[A small dormant part of him notices that Magnus has his back to him, sort of. He can reach through the bars. But what's he going to do? Punch him? And then what? He doesn't have the right leverage against him, can't shove him against the floor and kick and kick and kick and kick and kick and--

The food. The bag. It smells like food, kind of, he thinks, if he remembers how to smell right. He takes the bag with a tentative nod and opens it up.

It's really food. Magnus didn't eat it all.

He looks up and over at him, head tilted slightly to the side.]

We... we don't?

[juryduties]

No. Of course not. You think I like that things are like this? ...Go ahead, eat up. Sorry it took so long to get here, buddy. Got a little tied up on the way back.

( he doesn't smile, but he relaxes something in his face, imitates the person toki met at band camp with his soothing intonations. )

...Dethklok's gonna replace you. You know that, right? Just like they replaced me. They'll replace anyone. They don't care.

The sooner you get that, the sooner we can be done with all this shit.

[Toki can almost believe that Magnus is being nice. Except he remembers all the not nice stuff. He can't trust him like that, not really.

But he also can't not trust him. He's the only person he sees these days. He's responsible for everything that happens to him.]

No, they... they just got lost, [Toki insists, opening up the bag and grabbing the burger. He starts to eat quickly, just to make sure he can definitely get some of the food in.] They... they care. I know they do.

[juryduties]

Toki... you aren't listening.

( the patience ebbs from his voice, replaced by a hardness, a warning. his previous answer was the wrong one, but there's a chance he just misspoke. )

They don't care.

Say it. Say it now.

[Toki freezes, fingers gripping his burger. Fuck. He knows he has to say it, or he's going to get in trouble.]

They... they don't care.

[They do care, he says to himself. It's okay if he says it out loud if he doesn't mean it.]
