[Maketh doesn't look so good. Her face is drawn and pale, eyes narrowed tight. She hasn't been sleeping - has indeed been working almost constantly since she heard the broadcast.]
He attacked us once before. Claimed some nonsense about liberating people.
How odd. From my observations, all of you leave people alone unless they're actively trying to harm others here. One would think he'd concoct a plan to find the Door if his true objective was liberation.
[Her voice becomes a little more firm at this point. Rather than the soft and tranquil Lady, out comes the mage/mercenary. She addresses Maketh as she would a guildmate who's pushing themselves to the point of endangering their health.]
You are neglecting your health, Maketh, and I will not have it. I am bringing you food, and I expect you to eat it. Then I expect you to allow yourself a nap of a minimum of one hour. You are not a foolish person. You know that neglecting sleep and food is detrimental to training and optimal functioning.
Then why are you neglecting your health? If you are having trouble getting to sleep because of what happened, Henry should still have Tranquility's blessing.
[Either way, Maketh, she is on the move. And the video in the background is nothing but a blur.]
When someone who first earned my respect with her quick analysis and negotiation is neglecting basic essentials for functioning, I find that very concerning, Maketh.
[Because this is a far cry from the clever Maketh she first met.]
Are you planning on going after Sato for what he did?
[Oh dear. Maketh's obsessed and not thinking clearly. What "fun" this is going to be to try dissauding her.]
Sato will be expecting retaliation from you. You are emotionally compromised and not at your best right now.
[She pauses, considering how to try to get through to Maketh.]
Why do you need to rush to deal with the situation? We are all stuck here within Hadriel's walls. There is only so far he can go, and there are few, if any, who might help him hide. There is no reason at all that your plan cannot wait until you've eaten and slept.
[And now she's here. Maketh considers pretending she didn't hear the knock. It's childish. But part of her feels childish - this is foolish and she doesn't need the distraction, she needs to work and no one is going to help her. So she must do it herself, she must --
There is no need to discuss it further. All you need to do is eat and lie down for a short nap, and you have my word that I will leave you to your business as soon as I see you lie down.
[She opens the container of freshly cooked food and lets the scent lightly waft over in Maketh's direction. It's not the fanciest thing she's ever made, but she used a good mix of herbs based on what was available, and it has a pleasant smell.]
[She knows that kind of body language - when someone has something to hide. She knows it well. She's encountered it in her targets or people who had information on her targets. Years of mercenary life has taught her to hone in on this and exploit it, but she likes Maketh and is trying to help her. Besides, she's fairly certain Maketh has encountered enough predatory people willing to exploit her weaknesses to last a lifetime.]
Work that you will do better with some food in you and some sleep.
[Softly.]
Simply because Hope can revive people does not mean I intend to let you work yourself to death. I'm fond enough of you that I find that prospect unacceptable.

[Maketh is definitely not looking well.]
When was the last time you ate?
[Video]
[She grimaces, not answering the question.]
Is there anything else you needed?
[Video]
I also wanted to let you know that I will be dropping by to visit you shortly.
[Video]
[Video]
[To make sure you're actually eating, Maketh.]
So I will see you soon.
[Video]
It's, ah, it's not a good time. Another day, perhaps...?

What? Of course I am.

[She's not going to mince words here.]
He defeated someone who can move as fast as Shadow. Sato is the only one who wins in this game if you continue as you are.

[It can't involve anyone else, it has to be all her doing or else it might go wrong.]

She throws the phone at the wall.]

Maketh. I brought something for you to eat.

Stop that. Focus.
Maketh grits her teeth.
Opens the door a crack.]
I don't want to discuss this, Ikaruga.

Please, Ikaruga. I can't. I have work to do.
