I just happened to stumble on the fact that he was upset, it's nothing more special than coincidence.

I'd do the same for you.

[wincon]

you knew, but you didn't have to do anything.

[edelstein]

A friend wouldn't sit back and do nothing. Or at least that's what I assume.

We can just count it as a little repaid karma. Or atonement. Whatever. It's done! I just wanted to let you know that your help wasn't in vain.

[wincon]

karma and atonement aren't worth much

still
glad it turned out

[edelstein]

Then perhaps you can call it evening the scales instead.

I have something for you whenever you're available.

[wincon]

for me?

why?

[ it's not a special occasion..? ]

[edelstein]

Because I felt like it! Because I wanted to.

I was at that weird nightmarket and found something I thought might fit that game player of yours. The casing was cracked but none of the important parts were damaged? I think??? I can't make out the title and I don't know if it'll work but it's worth a try.

Whatever. Even if it does work you might not like the game. I just thought of you when I picked it up.

[wincon]

[ hm—ok. ]

did you want to try playing it too
I could show you

[edelstein]

I don't want to break it. I could watch you play.

[wincon]

isn't that boring

[ he would think it's boring... but if it's a sim, maybe he could just... let her make the choices... ]

[edelstein]

Why would it be? Some games have stories, don't they? Or goals and objectives you need to complete? That's like saying watching a television show is boring.

[Tomura can be Rin's let's play guy.]

[wincon]

some of them
it depends on the game

[ with some, story and objectives are just a thin excuse to move the player between different stages and get them to mow down enemies, so... ]

[edelstein]

I'd rather be bored over breaking something that's fun for you.

[wincon]

[ he's broken plenty of his own things before... #heatedgamermoments. it might be harder to replace here though. ]

do you break every piece of technology you touch?

[edelstein]

Either I break it, or it doesn't work until I pass it off to someone else.

[wincon]

sounds like something you'd hear from a superstition...

[edelstein]

That's because it's a curse.

[wincon]

[ reluctantly accepting this because of Where They Are... ]

why curse you with something like that

[edelstein]

I don't know. It's a family thing.
