don't go breaking my heart
[Well. All that sure happened!
Brett hasn't done much for one of these post-trial gatherings thus far, but he's been trying very hard to be functional lately, and...well, the fact that so many other people aren't okay right now just makes that all the more important. So he'll go around telling people, or slipping notes under doors if need be:]
We're going to have some food at the bar, if anyone wants it.
- Brett & Joy
[It feels a little weird to have it there, but...let's be honest. He expects quite a few people will be passing through the bar of the own accord tonight. They may as well not drink on empty stomachs.
There's not a ton going on. Brett's figured out how to turn the light-up dance floor off - it seemed a little inappropriate. Despite being hosted at the bar, Brett hasn't actually set out any alcohol; there's tamagoyaki and a big vat of chicken noodle soup sitting on some tables in the middle of the room, as well as tea for anyone who wants a drink that isn't alcoholic. Everyone who does want to drink can serve themselves. Also, someone has draped a rainbow pride flag over the bar? It seems appropriate given who's throwing the party, at least, and he didn't really have it in his to stop Joy, so.
You're free to turn on some music, if you want. Brett couldn't pick anything out on the jukebox, it seems.]

[She clears her throat before doing a passable impression of him:]
"I met a bad vampire once, so all vampires are now the scum of the Earth." "All murderers are monsters." "I'm Jonathan Harker and all my opinions are absolute truth."
no subject
[But he knows that's not the point she's trying to make.]
I suppose you're right. It's so hard to shake my own preconceived notions, but I need to remember that this is not a normal circumstance.
Next trial... if there is one... I am going to do my best to have empathy towards the killer, whoever it is. I tire of derailing important events with my own turmoil.
[There is a brief pause.]
Seo was certainly quite a monster, however.
[He is not about to change his opinion on that, he refuses!]

[She swirls the alcohol in her stolen drink around and tries to think how to word what she wants to say.]
... sometimes, when you're hurt, things stop mattering. It fucks with your brain. Do I hate the guy? Sure, but I don't kid myself that I'm different fundamentally from him.

[She shrugs. It could have made her bitter! Another her, somewhere, is probably bitter. This specific Joy, though? No, not really.]

Well... I am certainly glad you saw something different. I know life has been hard for you, but... I am happy we have met.
