---

Ami Mizuno has posed:
After texting Daisuke and Minako to meet at Mamoru's apartment (and providing directions for anyone who didn't already have them), Ami finally moved to comfort her best friend for perhaps the first time since That Day.

Thus, when Minako and Daisuke come in (she left instructions to just come through the door; it'd be unlocked), Ami and Usagi are curled up on the couch together, with Ami petting the blonde's hair gently.

Ami looks exhausted. The bags under her eyes have bags, and her head bobs unnaturally as she pets Usagi. Her whole body is shaking, just a little, with exhaustion.

But even so, her eyes look keen and sharp. Ami is busy staring at the carpet, a faint squint on in her expression, clearly very deep in thought.

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
Usagi, for her part, is also just staring.

The pain's in her mind?

She knew this, has to accept this, but...

It's not just for that that she's staring at the carpet. Ami is distracted, shaking, and Usagi should be voicing her concerns more. Trying to make her nap.

But nodoze.

So for now, she has a thousand yard stare.

Minako Aino has posed:
Minako Aino/Sailor V shows up! In the most boring fashion possible - through the front door, without knocking.

She has no fun gifts or weird objects or extra snacks. Just a cat, who is adamant about not belonging in either of those categories.

Daisuke Hansuke has posed:
Daisuke Hansuke is really no better than anyone else. Something kicked him in the head though. It told him, to pretend it was okay. This was a thing Daisuke was good at. It was required with some of the other things you do.

But.. you can't look too happy. Else you act like nothing is wrong.

And everything is wrong.

So Daisuke buys eight coffees. four milkshakes. A bag of donuts. A bag of crossaints. He is dressed in common clothes. He is positive this is all going to waste. He does not particularly care. He comes in quietly, and places them on the coffee table. He politely bows to everyone, and he is silent. He has a quiet seat.

He does not have a particularly happy expression either. No one has said anything. He has no idea if it's because no one knows what to say, or does not want to talk. All he can say is...

"I'm so sorry." he says quietly.

Ami Mizuno has posed:
Ami looks up when Daisuke and Venus enter, then rubs at her eyes. She gently repositions Usagi while Daisuke decides to apologize, then gently pets the blone on the back one last time before nodding to Daisuke. "Will you heal Sailor Venus?" she asks, motioning.

"She's being stubborn and refuses to go to a hospital," Ami explains. "Even though her arms at last seem horribly wounded, and she's been resisting the need."

Then she clears her throat and points at Venus, "I have what you wnated. Where. When. Even How," Ami admits. "But unless you agree to let him heal you, and to take a nap, I'm not telling you."

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
Usagi ignores just about everything until Ami-chan addresses Minako. Then she's looking up.

There's been two worries inside her outside of what had happened, and they're all centered around the two girls in the apartment with her.

"You're both taking a nap." It's a demand, of sorts. And her eyes are still on Minako. "Please? I just...I don't want you hurting anymore."

Minako Aino has posed:
Minako Aino/Sailor V bristles up just a little bit, squeezing her Artemis against herself enough that he much less nappy and more meowy. "I don't need a 'nap'. I sleep once a day, at night, and sometimes in the afternoon."

Then, more huffily. "I'm not tired or hurting. I'm wide awake. Feeling great. When I need something, you'll all be the first to know. 'cuz I'll tell you!"

Daisuke Hansuke has posed:
Daisuke Hansuke looks between the two tired girls and takes a deep breath. He looks back over to Venus.

"If you're making me heal her, I'll do it, but... if she says she's fine...." he says sort of melting backwards. He doesn't sound too chipper- but no one sounds too chipper here. It feels more like he's forcing himself to talk.

"Venus it's okay to admit when you need help." he says as he brushes a hand up his face.

Usagi Tsukino has posed:
Keep in mind, the only sleep Usagi's gotten has been riddled by nightmares.

She hasn't slept much at all, herself.

So she's cranky, and tired, and using all her energy worrying about other people.

"If you can just...even if it only stings why don't you...If you can walk around without it tearing at you why won't you do it?!"

Crap.

That isn't fair. To Venus or to Daisuke.

She stands up and scoots toward the bedroom, where the shower is.

"Just um...ignore me. Sorry. I'll be...yeah. Shower. Fun. Yay. Okaybye."
