[ Aoi shows up at Hubert's door without even a note, knocking hard and frantically. He's a mess and it shows, he's not even thinking through his usual subterfuge. ]

THANKS FOR MAKING THIS,LENGA

[ Knock knock on Simon's dressing room door. ]

Hey, open up, I gotta talk to you about some shit.

[ Aoi's dressing room is a lot more messy than it was in the early days. Clothing's thrown all around and there's a bunch of holes in one of the walls at various levels. Someone's been playing beat the wall up whenever they get frustrated and that someone is Aoi. But he breezes on and ignores that fact and hopes that Corrin will too. ]

I'm kind of tired of hiding things now and I've been rethinking my priorities. I keep you out of the loop too much and every time it nearly gets me dead by things like stabbing. So I want to tell you about a few things, okay?

[ Aoi leads the way into his dressing room and leans against the door once they get inside. He slumps a little against it, managing to look very small in his oversized sweater. He's anxious and it shows. ]

I guess I need advice more than anything but what I want to say is kind of a mouthful, so get ready for that.

[ Aoi considers what to block the door with and then drags a chair over, wedging it under the doorknob after pressing the door closed. He comes back after that, kneeling on the floor by the bed and offering his hand to the poor puppy. ]

So you don't have fond feelings for 'the A-team', huh.

[ Aoi is guiding Corrin into his dressing room, arms around him. It's pretty hard to walk when he's insisting on embracing him while they walk but he's not going to do it any other way. When they get inside he kicks the door closed. ]

Okay, we're alone now. You can let everything out.

[ He wants to let everything out too but he's stuffing it down and burying it. He's going to take care of Corrin. That comes first before anything else. ]

[ Aoi leads Corrin to his dressing room. It's a lot less colourful this time around - he's too in between homes for the game to know what to do with him, so all it really populated his dressing room with is a lot of scarves. He's laid his armor very carefully in a corner. He himself has gone a little overboard with the clothes part of things - the rack is a bit stuffed and the floor underneath it is cluttered with sneakers. So at least his dressing room has life in that way.

He leans against the door once he closes it and reaches out to pull Corrin into his rms for another hug. ]

What's on your mind?

[ 11:45 pm. Ticking down. It's near time for the night to roll over and near time for everything to change. The votes will click into place soon. Santa is huffing and puffing in his bed, arms crossed and staring down at his tablet. He'd be biting down on his lip if it wasn't stitched together from being split. His nose is wrinkled and his face blotched from anger. He doesn't know what to do.

He can't sleep. Who could? ]
