[So Nessa is....not doing great. She had a fracas with Svetka during that whole feather thing, her monster came out, she got hit with a club, it wasn't great. But any injuries she suffered can be, and at this point likely have already been healed, but uh....
That was a couple days ago, and even if she has been fully healed by this point, she's still, like, barely conscious. She hasn't left Echidna -- today she at least managed to get herself out of bed and onto a couch, but that seems to be an exercise of pure gumption rather than any kind of an improvement in her condition.]
[She has her phone, so she can text people at least. But whatever's wrong with her...healing isn't helping, The Lovers isn't helping and time just seems to be making it worse.]
[ on her end, as well. seconds tick by, turn into minutes, and her grip on the phone tightens and tightens, and her heart tightens and tightens, as she waits. just in case Nessa is going to respond first.
and she doesn't. ]
I am difficult woman. I am not good friend and not good teacher, and always my actions are laced with tiefling misfortune. It was never like this before, but this is way it is now. So I am sorry for what I have done to you. One day this dream will be over, and it will not happen again.
[ Minato is honestly in and out of Echidna a lot due to a certain boyfriend of his, so it doesn't take too long before he sees her there--and frowns, expression concerned. ]

I wanted to apologize. [ that is so notably not an answer, and she only hopes Nessa won't call her out on it ] For what my oni did to you.

I apologize for intruding on your private conversation.
Nessa is not ignoring you.
She has not responded because she has fallen unconscious.

What?

I have been attempting to rouse her. It's not working.

Nessa-san? Hey... are you...
[ "okay?" That's a stupid question, isn't it? ]
no subject
[Huff.]
Get from my bed to this couch.
I think I got messed up in that fight with Svetka...
no subject
Has... someone's already healed you, right?
no subject
[I'm not sure who, but, lol, let's not worry about that.]
I'm all healed, but.
I still feel....
[She lifts her arm up and drops it right back down.]
Like that.
no subject
Of course, Nessa already knows that, he's sure, so it's not going to help anyone for him to say that.

How long have you been feeling like this...?
no subject
...I guess I've been having some trouble sleeping...since....
[She blinks a couple times and it looks like she's nodding off.]
no subject
Yeah. He'll let her nod off and go rummage around in Echidna's little kitchenette while she does, so he's not just sitting there staring at her. ]
