If I end up with the rest of you, it's not because I want to. I- I'm just not cut out for things like this.
[ kazuki knows his limits. he knows how badly he handles crisis situations. but even on the safe side, he still isn't doing a great job of handling all this. ]
...It doesn't matter. It's not on me to figure everything out alone. Someone else will put the pieces together, we just need to do it in time to actually be able to help.
[ before all of them are killed, or something. ]

[Well. That sucked. A lot.
But this week Bradley isn't stuck in a cell, so he's going to look for Kazuki once the execution is over. How's he looking after all of that? Does he need to be dragged to the bar for a stiff drink this time?]

[ the one good thing about your close cr not being involved in the execution is that it's a little easier to look away when it gets to be too much, and kazuki definitely did. so while he looks a bit shaken, still, he's more stable than say, last week.
he's actually settled somewhere with just one earbud in, tapping at a journal with a half a music score written in, but he looks up to offer brad a nod when he hears him. ]

[Good. Kazuki has been shaken up by far too many of these executions. But then again, that just shows how much he cares about people, which isn't a bad thing.
Instead of his usual way of dragging Kazuki along on whatever idea he has to get the kid to focus on something else, he opts to just quietly sit down next to him and peek at the music score. It's not something he can read, but he can put 2 and 2 together and connect it to the music.]

[ well, he's not exactly trying to hide it, but he does raise an eyebrow. ]
Didn't think you could read music.
Didn't think you could read music.
[He absolutely cannot.]
I've seen papers like this before, but I never did anything with 'em. I just know that the different shapes of the notes are how long they're held.

Scores? All musicians use them.
[ he nods at that. ]
Where they fall on the score is the type of note you're supposed to play. Like an A, or C.

Is that what the lines're for? To show you what note to play?
Pretty much, yeah. It's not that hard to read, once you know what to look for.
Aren't there like 29 letters though? 5 lines doesn't seem like enough to make any words.
[Kazuki did say he was READING sheet music.]

Music doesn't involve the whole alphabet, Bain-san. It's not for making words, it's just the notes.
No, they're really just called notes in music.
[He is learning so much.]
Right, okay. And what's the symbol at the front of the line for?
[The clef symbol he means.]
Right, okay. And what's the symbol at the front of the line for?
[The clef symbol he means.]
The clef? It tells you the pitch of the song.
[ considers this and just. shrugs. in layman's terms, maybe. ]
More or less, yeah.
More or less, yeah.
[At some point in the evening, after everyone has returned to life and greetings have been made, Bradley will come across Kazuki.]
There's the rockstar! Feel up to a drink? Tonight's a night for celebrating.
There's the rockstar! Feel up to a drink? Tonight's a night for celebrating.
Sure. If any night calls for it, it's tonight.
[With that agreement, Bradley grins.]
Glad you agree!
[Off to the bar they go! He orders a mixed drink tonight though, instead of his usual whiskey.]
What do you want?

There's still a lot of work to do, but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy what we have now.
Sake wouldn't be so bad.
[ he's only had a few times, but he likes the stuff. it's better than a basic beer, too. ]

Sake it is!
[He's actually never had sake, so he'll order some for himself too. In the end they get Brad's original drink and then two bottles of sake, along with a couple sake cups.]

[ nice nice. he pours a little in a cup, then raises it like a toast. ]
To everyone leaving here alive.

To everyone leavin' here alive.
[Toast!]

[ toast!
he throws back his drink in one shot. ]
...We really needed something good to happen.
