[There's so much to unpack here, things that Poe seems to be alluding to without outright saying. Just what sort of help was Poe expecting? It's not like Ranpo doesn't recall their earlier conversation about how much was okay to do during the moon cycles -- and he truly intended to hold himself to that.]
[But he also knew from babysitting Inaba just how horrible Iris could be if you were trying to stick it out alone. Like an itch that never goes away, that only gets worse the longer you try and ignore it.]
You don't have to say it like that. I'm happy to help!
[--with whatever that entails, honestly.]
But have you really been cooped up inside all this time? You should have messaged me sooner!
[The first four texts cause a strange fluttering in the chest. Like a bird trying to escape a cage. Even after the screen has gone black Poe stares at his phone. But 30 seconds is as long as his current desperation allows.]
At first it wasn't as bad as I was made to believe it would be.... Now it's worse.
[The very thought of eating right now brings on a wave of queasiness. This is not a good time and Poe made it worse for himself despite all warnings. It's so overwhelming that he could frustration cry over it. Instead he just texts Ranpo back more.]
I'm not sure I could stomach much right now. So I think I'll have to trust your judgement on what's best to bring. Sorry.
[Poe isn't even aware that a vibrator is an option? It's Schrödinger's sex toy but it technically counts as a valid object to bring??]
[Is he sick or is he horny?? Now he's getting mixed messages. Sure, he'll figure it out when he gets there, but he needs to be able to mentally prepare himself here!!]
[He'll just... prepare for both. Either way, if Poe's been cooped up for 5 days and plans to stay indoors until the triple moon ends, he could probably use a good restock on food. And snacks. Those are important.]
[Of course, it's only when thinking about all this that it occurs to Ranpo that he's in the midst of Cordis' effects, and would probably... be a dangerous companion right now...]
[...]
[Fuck it--]
Don't worry about it! I'll be there in a bit, okay?

Do you need me to bring anything?
Like food?
[A vibrator?]
