[Zero's already seen the hospital, so!! That's where she'll find herself the next time she walks through a door after requesting the meeting.
Carlos is waiting for her right outside the room, glaring at the ground like he's trying to burn a hole through it. His expression smoothens out once he notices she's arrived, but... not by much. He's still blatantly unhappy, even as he nods at her in greeting.]
... If you're here to yell at me, don't. I didn't want things to turn out this way either.
He looks like he wants to chew her the fuck out for a second— but then he sucks in a sharp breath. Rubs at his face. Finds his inner chill. Breathes out!!]
What, exactly, do you think you're going to get out of yelling at me?
[ for the briefest moment, Zero almost does the same. she can practically hear it now - the shrill cry of, "Zero, that's mean!" wailed at her. she almost backs off.
but. he's not here anymore. and now she won't be, either. ]
Well it's not like you're good for anything else, are you?
[ yeah. you're not good for anything else except ruining things, are you, Zero ]

How do I save her?
[ there has to be something, right...? ]
no subject
He's quiet for a long, long moment.
When he speaks up again, the only answer he has to share is most likely not the one Zero hoped to hear.]
You can't.

[ ah. she's upset. but it's easier to be angry than upset. ]
no subject
[He gets that she's upset. He's upset, too. But ffs, yell at someone else.]
She got the majority vote, Zero. We can't change that.
no subject
A majority of three people?! The majority is wrong! This isn't even going to touch the demon that caused all of this shit, is it!
[ hm, or was it four people...? well, they're wrong too ]

He's not obligated to sit here and take this, soooooooo...]
If that's what you came here to say, I'll see you on Tuesday.

she whirls around and stalks through the door, slamming it behind her. ]
