That annoying blond guy.

... Aventurine?

Right. Yeah.

Huh... um, well, they... definitely weren't here again either-?

Must've been fake, then.

[But they were on our team? And the letters...]

...you heard something as well?

[perking up a little there... he's happy kanda got mail...]

About what?

[Like. The letters, obviously, but he doesn't know what Mathis is referring to specifically]

Um... most of my mail wasn't about anything in particular, except for one. Sort of.

[just general letters and one that's. ???]

Did it tell you to find people and have a weird phrase on it?

Did... what?

[blinking at him...]

N-no, I didn't have any like that. What was yours...?

Oh. [HE JUST ASSUMED but he waves a hand dismissively.] The Rabbit's got mine. What did yours say?

[he fishes out one of his letters and passes it over.

it says "I don't get why everybody is obsessed with you, but please don't die. If you end up here, things will be unbearable. Do me this one favor."]

It was a little surprising to receive...

[that's one way to put it.]

The rest were only personal notes.

What the hell.

I don't know-!

[he's trying so hard not to be worried about it but like

WHAT IS THIS.]

Just ignore it for now. The Rabbit and I didn't get any weird notes about you.

[So it's probably fine...]

I- I am, unless it seems as if I have reason to worry about it later.

[for now it's just a random rude ass letter.]

Um, you said the others were on your team...?

Oh, yeah. Those two, and the fussy doctor.

[Two deadzos and King Depression, they made a great team]

What happened...? Y-you came back so injured.

[but he does sort of assume this is a 'haha you should see the other guy' situation, considering kanda.]

[Uhhhh yeah! Sure!

He mentioned the tournament, so:]

Four on four, until one team lost.

A-and the other team must have been the demons, then-?

No. [God, if only.] They were controlling people we knew.

Th- they were-

[oh. he looks horrified, at that.]

...who?

Pink Braid, Laudna, and the dog. [...] And some others. Not sure who they were.

[There's a stray thought of Lena there, but he doesn't give voice to it.]

Pickles-? Making you fight a dog feels even worse...

[and even if kanda's thoughts sound like he definitely knew who those others were-

the thought he'll catch in return is just he doesn't have to talk about it.]

I- I'm sorry. It must have been difficult for your team, having to... face them that way.

I didn't see him much. The others were dealing with him.

[Kanda was too busy because if I had to kill Pickles Kanda would've instantly spontaneously exploded.

He appreciates that, though--the show of respect, even if he'll never say it.

...At least the ones we chose are safe.]

I didn't see what happened after. You'll have to ask the fussy doctor.
