[ OKAY WELL HE WAS GOING TO REFUTE THAT but then she drops that parting message and he's just...ok...ay? ]
Look out for her? [ blinks slowly. except he can't blink because he's just a shadow, but please just understand his voice will somehow communicate this. ] Who?
Then I'll ask her to mind you in turn. [Somehow, with everything he's told her, the comfort of knowing feels chilly. He's just a shadowman, but maybe, at least, he'll be able to do more for Annette than Cantarella could. Just another girl she's failed to keep from fueling someone else's idea of a worthwhile sacrifice. Who deserved to be known better and be reassured.]
These next few days will not be easy ones. [Starting with being on for the "show" this afternoon. She offers his shadow a smile. It is tired in a way she doesn't really hide.] I will try to invite everyone together once more, when everything is coming to a head. I hope that we can meet again.
[ he'll just simply give her a nod to that, but there's also something in the back of his mind that tells him that her experiences might not be as...unfortunate as the ones that he experienced. for reasons. either way, helping a girl is a no brainer for him. ]
It'd be super creepy if it did; there's a calm before the storm and then there's finding a ghost town where a populated city used to be.
[ maybe not exactly the best metaphor to use in this situation but it gets the job done?? maybe??? ]
But you can trust that I'll be there. [ ... ] Or try to be. Wouldn't be helpful if I vanished on everyone now.
the way this week sort of feels the way lavi predicted because of everyone losing it
Mmm... [She runs her thumb a along her lower lip, tasting something that isn't there.] Careful, now. We wouldn't want you to be spirited away by a car-napper.
[This sounds so stupid, but she wouldn't know carjacking as a term.]
May we meet next in more secure conditions. [Not happier, maybe, not more peaceful...the least they can be is more confident.]

[She wasn't clear, so it won't worry her that he was confused by it just yet.]
Unless you think her circumstances will be different from yours...? [Still, a note of concern finds its way into Cantarella's voice.]
no subject
[ since you can only expect so much from him; his voice changing to be a bit apologetic as he continues. ]
No, I get the feeling that she'll be drawn in and brought back in a very similar situation as I was.

PLEASE NOT LIKE THIS
[ lavi doesn't know what carjacking is, so they can both get away with this. rather, mostly cantarella getting away with this. ]
Either way, I'm sure that we'll have more insight as to what is going on the next time we meet—one way or another.
