At What Price Respect
Verity in the forum? Not a strange sight. Verity without coffee? Rather less common. Verity slumping, exhausted, into a couch? Unusual. Verity covered in scrapes, bruises, and dust? Definitely strange.
"Help isn't if it's forced on someone. This is true. Someone not in possession of all of the facts cannot give fully informed consent. This is also true. But nobody can be forced to listen." Of course Verity has things on her mind. Who here doesn't? "How do you reconcile that? Is ignorance truly bliss? Or do you do what's needed to save someone despite their choices?"
((A note before you come to play with Verity: she's got a magic spell stuck in her that lets her always know when someone is lying to her. This includes sarcasm and knowing when someone believes something to be true when it isn't. This doesn't include lies of omission. She can also see through illusions. Please respect this; if your character is trying to lie to her, please make that known so she can react appropriately. [I completely understand this isn't going to be everyone's idea of fun.] Thanks.))

This has been one hell of a day for them both. He'll shut the light off and pull the door mostly shut before heading back to the living room. Picking up the bowls of long forgotten soup and cleaning up.
Going into Tatsuya's room isn't...really an option, after all of this. He settles back in on the couch and tries not to think too hard about what is happening to Verity's world, if it hasn't already. it keeps him awake for longer than he'd like, but not indefinitely. There's someone else in the apartment, and just knowing that makes him feel better.
He's asleep within half an hour.
