[No stop perceiving him--]

...I wasn't at first. But I've come to accept it.

[Honestly, that still sounds like he's not okay with it. He's just tolerating it for Barrett's sake.]

[He exhales slowly.]

He asked for a name, and I gave him one. He was fine with it.

It's not like he's Lilith. Nobody can be Lilith.

Maybe I wanted a memory of her somewhere more permanent.

Are you sure? It definitely feels like you're projecting, even if you don't mean to.

[This is making him so uncomfortable...]

Is now really the time to argue with him about Lily's name...?

[Though honestly, he's just glad that Barrett's stance hasn't changed regarding separating this Lily from their late sister.]

I'm not the one making it a problem.

[Grumpily staring Shoka down.]

That's not all you care about or you wouldn't be this pissed off.

It matters. Because like you noted, Barrett's acting weird.

[A pointed look at Levi this time.]

I can understand getting mad. But that escalated way past just "pissed."

And I mean... [Ugh.] I'm worried, okay? This isn't like you.

Trust me, I hate this too, but could you at least treat me as a friend and not an enemy right now?

I'm just trying to figure out what's going on.

Well, yeah, but Lily's name's got nothing to do with why I'm worried.

It's this- It's this whole game. It's messing with us! It's made us act weird before and it's doing it again now!

[He doesn't know that for sure, but what else is he supposed to think until they find out more?]

What are we supposed to feel, Shoka?

We told the truth. I told the truth so much my head felt like it was splitting open. And we still were being told that what we believed was lies.

[His own aura of anger doesn't subside, but at least it's down to a simmer, tightening his expressions and keeping every muscle tense.]

I learned enough at that meeting.

[His eyes narrow.] If you have something else to ask, then ask. But if you're here to be angry, are you going to just chew the two of us up?

Will that make you feel better?

I'm not trying to chew you two up, okay?!

I'm mad at this game at messing with us, and I'm-

[Her eyes narrow. She hates, hates, hates anything to do with vulnerability, but if she backs off now, that's just going to make things worse.]

I'm scared, okay?! This game is making people behave in ways they don't normally, and I don't... want to see my friends like this.
