[ weh. this is allowed. he's got a little bit of a smile for her in greeting, ducking his head - though there's something just sad, in vax's expression. ]
You're probably right...but not knowing is still frustrating.
[ hateful ] It's cruel, making people commit murder against their own will. I'm not sure what kind of level of enjoyment it gets from doing that, but regardless...
[ that anger feels familiar. vax feels the same - his emotions have been an internalized torrent for the past two hours, thus his escape to the roof to brood like a bird.
he huffs, softly - ruby will probably be able to feel it. ]
I hate it, too. Hate it for whoever we didn't catch, and for 9S. [ with a little wry not-quite amusement: ] I can't wait to find whatever monster-god-whatever-the-fuck-it-is that's in charge of this place and put a dagger in its throat.

she puts a hand over his.]
We'll fight this, together, til the very end. None of us are truly alone here, we have each other's back.
