[ good morning, we are at the arcade!
it's fumkin noisy in here but he's doing his best! he seems to be doggedly playing one game in particular. it's a rhythm game, one of those taiko drum ones, and he seems like he's really concentrating, ears perked up and forward. is he perhaps trying to get a high score? maybe. it's not out of the question because he actually is doing pretty good, he's got near perfects on all of the notes. oh, also, he's wearing this.
in any case, he's very clearly not paying attention to anything around him so this is your chance to jumpscare the shit out of him if you'd like. ]

[ that would be rude and he's a good boy!!! well- mostly. you must be a level 5 friend to unlock his being a shit (affectionate) mode
so he will stand and watch patiently. once the song is over, lets out a low, impressed whistle. ]
Woah, that was cool.

[ he was so in the zone that he actually does jump a little when he hears the whistle, hand coming up to his chest like he's a little old lady. he glances over in chrono's general direction. waugh. ]
-- Ah, you startled me. [ a beat. ] Hah. Thank you, though. Hello.

[ off they go, jiaoqiu walking slowly and carefully. he's a little transparent - literally, he's slightly see through. but that's fine, he doesn't care much about it. ]
This was a difficult decision for you. [ a little prompting, to see if chrono wants to talk. ]

[ oh transparency of some kind buddies
after a moment, he nods. ]
I didn't know any of them well enough. The victims, the-- culprits. [ he can't say "killers", even though it had become obviously the truth. ] What right do I have to make a choice like that?

We do. I think you may be surprised to know that I live on a space-faring vessel, as well. Most people are.
[ jiaoqiu like just because i'm a furry, ]
In any case, I don't blame you for being angry. I agree with you - this does feel like being tested. Or, perhaps less charitably, sabotaged.

Actually, that's not so surprising. I told you about Cray before, so... they've got space vessels, too.
[ and there's some furries on those too, for sure.
sabotaged. that clicks into place, and chrono suddenly understands why this felt so familiarly awful. ]
Yeah. That's the feeling, for sure. I hadn't realised.

[ he glances away, disbelief etched into his brow. making it to the end? it's been two weeks, and look at all this. he's so tired of struggling.
with a shaky exhale, he crosses his arms. ]
I want to go to Cray. The connection between- the way my world and theirs interacted, it's gone. I... miss my friends.
