[ the feed starts with loki looking somewhat wan and tired, but not easily spotted by those who don't know him. he speaks smoothly, without a hint of annoyance. ]

First off, for new arrivals and older ones who may be unaware, the Operium is always open for hire. If you're struggling for a job, then you're welcome to seek me out and find gainful employment.

Secondly, Thor has left this place. His belongings, however, are still here. I have in my possession:
- Some red cloaks
- A gaming console with a Fortnite subscription claimed
- A grill
- A charm bracelet
- A book on how to raise goats

You can come claim these at the Sunset Falls park. You have half an hour before I set them on fire. Good day.

Mm. This will pass in time.

[unkindled_madness]

It will.

But I'll stay as long as you like.

[dothelokimotion]

Even . . . here?

[unkindled_madness]

Here as in...?

[dothelokimotion]

In this apartment. Just for a while.

If you don't find it comfortable, I understand.

[unkindled_madness]

No. I wouldn't mind that.

[dothelokimotion]

Thank you.

[unkindled_madness]

It's something we haven't done before.

[New experiences, and all that.]

[dothelokimotion]

I would have liked to give you better experiences than . . . this.

[unkindled_madness]

But this is... part of it.

[dothelokimotion]

It is.

[ he can't deny that. but he still finds it frightening. too much. ]

[unkindled_madness]

...it's a sign of your trust.

[It may not be fun but it's meaningful.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ trust. not weakness. ]

You have it. My trust. My all.

[unkindled_madness]

...I know.

[It's strange to feel so sure of that, but it feels like fact, in the moment.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ he relaxes a little. ]

As long as you do.

[unkindled_madness]

I'm sure you'll remind me, if I forget.

[dothelokimotion]

[ he smiles faintly. ]

If you want.

[unkindled_madness]

[He shakes his head slightly.]

I don't mean that you need to say it.

You keep telling me, with your actions.

[dothelokimotion]

My actions . . . I hope so.

[ "I can do it, Father! For you, for all of you!" ]

[unkindled_madness]

You stay.

[That's always been what's most important to him.]

[dothelokimotion]

. . . I do.

[unkindled_madness]

It matters. Every time.

[dothelokimotion]

[ oh. loki squeezes sephiroth's hand in reply. ]

I'm here.

[unkindled_madness]

[He squeezes back. He's here, too.]

[dothelokimotion]

It'll be all right. I can weather this.
