happened to you?! Where's your goddamn humanity gone?"
