I've never seen him so upset. Hiryuu found us, though... she helped calm everything down. I don't know what we'd have done without her, actually. B, too.

[At least a couple of people there knew what they were doing.]

But I need to apologize to Sunset. I - Levi got mad and he started shouting at me, so - I don't know. I just wanted to calm him down, so I tried to explain, and... I just wanted him to know I was there for Lucifel, but - I suppose I wasn't thinking. I said some awful things about Doodleman. I... and I didn't mean I wouldn't help him, really I didn't, but it must have sounded that way to her.

Ah, I see... You think she was mad because she thought you didn't want to revive him?

I...

[Wednesday swallows. It sounds, said now, every bit as awful as it always had been.]

No, Cobalt. She thought that because I said it. Levi thought I was asking him to heal Doodleman first, and - there's no excuse for it, is there? All I knew about Doodleman was he'd killed Levi's friend, and... and I didn't think even for a second if maybe this was hard for Sunset for the same reasons it was difficult for me.

I have to apologize. She doesn't have to accept it. I've never said anything half so awful in my life.

Even if it was something you said in the heat of the moment... you aren't required to revive anyone if you don't feel comfortable doing it. You didn't choose to be on this unit, or to have this responsibility. It's something you got saddled with and now it probably feels like people have expectations about how you use it.

I know it's a lot of pressure, but if you ever feel uncomfortable about doing a revival, it's okay to ask and see if someone else can do it, instead.

Revivals are really stressful, aren't they. Regardless of what happened, it's probably a good idea to check in with Sunset and see how she's feeling. Maybe this isn't as bad as you think it is.

... yeah.

I'm - glad you talked to us about it first. I'm... not really sure what I was expecting, but if you hadn't been there to explain - well, I know it would have been a lot worse. It's funny, isn't it? It sounds like it should be such a good thing, and - like everyone would know you were being useful, but it isn't, is it?

[She probably sounds very naive right now.]

I'll be back tomorrow, Cobalt. And - and I'll definitely speak to Sunset. But I think I should do it face-to-face, not over the phone. She deserves a proper apology, not me chasing after her because I don't want to feel bad.

I think this power is a good thing. But sometimes things that are good can also be difficult and emotional and frightening for everyone. It doesn't mean they're not still good, though.

Thank you for being there for Lucifel. I'm sure his unit is happy you were there to help.
