[ Tsukasa can find her lying on the ground somewhere. Melting. Becoming one with the ground. She's covered in flour. Don't ask why]
[You know, he's not processing The Horrors well, but he's at least shoving them under the rug to not look at them too closely--
But.
Things did just go crazy, and when he sees her on the floor, of course he assumes the worst.
And yelps as he zooms over.]
Don Quixote?!
[She's already turning white... like a ghost..... (it's flour, Tsukasa).]

[She's already turning white... like a ghost..... (it's flour, Tsukasa).]
Ahh...Young Tsukasa, I am seeing stars. They spin in circles and circles...
[There's an empty bag of flour next to her and a fallen stool. Looks like she got knocked out?]

Hnnngh...my lack of vertical placement in the world hath truly foiled me today. [Don Quixote sits up with Tsukasa's help and promptly starts sneezing]
AAAACHOOO! [Sniff] The bag of flour was a little more out of my reach than I hath believed.

[He immediately reaches into his pocket for a handkerchief, because of course these princely school outfits have them.
Which he offers.]
... Oh. I see. You were trying to grab the flour and fell.
[... whew.]
I was really worried, you know! You should be more careful! [After the Horrors.]
Here, I'll help clean up.

[Ah, a true prince. She takes it and wipes her face]
Truly, Young Tsukasa thy's kindness is incomparable.
[ she is Moved]

[While she does that, he'll go hunting for a broom to start sweeping this mess up.
And with broom in hand, of course he will strike a pose.]
But of course! How could I be an ever-reliable big brother and upperclassman if not for that?
[Beaming!!!
And now he'll come over to start sweeping up the flour.]

Verily, thy actions prove thine self worthy of that title.
[ Once Tsukasa has the broom and she's less flour coated, she'll get the mop and bucket. Cleaaann]

I am well in body and my mind is clear. Thank thee for asking
[ Mop mop mop. Hm.]
...did mine actions trouble thee?
[ Mop mop mop. Hm.]
...did mine actions trouble thee?
[He bends to scoop up whatever's left of that bag of flour, carefully rolling the top of it closed.
Hm...]
Well, I was definitely worried...! It, er... it... was a bit surprise.
But then you ran off, and it seemed like you got the worst of it, so... I was worried.

[It takes him some time to venture out again.
He's shaken still, of course, but...
He also needs some air. Or "air". Whatever passes for fresh air in this place.
So he wanders out into the courtyard, and grimaces to have found himself here, with the rows and rows of gravestones. He's... frozen, unable to move forward, and unable to leave.
And completely unaware that someone else is out here too.]

[It is not the worst corpse Don Quixote has encountered. Indeed, with her memories returned to her, she holds the memory of giant bloodfiends dripping with waterfalls of blood sinking their teeth into unfortunate human corpses that take shape starkly in her mind. Her own body, flayed to shreds earlier on. The cruelty of N-Corporation.
But, she had not known those people. But she did know Lavi, as brief as their acquaintanceship had been.
And she knows that not all had seen what she had seen, and needed comfort for they were just civilians. And what was a Great Fixer to do but protect them?]
Young Tsukasa!
[She calls out and crosses the courtyard in a few quick steps]
'Tis not a good decision to be on your own.
[Hand on your shoulder. Come on, friend.]
Art thou feeling unwell?

[...She reach up on her tippytoes and pat Tsukasa's head. Good boy]
...truly, thou art kind. I am...managing, as best I can. The shame of what I hath wrought on everyone cannot be erased so I must merely do mine best to make amends.

[Ah.
He jumps at her calling out to him, and then she's there, resting a hand on his shoulder. For a moment, he just stares at her, surprise plain on his face.
And then he swallows, and can't seem to muster a smile.]
Oh--no. No, I'm... fine!
[Probably.
... Wait, she's out here too. So...]
Are you... also okay?

[She's got centuries on you!! Technically, she should have always been the big siter so it's about time she got to play this role]
...maybe so, but a Fixer doth not look away from their mistakes. So I shall taketh these lessons to heart and apply them wisely.

Yes. 'Tis currently my greatest wish to uncover the truth, and expose such villainy to the world. A Fixer doth not look away from evils.
[She'll take her detective hat off, and put it on Tsukasa's head]
Thou needs not to trouble thyself with falsehoods. If thou is in pain, speaketh clearly. I will support you, Tsukasa.

[Oh, she called him out so easily. That's so... not star-like of him at all.
He blinks as the hat is plopped on his head, and quietly, he reaches up to gently touch the fabric.]
I, ah--seem to have worried you...! But really, I'm... [Fine.
He hesitates, frowning.]
... It was just a surprise. I didn't think someone would really... [Do it.]

[tears in her eyes]
I am moved by your keen curiosity for no one hath ever asked me before--

UOOOOOOOOOOOOOHH!!! Verily, I shall giveth a lecture into the history of Fixers within the City-!
[passion: unlocked]
A Fixer is a figure of justice and hope all throughout the City, nay, the entire world! They fulfil many roles, depending on the Office or Association they serve, and the most grand Fixers are the Color Fixers, whose powers transcend such trappings! Fixers can do anything! They investigate crimes, protect the weak, uphold justice in seas of treachery! They battle with monsters that befall the City, indeed, there is nothing a Fixer cannot uphold!
[She WILL give Tsukasa a history of every Fixer Office and Association if left unhinged]

I understand. Thy heart is too kind to witness such horrific actions. 'Tis hath been truly cruel. [She looks at Lavi's grave. Empty still, surely] The Dramaturge Esquire's warnings still echo in mine heart.
