week 7
[For the first time in several weeks there is no new memorial in the garden. No new body in the morgue, no bloody mess for the roombas to clean. Choromatsu is still in need of time to heal and constant vigilance but he's alive. They're all alive for once on a Sunday and, even with the terrible realizations their returning memories may bring, there's a sense of hope for the first time in a long time.
There is no new floor this week.

Much later in the day (though very definitely during the day), when he thinks the food rush is most likely to have abated and the kitchen will be empty, he returns to the kitchen with. Er. Some sticky tape from the storage room, a piece of paper, and... four of those glow-in-the-dark ping pong balls?
Like a kid, he clambers onto the counter and tapes that shit to the ceiling, one ping pong ball at each corner of the page. No one ever looks up, you know? And the glow of the balls would only get anyone's attention if they fucking locked themselves in the kitchen at night.
And of course no one would ever be that dumb.
Late afternoon sees him feeling a bit better as he drops by Cece's room for a much-belated friend date. Knock knock knock. He's got his swim trunks on with his hoodie and some water balloons in a bucket from the kitchen.]
Hey, Cee. You've got two options: two-person pool party, or water balloon fight in the garden. The choice is yours.

If you want to confront the culprit herself, she'll be in the garden today it seems -- looks like she's trying to make up for all the flowers she had to use for those bookmarks. ]

[...Scratch that, it was hilarious. You know, in the way things that were so ironic they hurt could also be funny. Maybe he'd keep that to himself for now, or maybe it would prove such a stunning twist of flower-based coincidences that it had to be mentioned.]
[For now, he just went looking for Yuuri in her usual spot, staying as much in the shade as he could manage.]
I think 'strength of character and honor' are approaching wishful thinking in regards to myself, don't you?

But it's a gift. To him. To all of them. And it's sweet and thought got actually put into it.
We're so lucky to have you here with us.
...Is that right?
He's here not specifically to find Yuuri, but to identify the remaining flower petal on the back, because it doesn't look like the others. Maybe it doesn't mean anything, but...the others mean something, so this one has to, and oh that's Yuuri oh shit maybe he should just let her do her thing and get out of sight and nothing to see here that is not a rustling bush it's just the nonexistent wind.]

He also leaves a pair of funyarinpants hanging on room 8's door. You're welcome, Junpei.
Through the day, he can be found nosing through the first aid room, flipping through song selection in the karaoke bar, and at one point? Is in the kitchen attempting to cook something.
...Someone might want to watch him in case he sets fire to something. Again.]

MEETING
CW: Suicide just in case
The charts are... Last week, PAL contacted me. I was alone in my room. We... Mostly talked about cooking, of all things, and he asked me why I offered to listen to him. He also got embarrassed when I thanked him for cheering me up, even if he didn't mean to, and he said he appreciated having someone to listen. It was... Very odd. He also said he can't completely shake off his programming. ...And refused to answer me straight when I asked if he was lonely.

[Ardyn spoke up over the arguments about PAL, scowling.]
Don't misunderstand what I am about to say--I agree that he's to be held accountable for all he's done to us, and I am not about to forgive him for his part by any means. But are you all really that stupid that you've no idea what you're saying?
Maybe he is being directed to be a villain finding some shred of morality. And you're all going to condemn that instead of someone who chose to be evil?
And furthermore, if we're to assume the network is forcing us into such a contrived plot, how can any of you know that the real antagonist you were all meant to unite against was not among you from the start?

cw: suicide also just in case
But once things die done enough that he can, he's going to clear his throat. ]
Um... I have something that I need to say... something important.
I... wanted to start by saying I'm sorry, again. I've already apologized to a few of you but... w-what I did was stupid and selfish. I... can't apologize enough for putting everyone through that. But that's not the main thing I came here to say.
When... w-when I... did that, I made sure to lock all the doors in the bathroom. I didn't want... to be found or interrupted. But Heart-san said he heard a bang on the door, one that couldn't have been me, and the door was unlocked.
There was... there was someone there who got to me first, somehow. And I was still awake when they were there. I didn't see them come in, but I did see them over the bathtub. They pulled me out... they're the ones who wrapped my arms up to slow the bleeding. I remember a blanket and my cat pillow too, I've been told that matches up to how everyone found me.
But the thing is, and I swear on my life that this is what I saw, but the person... was Takumi.

[There was, however, a bottle of that cinnamon-flavored whiskey left partially empty in the karaoke bar, next to shards of what had likely been a glass at some point.]
[Ardyn himself had ended up in the same place he'd been weeks before, when he'd screamed and raged against the heavens for casting him aside--the storage closet--except this time there was no righteous fury. Just Ardyn, the relative darkness, and a black stain on the wall where he'd punched it a few too many times.]
[They were all starting to crack, and he'd already broken too much to even make himself care right now.]
[But eventually, after who the hell even knew how long--Ardyn's sense of time was not the most accurate--he glanced up to the nearest camera like a thought had just occurred to him.]
...You're listening, are you not? As per usual, I've no doubt.

ATTN: PAL
There's one thing that came up that she's resolved to address, though. She's not certain she understands that, either, but she's done enough sitting around useless. Which is why she heads up to the dance studio since it's unoccupied for now, and sets about finding a camera.]
Sir PAL? Are you there?
