[ After everyone leaves the Rose Ceremony, Clarith gets to work. With Nari's help, there's a few snacks set up, and then she delivers a message beneath everyone's doors. ]

Please meet up at the first floor rest area. I don't think people should be alone right now.

- Clarith

[ Takumi's includes a bit extra: "Especially you." Sure enough, there's a few snacks set up in the rest area, but otherwise just. Blankets and pillows set up so that people can pile in as they please. She's waiting, seeming a fair bit tired in more than one way, but... She doesn't want to leave people alone. ]

No, you... You have every right to be mad.

Not at you, though. At PAL? Yes. Your superiors? Absolutely. But... [She shook her head.] I have been saying all along that we should give you more credit, that you were a pawn.

Perhaps you were not as unwitting, but... you are still a victim. And I would be a hypocrite if I condemned you for your mere association.

[He smiles, but thinly.]

Then let's fight PAL together, okay?

[brokencode]

Yeah. Together.
