Yep. What did you get?

[...

he reaches over and turtleslaps her. i'm sorry]

[She looks like she doesn’t quite understand what’s happening for a few seconds, but then:]

Try that again and see what happens.

Trust me, I'm not enjoying this.

I can guarantee I'm enjoying it even less.

[wheeze.]

I wanted to ask what happened to you yesterday, though.

[he shrugs, if slowly because injury week still sucks.]

We were in... some kind of doll factory? There were these machines that took traits from us, one physical and one mental. Akira lost his other eye and apparently his charm because he yelled about that one, Ash had his face ripped off, Phoenix lost his hair, etc.—oh, I should specify that we were also dolls or something? So none of it was permanent or even hurt, from what I could tell.

[he then gestures to the jae-ha baby, who still just eyes them with a dead look.]

Anyway, all those traits went into the baby dolls at the end. So, like, one baby—the one who looks like Ash's friend or whoever she is—got Akira's eye and also his charm. [ash got the perfect charming brilith baby, though probably minus akira's eye now] Well, though the fact that it had both of his traits was just 'cause he kept using the same corresponding machine before we knew what they were for.
