< Alarm clock going off >
“…Ugh… W-What time is it?.. Oh ■■■■!”
< Mumo shuffling out of bed >
"S-Sorry for waking you up!
“…”
"Forgot all about having a meeting in the morning! "
“…”
< Mumo opening bathroom door >
“…”
< Mumo turning sink faucet in and splashing her face with water >
“…”
< Mumo brushing her teeth >
“…”
< Mumo spitting toothpaste out >
“…”
< Mumo turning faucet off >
“…”
“… Y-You still asleep?”
“…”
" < sigh > Look… I dunno if you’re still mad at me for refusing to do a line with you last night. I could tell you were really sour about me turning it down but… ■■■■! I’m starting to feel this… This was all a mistake, you know?"
“…”
“I’m trying to go clean! And you’re just trying to make me fall into these habits I’m trying to break…”
“…”
“I… I had a good time last night. It was… Special. B-But you constantly pushing drugs on me is really straining. It’s ruining this for me.”
“…”
< Mumo climbing onto bed >
“Viruda!”
“Viruda! come on! This isn’t-…”
< Mumo screaming >
One Hour later…
“U-Utatis! T-Thank you for coming… C-Care for some coffee?”
“You’re shaking.”
“D-Don’t remind me. Utatis, I need help - a-and you’re the only one I can trust with telling this.”
“You killed someone.”
< Mumo drooping coffee mug and shattering it >
“No! No-No-No. NO! I didn’t kill ANYONE … A-A-At least I don’t think I did…”
“Just show me the body already.”
“… Well you’re awful god damn blunt, aren’t you?!”
“You didn’t call me for emotional support, you called me to help you deal with a body - which - I don’t see the reason you need me, I know a blood raider-”
“S-Shut up! Fine! C-come with me…”
“H-Here she is…”
< Utatis walking to Viruda’s side of the bed >
“Who is she?”
“V-V-Viruda Dullom. H-PA Crew…”
“Oh, your drug dealer.”
“You’re not helping right now!”
“No, I’m not… Alright, I see why you need me. Don’t wanna sweep a dead Gurista under the rug and instead, want me to mediate details with them over their dead comrade to avoid any misunderstandings.”
“… S-Sure, let’s go with that.”
“Fine… Did you examine her any?”
“N-No… Beyond rolling over to see was dead. I… I couldn’t look at her like that.”
“Hmm…”
“W-What do you think?”
“Well, I’m the opposite of a doctor, but I’m putting a wager on her dying of a seizure. The lines of crash on the nightstand are a good indication.”
“A-A seizure? R-Right next to me in my sleep?” I…"
“Died choking on her own vomit right next to you in your sleep.”
“I- Oh ■■■■ - I think I’m gonna be sick!”
< Mumo gagging and rushing to the bathroom >
“Do you need a moment?”
< Mumo vomiting in toilet >
“I’ll take that as a yes.”
< Mumo coughing >
“…Better?”
“No! What the ■■■■ is wrong with you Utatis!?”
“…”
“…F-Forget I asked…”
“Right, well - Guessing the blend of crash and sex is what did her in. Might have been a heart attack even. Something heart related, surely. Again, I’m not the doctor.”
“S-Sex? Whoa! Hey! Jumping to conclusions there!”
“You’re joking, right?”
“She just needed to crash here, and I offered up my be-”
“-Mumo.”
“…”
“… Anyway. Nothing much for me to do here. I just need to inform her people that she’s dead and get them to recover the body. They’ll handle it from there.”
“…”
“I suppose you just go on with your day an-”
“-I-I-I Know what you’re gonna say.”
“Do you?”
“Y-Youre gonna use this to shame me for for not trying to overcome my addiction and how I’m gonna end up like her if I don’t get my act together already.”
“Mumo, I don’t give a ■■■■ what you do with your life. What I said that first time was some friendly advice - should you continue or not is entirely your own decision. Frankly however, I don’t need to say a thing, the scene says it all for you, does it not?”
“…Y-Yes. It does.”
“Right. As I was saying, just go about your day, I’ll give H-PA a call and explain the situation and the body will be gone just in time for lunch.”
“Oh great, the body will be gone. Yet I Dunno if I can keep this ■■■■■■■ bed around anymore…”
“I’m sure there’s someone selling a mattress somewhere for a good price. You can look for that yourself.”
“Geez, thanks.”
“Of course.”
“…One more thing.”
“Hmm?”
“Can you… Not tell Suha anything about this?”
“What the ■■■■ does she have to do with any of this to begin with?”
“I just didn’t know if you had to report this to her. And if you did I’d just appreciate it if you didn’t… I-I dunno how she would react.”
“Your concern is unnecessary, I don’t see the point in her knowing.”
“Well… I-I guess that all I want then.”
“Don’t worry - Your little secret here is safe with me… Well I do need to tell somebody about it, but nobody important to you.”
“Right…”
“… You still got coffee? I can probably use a cup right about now.”
< Mumo sitting down on the edge of the bed. >
“Y-Yeah. It’s in the pot just… Just help yourself.”
“Thank you… You gonna be fine for today?”
“I… I just need a ■■■■■■■ moment.”
“Hmm… Well don’t take too long, we still got a meeting to show up for.”
“… Oh ■■■■! ■■■■!”
“So much for having a moment…”
“I-I still needed to go up to the office and overlook some numbers before then! God dammit!”
“I can tell Suha and Avio you’re running late if that helps…”
“No! I’ll be on time!.. I’ll be on time.”
“Hmm… Alright then, I’m gonna have a cup and see you then.”
“Y-Yeah… See you then… O-Oh, Utatis? Thank you…I-I didn’t know what to do in this situation.”
“Don’t mention it.”
