[ Had this conversation swept in at a less unfortunate moment, there might have been a different response than the one Dokja gives now. Instead of his usual defensiveness, there's a bone-deep weariness that regards the question with more sadness than anything else. He's been having too many arguments lately. The energy for another isn't there.
He takes the time to think about it... Really think about it, the time he'd spent on Horos and the way he had rapidly deteriorated. His frequent breakdowns, the way his mind would slip loose, and the unsettling burden he'd forced others to shoulder because of his countless mishaps. They've taken a pause ever since Joonghyuk and Sooyoung's arrival, that much is for certain, but does that make things better?
Wordlessly, he turns back around to resume his business of putting away the dry dishes, silence drawing on between them before he finally speaks. ]
You're not supposed to be here.
[ It's not a satisfying answer by a long shot, but when has Dokja ever doled those out so easily? ]
