[ hey! here's a rex, at the edge of the bubble, just. standing there. throwing rocks as hard as he can out of the bubble.
Amparo, in dog form, is trying to distract him, alternating between attempts at getting him to play with her and trying to make him give her lots of pets and cuddles. But no. Rex is just here, throwing his rocks out the bubble. ]
Why, though? Don't you have, like, I dunno, fun kid stuff to be doing?
[ he's not even trying to get rid of her, he just. genuinely doesn't understand. and, frankly, feels uncomfortable having his angry tantrum suddenly being Witnessed by a child. ]
Maybe not, but...you don't have to see everything yourself, you know. [ rex thinks that maybe watching two people fight to the death is a liiiiiittle much for a baby. ]
People might lie. People here are killing each other. We don't know who will do it next. So to make sure I get the truth, I would have to ask more than one person...
[ please, you think i'm gonna be able to come up with anything better than that??
anyway, Rex is in the process of winding up for a pebble throw when the memory hits, startling him such that when he comes out of it, the pebble barely even makes it into the canal. ]
[ Wow! Haha okay! So that memory sure was deeply fucked up, but between what snatches of dialogue he could hear from Rika back then, and the halfassed way she's trying to cover for it now...it makes her mighty suspicious sounding.
of what, he has no clue, but something ain't right here. ]
[ rika is used to being able to just say ominous shit and then do kitty paws and go nya and walk away, but that doesn't work as well when you have no exit plan and someone has seen your memories.
she hates this, actually!! but there's also a part of it that's very amusing to her. ]
... It was five years ago.
This time around, that woman came crying to me, apologizing for having ever considered killing me.
