Dreamland - Peko

[murimurimuri]

[It's the monkey that greets Peko, beckoning her toward a secluded corner where Simon is hanging out, looking awkward and nervous as usual.]

Um... hey. I know you're grieving, and I promise I won't take up a lot of your time. I wanted to say something before, but I don't know you that well and I'm totally terrible at this kind of thing... so... so I guess I just didn't.

[He pauses here, fidgeting and staring at his shoes.]

But. But. I know what it's like to lose somebody, and I feel like, even if I don't know what to make of anyone else, right now I can't even imagine you're one of the killers. That's what my instincts are telling me. And it's kind of lonely not having anybody but Money to talk to, so... I thought.. maybe I could help?

S-sorry, this is just coming off weird, isn't it? I don't have much to offer yet, but I swear to you I'm not suspicious! Even if I have to wait for the buddy cops or the real detective to look at me to prove it! I really might be able to help, even if I don't know how yet!

People may come to count on you, as well.

But Levi... reminds me of one of my classmates. We are fortunate that particular individual did not arrive here with the rest of us. He is... somewhat unstable. Willing to kill just to force us to rise to a greater "hope."

[She just sounds disgusted, talking about that particular classmate.]

[He seems a bit stunned at the idea that people might count on him, but does not comment on it.]

...That doesn't even make sense.
