no one and nothing can break through

[Well! That sure did happen!

Bruno does not organize an afterparty. He's not a party organizer in general - that was Wu. But he knows he was completely useless, if not downright actively unhelpful, during that whole thing, and he already feels guilty enough. He has to be useful somehow. Otherwise, why's he even here? 

So, before everyone can leave the teleportation circle in the dining room and all go their own separate ways, Bruno mumbles something about making food and takes off for the kitchen. He'll be there for a couple of hours, whipping up some quick chicken sancocho, with Olive on rice duty. Azul can be in charge of actually grabbing people and bringing them in - god forbid Bruno do anything like that - but if anyone does happen to be there to take one, he'll make them up a bowl. Otherwise, he's just gonna leave it all warming on the stove. 

There's also some arroz con leche simmering for later, if anybody wants dessert! He'll put cinnamon in it, and then add some hot chocolate to the lineup as well. He's no Julieta, of course, but at least he's made something? It's not enough, but it's...something.]

Wu trusted me and I didn't do enough to keep him alive. Jasper even used my image to lure him into a trap. If I had done more Wu probably would be alive right now.

[Not that it'd have been much better for someone else to die, that's for sure]

[predecir]

...it's not your fault. You had no way of knowing anything would happen.

[Unlike SOME PEOPLE HERE]

[spitessier]

It's my job to protect people, especially in situations where they're vulnerable. To have failed to notice he could be in danger is shameful.

[That, and also it hurts his feelings because yeah, he liked Wu, and Wu trusted him so much]

[predecir]

You were kidnapped just like we were.

[Not like he's here as a cop, or whatever.]

[spitessier]

That doesn't change as an officer of peace my job is to keep everyone safe during this kind of situations.

[He takes his job so seriously]

[predecir]

...that's sort of my job, too. Should've been, anyway. That's what the Madrigals are supposed to do, you know? But I was never good at it anyway.

[spitessier]

I don't think there's any way you can be considered at fault for any of what happened, powers or not.

[Few people can say things like these without realizing they apply to themselves to, and Katsuya seems to be one of those people]

[predecir]

...I should've seen it coming.

[Bruno clutches tightly at one arm; it's something that's been on his mind since this morning, though the only person he's said anything to was Loki.]

I could have. It wouldn't have changed anything, but...

[spitessier]

If the future can't be changed, having forewarning only causes stress to you. This situation is bad enough already for you to be adding more pain onto yourself like this. Not to offend you, but you really seem like the kind of person who would feel guilty about it for a long time.

[Pretty much the only way Katsuya sees it would have done anything positive, was if any vision showed the killer too, and that's hardly going to be accepted as evidence by most]

[predecir]

Uh...no, I'd say that's pretty, pretty accurate...

[It could show the killer! Though, granted, Bruno hasn't really thought of using one as evidence. It would be too terrible to see it and then just...wait for it to happen; he hasn't thought past that.]
