.... Was this before curfew?

[ phoenix is thinking this over... ]

[unanswering]

No, after... I came across him when I left the conservatory, and he said since we were both awake, we should stay together. To be safer.

[slobjection]

You didn't wonder why you were awake..? Or were you anticipating the attack?

[unanswering]

I assumed I was awake because I was going to die.

[a little shake of his head, there-]

So it seemed best to stick together... but he started getting more violent with me, trying to push me away from him, and I was too scared to let go-- that was when I thought he might kill me.

[slobjection]

Glad you're still with us.

[ he might not sound entirely sincere, but he is. ]

Guess your instinct was right on the mark.

[unanswering]

I wish I could be more relieved about that.

[another headshake. sometimes being paranoid and afraid of everything works out?]

[slobjection]

I guess it's hard to be relieved about anything in this place.

[ it's probably fine. ]

So you... fought it out. Then what?

[unanswering]

'Fought it out' is a strong term for it...

[he's a noodle, he cannot fight anything out.]

He just- expected me to die when he stabbed me, so I... I took the chance when I had it.
