san_buntai | To Erland Eusebius and Vidya Eusebius:

I'll be coming over tomorrow morning, just so you're aware.

....Thank you once more, for letting me stay. |\

The name Vidya Eusebius is null and void. I'm afraid I won't be attending and I shall be cancelling my services with you.

Do feel free to stay with that criminal if you have interest.

...Sorry, we've had some... technical difficulties of a 'Vidya's Brain' nature. -_-;;;

I'll try to get her sorted out here soon.

Vidya... did something stupid, and then did something even more stupid, the latter being taking some emotion/general mental state altering pills that were intended for someone else.

...because she thinks I'm doing something that I'm not, but doesn't understand what's really happening.

I think so. I hope so.

...honestly, with what she's done, I wonder if I should... but I... I don't know. I sort of feel betrayed, and also that I've failed in a way. ...several ways. ...gah, the timing. >_

.........

...she shot me. In the side. ...ironically with something I had her make for her own defense.

...she's... ...I think I put too much burden upon her. I... wanted her to know everything about me. Keep no secrets, no matter what. ...I think... she just... couldn't understand... and she became so scared that she just... couldn't handle it.

...after she shot me, she couldn't hardly move... so she took one of Saiga's pills... ...I trust you know about those?

They also suppress emotions and, honestly, rational thought.

...yes. It's very troublesome. ...I WANT to be mad at her, but I can't help but feel this is more my own fault.

...just so you know, helping Vidya will probably involve tying her up until the drug works its way out of her system.

...what do you think? What should I do?

...I'll do it then. Better I be in the potential line of fire anyway. ...but I might need your help for a few days afterwards. I'll probably be too exhausted to move.

...I could have avoided it. I took a risk that she wouldn't do it, even if I pressured her. ...obviously, I lost.

...thanks, Umu.

....

Vidya... has been very good to try and put up with me, no matter what I do, until now.

...what do you think would happen to her, if I just let her go?
