Week 4

[airlockedmods]

[After everything that this case was, you probably don't want to deal with anything else. But you wake up on Sunday, just like before, with some new memories, and some new stores to check out.

Let's see what this week brings.]

Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday

(( Don't forget to check in, and check your memory regains! You can also stop by the gacha machine and Xander's office hours. ))

[She takes a small drink and-- mmmmmmmmmm.]

...more memories?

[Just a guess.]

[burninglight]

...you too, hm?

[hey: this sucks.]

How bad were yours?

[induality]

...yeah.

[seriously.]

From "everyone's in happy mandatory space therapy because you're all murderers", going through a pirate invasion to... the horrible game I knew I'd eventually see.

[...]

The people that died didn't mean anything to me. But... the killer... he was truly awful.

[........]

W-what about you?

[burninglight]

...we lost someone I think I'd have called a friend. It turned out one of our number was...not exactly as cooperative as the rest, and turned on us to kill him for some idiotic reason. I don't even think she was evil, just stupid and selfish.

[induality]

...there's supposedly a traitor in our group. N-not that I have any idea where they are now if they're still alive or who that could be...

L-like I don't already have enough trouble trusting what people say...

[She frowns.]

...I'm sorry. A lot of people that die in this stupid game aren't evil. Some of them are just scared. Others are greedy. The game is designed to bring out the worst in people-- things that are inside all of us. Some people just... snap...

[burninglight]

Don't apologize. I think I have the same problem.

[Ardyn shook his head, frowning.]

I suppose we all knew someone would crack, sooner or later. Perhaps we just...wanted to think it wold be alright.

[induality]

I knew better... logically there's no reason to believe this wouldn't end. The old me would have known not to expect anything different. Spend enough time with idiots and... s-sometimes you end up thinking like them.

[The way she says it, though doesn't hide the small amount of fondness she feels.]

Even so I'm... angry. At myself. I should have known. And because... I was unkind to people who made the effort to be my friend not once b-but twice...

["People" being... Soma.]
