Genos, open

[wounds]

[So the label's been pushing him to do more, to sing more to make up for his massive fuck up last month.

And so he does. He's grateful to them, isn't he? Even if he hates almost every song on this album, they've saved him from being with Saitama for the rest of his life.

... Or at least that's what the brainwashing says, though perhaps it's more faulty than they'd like.

Once again, he can be found at the back of the stage fussing with his guitar, going over the notes to his performance piece.]

[blindfoldcode]

Will you stop checking everything? If you keep doing that, you're going to mess it up and you'll only have yourself to blame?

[Can you imagine snapping a string ten minutes before a performance, Genos? Like can you imagine that? It probably wouldn't be great.

Of course Kido is going to show up for encouragement. How... encouraging she will actually be is still on the table.]

[wounds]

[Kido's asking him to stop fussing? That's impossible.]

This are new strings, they need some wear anyway.

[Not to mention, he's not entirely sure if he wants to be performing.]

[blindfoldcode]

It's frustrating to watch. Did you eat? [Performing with you once has turned her into a complete worry wart.]

[wounds]

I ate, don't worry.

[He doesn't really want to be here, after all.]

[blindfoldcode]

[She watches him, worried even more now.]

... Can I do anything for you?

[wounds]

What are you worried about, Kido?

[blindfoldcode]

You, dumbass.

[wounds]

I'll be fine.

I always am.

[blindfoldcode]

Goddamnit, Genos. We're really shitty friends if you expect me to never worry about you. Especially when you're acting like this.

[wounds]

... I don't like people worrying about me. It's just a performance.

[One he doesn't want to do.]

[blindfoldcode]

Well get used to it. I'm worried.

[wounds]

What do you think is going to happen?

[blindfoldcode]

Nothing has to happen for me to be worried. I just... want you to be happy I guess.

[wounds]

[Saitama- he shakes it off almost as soon as he thinks it.]

I don't know what that'll take.

[blindfoldcode]

Then I want you to be less miserable for now.

[wounds]

Good luck, Kido.

[blindfoldcode]

[She punches his shoulder gently.]

I'll be in the front row if you need me.

[wounds]

[It at least gets an amused laugh out of him]

I'll look for you.

[blindfoldcode]

Keep your head on straight. Kill it out there. [And then... slightly more serious.]

Show the label how important to it you are. Keep yourself safe.

[wounds]

... Yeah.

I promise I'm not going anywhere.

[blindfoldcode]

I know you're not. I trust you. So trust yourself more and... breathe, ok?

[wounds]

[How is he supposed to trust himself when he's such an emotional wreck?]

... I'll breathe.

[blindfoldcode]

[I'd say the same way he trusts her but HE CLEARLY DOESN'T SO i got nothing.]

You'll be okay.

[wounds]

[He's a natural fusser]

It's just a performance. I've already triple checked everything.
