I think I actually died in that first nuclear strike, but other than that, yeah, for someone who got blown up because NASA thought a nuclear bomb attack was a meteor shower, I'm doing just fine.
[ no one is doing fine, which is more than natural given everything that happened. Kaneki isn't either, but he is the adult here and he didn't contact Veronica to talk about himself, in the end. He is a lot more worried about her state than his ]
I'm sorry. Things in this place are never easy, but this was something else. [ this sort of escalation was abnormal, even for their enemies ] Do you wish to talk about it? I can stop, if you want.
[Talking about her issues is Veronica's least favorite thing to do, unfortunately, so she huffs out a breath.]
I meant it when I said I'm fine, despite how fucked up it is. There's a lot of people who got it worse than I did. [cough Poe Dameron cough] What about you? Are you okay?
Yes, I know. But you can't compare to other people, if you feel bad, then you feel bad regardless of how others feel and that doesn't invalidate your situation.
I'm alright. [ kaneki is always alright, even when he is not. Despite his words, he invalidates his own suffering all the time ]

[No she isn't.]

Because repeating a Monday over and over is bound to fuck someone up in some way.
Do you need any company?
[ text ]
I was just a bit worried. if you need to take some days off let me know.

[This is absolutely a lie, Veronica knows Nonah well enough to make her way around it if she needs to, but they both need the company, so.]
Don't worry about me. I'll be fine.

Alright, we can go people-watch together if you want to. I certainly won't mind the company, either.
