So if 22 people were out in space and majority of them indirectly killed 1 with rocks is that

[ SO THAT... SURE HAPPENED. And not only was it an emotional rollercoaster, it got downright terrifying at the end. Right now Choromatsu honestly wants to go curl up in a ball in his room forever and for a little while he does, just trying to process what he had just seen. But something keeps him from well... not doing that for the rest of the day. Maybe it's the empty stomach, maybe it's still wanting to prove he's not useless, maybe it's Fukawa praising him for putting together a meeting last time... or maybe he just very badly doesn't want to be alone right now after all. Either way, after a while of laying around he grabs the frog stationery he's been using and start writing some notes. ]


Hey
I know that was really terrible. But I think now is when we should really stick together. Show that bastard he and his bosses can't shake us. Even if you don't agree, you don't have to be alone if you don't want to right now.
I'm going to try and make some food. Feel free to join in the food court.

-Choromatsu

[ Choromatsu himself is currently hanging out in the various kitchens, trying to make something. There's already cookies set out, but they're just plain chocolate this time. No creamy centers or icing art, he didn't have time with this batch. There's also going to eventually be some rice dishes, mainly simple fried rice and some attempts at omurice, but those are going to take a while. Because he's not that much of a cook and when he does cook it's not for this many people, plus it's with an entire kitchen he knows, ingredients included. He certainly won't turn down help or be insulted if anyone just makes their own food instead though. ]

[neverheardofhim]

Yeah. Yeah, I think so.

[They'd all tried in their own ways to keep it from happening, and the twenty of them had failed.]

I'm sorry.

[ratherdoweddings]

It's not your fault or even Thomasin-chan's. Even Xander-san, if he'd refused their offer, they'd just hire someone else. People are people, and they'll fall to this exercise if we don't keep trying. Even if we do keep trying, we can fail. But that doesn't mean we give up.

[neverheardofhim]

Hey. You don't need to worry about that. As long as there are people still here, I'll keep trying. I won't... abandon any of you to your fate.

Especially not some of the kids here.

[ratherdoweddings]

They don't deserve this. Nobody does.

[neverheardofhim]

No, they don't. [But the game was still going, and there were still expectations for them.]

We need to try harder next week.

[Even if it was futile.]

[ratherdoweddings]

And every day after, if this really lasts that long. We can't give up. That's the only thing.

[neverheardofhim]

Every day until we find a way to break this game and get out of here. [It's hopelessly optimistic, but if it makes her feel any better, he'll try.]

[ratherdoweddings]

You know, you're right.

[Yurika snaps to the smile they always see her with.]

So we've just got to do our best, right? ♥

[neverheardofhim]

Exactly. And when the others can't, we hold them up and make sure they keep going.

[ratherdoweddings]

You can count on me. That's what I'm great at, you know!

[neverheardofhim]

Then you'll be the reason we make it out of this. Everyone has a role to play, and yours might just be the most critical.

[ratherdoweddings]

I'll do my best. But I know all of us will!
