WHAT in person
WHERE the... cemetery?
WHEN day ""136""

[somewhere in cam... cour... uh, qm, there appears to be a new plot of land—some overgrown with weeds and other weed-adjacent plants, and some with towering oak trees and the like, and some with just perfect patches of freshly mowed and manicured grass...

also

there are tombstones every scattered all over this area, with the name of your father or father-figure on them, regardless of whether or not they are here or dead or here-dead.

yeeeeesh.]

[willnotwatch]

I would be surprised if you did.

[morethanyou]

It's so manipulative!

[willnotwatch]

Yes. That appears to be a theme here. I can't say I've been very good at avoiding suggestion.

[morethanyou]

...

What do you want to do, here?

[willnotwatch]

Do you mean in the more general sense, or with these gravestones?

[morethanyou]

Let's just deal with the latter for the moment!

[willnotwatch]

I'm not sure there's more we can do. I was simply busying myself, to be honest.

[morethanyou]

You weren't going to say anything to... them?

[willnotwatch]

...

[sort of sitting on his ass now, floppy] I'm not sure where I would start.

[morethanyou]

Then let's go. You can pray anywhere if you think of something. I don't want to play this game.

[he lingers for another moment before hauling himself up, reaching out to drape an arm around her]

You were always the reasonable one.

[morethanyou]

That is absolutely true.

[giving him a little side-squeeze before she starts to lead him out of the graveyard]

[willnotwatch]

[still a little dejected, but he follows along easily]

How are you?

[morethanyou]

I'm holding up! My lab is starting to take shape. Peter has been a big help.

[willnotwatch]

Has he.

[FROWN]

[morethanyou]

Yes, he has. Why does that bother you?

[willnotwatch]

It doesn't bother me.

[he says, hackles up]

[morethanyou]

Very convincing.

[willnotwatch]

I'm glad to hear you have good company.

[morethanyou]

Are you all worked up because he has a crush on me or what?

[willnotwatch]

Who said anything about a crush?

[morethanyou]

I did. Just now. I'm not blind.

[willnotwatch]

...

[sighs, but starts to smile]

[morethanyou]

[pats his back]

How are you?

[willnotwatch]

... How would the Americans put it?

Ah, yes. I feel like shit.
