cw: therapy malpractice mention

Oh, I think she's mad about something.

[ ...Riley isn't above being bitter, either. She presses her jaw tight together, wills her talons not to dig into the hardwood in frustration. If she lets those feelings up, they'll consume her...right? It's easy to get lost in them, in the things she's feeling. Wasn't...didn't Dr. Danny say something like that...? It's so difficult for her to remember sometimes.

She lets out a slow breath and pushes the anger down. ]

...Okay. If...that's what you think, then- I'll trust you.

[Celeste is most definitely mad about something, but the murder itself isn't the issue. It's Riley's ability to put on that facade and make it work. To have friends, and a family, even if the stress makes her feel like she might break. Because Celeste's facade keeps her at a distance, rather than helping her integrate. It's safer that way, Mukuro knows, but it gets lonely.

'I'll trust you' makes her tail thump once against the floor, though; one tired pleased acknowledgement. It feels good to have Riley trust her again.]

...It'll be okay.

[She'll do whatever she can to make sure of it.]
