You're not wrong, but they're pretty intent on being in the way anyway. Couldn't go back to check on the cafe if I wanted to.

[eliminated]

You'd think they'd let us if we're supposed to be the ones investigating...

[selfimmolation]

Unless it's because we're "in training" and they want us to leave it to the "leaders".

[eliminated]

... Well, here's hoping they have something to report about it soon. I want to know what happened to Rocket-san.

[selfimmolation]

It'd help if there was any sign of them anywhere.

[eliminated]

... Maybe they're busy with investigating...?

[said in a "i really hope this is the case" tone]

[selfimmolation]

They better be. [ in a "will fight someone if this isn't the case" tone ] They haven't done much beyond make us go to a party so far.

[eliminated]

Kind of wish we could just go back to having parties.

[selfimmolation]

No kidding. [ sighs, and then, bad joke: ] Maybe we can throw one after finding out what happened.

[a weak laugh]

I'm at least gonna want a drink after all this.

[selfimmolation]

I sort of want one now. [ ... ] But it's coffee?

[ like he just realized the craving ]

[eliminated]

I didn't even know you drank coffee, Ace-san. [a beat] Personally, I could go for snacks right now, actually...

[she's not even sure how she has an appetite right now but sometimes you just do]

[selfimmolation]

Sometimes? I don't like when it's too bitter. [ he sounds so baffled and he shakes his head ] Wanna go get something? Beats standing here stuck doing nothing.

[eliminated]

... Yeah, sounds good to me. Just waiting around is kind of stressing me out more than anything.

[selfimmolation]

Yeah. And I really need to stretch my legs.

[ because standing around is driving him insane off they go on a quest to see the konbini after it has been trashed I guess ]
