Ah. Team games?

[ at this point alex tears through the spacetime continuum to shake him by the shoulders—- no. but also me sat here like wow i almost apped alex. ]

Ultimately, you all had a shared experience. Even if one was in the thick of it and you were trapped in your helper role. Makes sense to me you’d have some sort of automatic connection that you don’t have with a bulk of the others.

... Yeah, I guess.

[ he is uncomfortable when we talk about feelings ]

I didn't want this for her.

[ same buddy. yet here they are. ]

... [ he nods. ]

You mentioned something about a kid at the end. I'm assuming that's her hostage, and why she did what she did.

Shadows are why she did what she did. [ he will correct that, but he looks away ] ... But yeah. That's her hostage.

[ he just thunks his head on the doorframe. ]

So she was possessed.

... Mm. Everyone's lost someone important, one way or another.

Yeah. It sounds like we can expect that to be a recurring theme every week.

[ shadows... the true self. etc. he doesn't comment on the hostage thing, just looks away, because hostages... Suck. ]

Two in a row is where it starts to become less coincidence and more a pattern, yes.

[ FROWNS DEEPLY. ]

...At least we know for sure Sieghart wasn't lying.

[ he didn't think he was but. y'know. there you have it. ]

Hurray.

[ dryly. he sighs. ]

After seeing the shadows leave him, I didn't think he was lying but... confirmation is something useful, I guess.

I didn't either. [ he'll admit it, but he shrugs ] I just woke up. The same must have happened to Flayn. She started moving when she realized she was awake on murder night.

Sounds like a ... not self-fulfilling prophecy, but we know what to expect. So we move to defend ourselves when we find ourselves awake when we shouldn't be.

And then it leads to conflict. Were you on the look out for whoever else was awake, or were you trying to avoid them?

I wasn't thinking that hard about it. Mostly moving out of the room full of people I was in.

[ and then the bar had a bunch but wow they missed them all ... magic ]

… Appreciated.

[ their closet crew…. ]

Then again, no one else is injured even when there’s fighting happening in the same room as them. That’s got to be intentional.

Not like I knew that for sure. No one was around when Flayn and Sieghart fought.

I wonder where they go. Do the staff just move people or use some kind of protection spell…?

[ mysteries. ]

Maybe? I don't know. I wasn't exactly around to see what shit looked like on Friday.

[ he just looks up at the ceiling. ]

On and scale of one through to ten, how disoriented are you?

When I woke up on that table? About a hundred. I guess it's back down to six now.

... Genuinely impressed it's as low as a six.

Getting the memories back kind of helped. Just... don't ask me about anything with that trial.

Trust me, I don't want to think about the trial. Ever again, actually.

[ this headache. ]

That makes at least two of us.

Moving on but not forgetting the important things, then.

[ sweet clem. ]

... Yeah. Let's hope not, anyway.

[ sweet clem cloud will decapitate tomorrow ]

[ stop. ]

... In that case, I should probably let you get some rest.
