[It is honestly strange to see him without his signature pompadour, but Sayaka moves to hide the slight smile on her face with one of her hands at the sight. He actually looks cute without it, and it makes her at least want to brush it for him--
It's a thought Sayaka promptly discards. That's far too interpersonal, and more importantly, she doubts Mondo would appreciate it.]
Yes, they have. Some of them are awake right now and wandering about, but most of them are sleeping still...but it looks like the game's begun.
[Of course, Sayaka's look shifts to one of slight concern.]
Do you want to take a little bit longer to sleep? We should have a little while longer before all of them are awake. You might not get too many opportunities.
[It's a nice gesture on Sayaka's part, but there is at least one part of her that is trying to protect Mondo from this. At least for as long as she can. She's the sort of person who's used to doing horrible things to get ahead, and if she can prevent him from having to do so, she will. But it's likely transparent as to what Sayaka's doing, at least to Mondo.]
[Mondo runs a hand back through his hair and silently wishes he had a hairtie or something. This is going to be so annoying... Maybe there's a way to ask their bosses if he can have hair gel...]
Huh? Nah, no need for that. Two sets of eyes are better than one, and they're likely to try to pull some crazy shit once they're all awake. Early on's gonna be toughest when they're all trying to escape, yeah?
[It doesn't even occur to him that Sayaka's trying to do what she can to shield him from this. As far as he can see, she just feels bad for waking him up early...]
[Sayaka's look briefly goes somewhat pained before she glances away--he's got a point and she knows it well, but that still doesn't make it hurt any less to hear.
Mondo shouldn't have to deal with this. Neither of them should--Sayaka feels like she deserves this most days, especially since she's gotten her memories back of what she tried to do. It hurts to hear that sort of thing out of Mondo, but...]
...Okay. I just thought I'd ask, in case you needed it. I'm sure I'll be okay if you ever need to, though. I'm pretty observant.
[Sayaka's look fixes easily when she turns back to Mondo, and she'll take her place at the desk. It looks like they're still being good, at least for now, though some are definitely panicking.
It's...a lot harder to watch than Sayaka is expecting, if she's going to be entirely honest.]
C'mon, you don't need to worry about me. I'll be fine.
[Maybe that's simply because it hasn't really sunk in yet that they're going to have to watch these people die - and set up executions for the ones who kill. It still feels very surreal and watching them stumble about and try to figure out where they are and how they got here is... really goddamn surreal.
Mondo keeps his eyes on the monitors, watching for any signs of trouble, and otherwise remaining silent for once in his life. This... really is a thing they're going to have to do, isn't it.]
