Week 5

[In a tragic yet seemingly inevitable turn of fate, the Champions have lost Zombina this week. OsoKaramatsu and Korra, too, are gone, both having fallen in their attempts to help their fellow Champions out of terrible circumstances.

Again, the Champions will find themselves experiencing strange dreams on Sunday night, until they're awakened by C.E.C.E.'s announcement. This is all starting to become routine.]

Congratulations, Champions! By surviving your third trial, you have unlocked the fourth floor of the ship. A new mini map has been added to your P.I.P.!

[The trash compactor is completely shiny and new again. In addition, the profiles on the P.I.P.s still inticate that Karamatsu is dead. Because of course he is, right?

Fuck you.]

[She tilts her head at him and smiles, but with the way her eyebrows arch, the expression isn't entirely neutral.]

Which part? Fixing drinks, or offering them to people who shouldn't have them?

[andjerry]

[this guy has absolutely knowingly served high school kids for many, many reasons, but Manaka doesn't need to know that, so he considers for a second.]

... more the first.

It's hard remembering people here are children.

[immaculacies]

Because it's easy to forget, or because you don't want to remember?

[andjerry]

Where is this coming from, Manaka?

[immaculacies]

Eh? I just want to understand what you mean. Is there something wrong with that?

[She really does seem uncertain of his response.]

[andjerry]

There's nothing wrong with it.

I just don't know the answer.

[immaculacies]

Mm, I see! That's fine, then. If it helps, Maclaine-san, you don't have to think of me as a child.

[andjerry]

[hearing that reminds him of just how young she is. she might have turned off most of her emotions except however she feels about Saber, but that need to be seen as so much older that she is is a very childish one. it shakes him, and even as he invites her to come further in he wonders if he should just see if she'll leave.]

...did you have a good night last night? [he means dreams and memories, and in the tone that should be clear enough.

[immaculacies]

[She does come a bit closer, just because it's more polite than talking to him from the doorway. She still leaves a fair distance between herself and the bar, however. She doesn't see the point of it, and she doesn't like the smell.]

Oh! [He smile brightens, genuinely.] Mm-hm! I remembered something...very, very good!

[andjerry]

[AT LEAST SOMEONE DID]

... you did?

[immaculacies]

[At that question, she laughs.]

Is it really so unbelievable?

[andjerry]

No, no, it isn't that! I was- I just wondered.

[immaculacies]

It's a complicated memory. It would be hard to explain it to someone else. But— There aren't any more obstacles in my way! Soon, Saber and I will be able to live happily together!

[andjerry]

[she ran away, he thinks first, and blanches at the idea. no matter how much she loves saber, she's a child essentially on her own.]

Who put it out of the way?

[immaculacies]

I did. [Like the way he pales doesn't even register, she smiles.] I'm— I did everything myself, so Saber wouldn't be troubled by it.

[She almost says, I'm doing it, but that isn't right, is it? It's already happened. It's already over. Her memories just have to catch up to that one reality that has been true from the start. She's sure of that.]
