[He can't help the slight sad echo to his voice when he responds.]

Yeah, she was-- my friend.

[This won't be easy.]

I'm so sorry, but she died a while ago.

text;

[perfero]

[She's sticking to text for the moment.]

Do you have any other information? How she died? When?

[armoured]

Yeah, she died on day fifty four, that's... over a hundred days ago now.

[Wow, so long.]

I don't know exactly how it happened, I wasn't with her at the time. Nobody was.

[perfero]

[It is really annoying that no one knows how she died.]

I see. Thank you anyways.

[armoured]

I'm so sorry.

[It's all he can offer, but at least it's genuine.]

Are-- Were you a friend of hers?

[perfero]

We attended the same school.

[So yes, she is like 14 years old.]

[armoured]

[That's okay, he's only fifteen and sounds like he's ten.]

I'm sorry.

[It's so useless and he sounds like a broken record, but what else can he offer her?]

[perfero]

It's fine. Do you know anything about the morgues? I was told her body might be at one.

[armoured]

It probably is, but it's not a good idea to go looking. The morgues are dangerous and-- is that really how you want to remember her?

[perfero]

Sentimentality is a waste of time here. I need to see her body for myself.

[armoured]

...that sounds almost exactly like something Mami would have said.

[perfero]

I doubt that.

[Mami was a sentimental fool.]

[armoured]

No, really.

[He sounds almost fond.]

She was always telling me off for being too soft.

[perfero]

Then she's a hypocrite as well.

[armoured]

Hey--! I don't think you should speak ill of the dead like that.

[perfero]

Why?

[armoured]

Because she's not here to defend herself.

[perfero]

It would be pointless for her to if she were alive.

[armoured]

Why would you say that?

[Don't be picking on dead Mami!]

[perfero]

If she were here she would know I'm right.

[armoured]

But she's not, so please don't speak ill of her. She was my friend, the least I can do is defend her memory.

[perfero]

Do what you want.

[armoured]

[He huffs, frustrated, but he can't just leave it.]

...take care out there, okay?

[Whatever she says about Mami, all newcomers need a word of support.]

[perfero]

Of course.
