[The thoughts do not deter him, he just walks right in.]

The story?

[ercnerd]

[Bradley's entry breaks his train of thought as Sieghart looks over his shoulder.

Oh, was it aloud? I thought I was alone.]

How are the others doing?

[battling]

It's the thought share thing this week.

The kid from winter's gonna be fine... probably? So that's a plus.

[ercnerd]

. . . So I've heard.

The timing's good. If it works as intended, we don't have to worry about expulsion tomorrow.

[battling]

Yeah. We can just focus on gettin' outta here.

[ercnerd]

What's the first thing you're going to do once we're back?

[battling]

[Make sure Mandricardo's okay.]

Eat some fresh fried chicken.

[ercnerd]

Hmm . . . why not both?

[battling]

What?

[ercnerd]

Have you already forgotten?

[He taps his temple with his index finger.]

It's this week.

[battling]

It ain't always happenin'.

[ercnerd]

It does seem to strike at the most inopportune moments.

Should I forget what I heard?

[battling]

Nah. I ain't embarrassed about it.

[Has he ever been embarrassed at all though?]

[ercnerd]

Then you should do both. Don't you think he might appreciate it?

[battling]

Yeah. He's been havin' a real rough run of it. Can't help gettin' worried here.

[ercnerd]

All the more reason to get out of here as soon as we can. Seeing you and Wang Lu is sure to raise his spirits.

[battling]

I'm sure he'd rather spend time with his boyfriend.

[ercnerd]

For the first day, sure. Then how about the next day?

[battling]

He can have whatever he'd like.

[ercnerd]

Oh, good answer.

[battling]

He deserves it after all this.

[ercnerd]

He's one lucky guy to have such considerate friends.

[battling]

And you? What's the first thing ya wanna do?

[ercnerd]

Hmm . . .

If I can't cut the source of everyone's hardship in half right away, I'll take a nap in my dorm.

[battling]

[Snorts]

Haven't had enough of naps over here?
