[ It's an hour or two after the execution that Lacus sets out to find Haruka somewhere on the island. She's talked to other people and collected her own thoughts first, but Haruka's one of her friends here who seems to be from a very normal walk of life. She'd like to know how he's doing, even if he hadn't witnessed the death in person. ]
[Maybe he shouldn't be surprised at Lacus seeking him out, but he still is for just a moment. Still, Lacus is actually kind, and she's not someone he feels he needs to be on edge around.]
Yeah, sure.
[He was decidedly not at the execution earlier, because he knows his limits.]

week 2; after execution
Haruka... Would you like to speak for a moment?
no subject
Yeah, sure.
[He was decidedly not at the execution earlier, because he knows his limits.]
Is there something you need?
no subject
[ Not being at the execution does not protect one for knowing that a death occurred, after all. ]
You haven't had to deal with something like this before, right?
no subject
[It is what it is, even if that means things are awful.]
Are you dealing with everything okay?
no subject
[ It's never going to be okay, or easy, but Lacus thinks she's pretty well-equipped to deal with it. ]
It's not... as unusual and out there for me as it is for you, but resignation is never a good thing. I try not to be numb to it.
