not sure if losing voice or drive or what

[Whatever it is, both Kageno and mun seem to be in a rather gloomy mood. ...Gloomier than usual.]

...Maybe it's time to pack it in, then.

I mean... not like I'll be missed... They probably won't even notice at all... so it's no big loss.

Don't... don't worry about it.

[Hakuren-senpai, how do you stay so fab all the time?!

...That's more his forehead, Senpai, but that's better than most people can do, so!]

...Thank you. It's... difficult putting things in perspective... when you're in a rut like this...

Well, you could hardly live a fulfilling life if you had no trials to overcome. It's difficult now, but I know you and your mun can better yourselves from this.

...

And it's never a bad thing to ask for a break. Even I needed a break from studying for the Bishop Exams every so often. It may take years of preparation to become a man of the cloth, but burning yourself out before the exam even starts is a common story in the Church.

[Kageno could be tall too if he, you know, stood up straight part of the time]

...Burning out... that might be it. We've both been so focused on trying to get things right that... we keep tripping ourselves up. It just feels really tiring all the time... like a full day of training, but without the results. ...Or the fun. Or anything.

...A break, hm...?
