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. ))

[There's a pause before she answers.]

It is about many things.

[ratherdoweddings]

You can talk to me if you want. I'm no professional, but, well, our therapist on the Nadesico wasn't the greatest to begin with, either.

[There's a pause, and then the shower door opens to reveal Arianna. Shockingly, she looks like she's been crying.]

Captain Yurika...

[ratherdoweddings]

[Yurika nearly cries herself just looking at Arianna. She just shakes her head and opens her arms for her.]

It's okay. I'll make sure of it. Tell me what's wrong

[daughterofthemark]

[Arianna takes an awkward step toward her, wanting to hug but also not wanting to accept something she doesn't think she deserves.]

I am.

[ratherdoweddings]

[Yurika hugs her gently and shakes her head.]

You? But you haven't done anything wrong.

[daughterofthemark]

[...okay, yeah, she clings.]

I have done nothing right. --you were in a different group before, so of course you don't know. But it was different last time.

[ratherdoweddings]

It was different for us, too. Probably worse. But we're still having all these troubles, still having people die, even when most of us are nice and nobody's trying to hold anyone back. It's not your fault.

[daughterofthemark]

[She shakes her head.]

It was better before. People died, but... we stood together.

[ratherdoweddings]

Your group was probably better off than mine. But I know we can still stand together. Even if Church-san was being so... himself today. Even if Junpei-kun's lost hope.

[daughterofthemark]

...Sir Junpei...

[ratherdoweddings]

Maybe we can still get through to him. I'm sure he's not always like that.

[daughterofthemark]

I'm certain he was affected strongly by the memories we've recently regained.

[ratherdoweddings]

Four death games. He doesn't think there's any escape. The only thing to do is to prove him wrong.

[daughterofthemark]

Not only the games, but the people he has become close to, only to lose them over and over...

[ratherdoweddings]

I know! We should do something for him. Something to make things better and give him a reason to believe in us.

[daughterofthemark]

...have you any ideas?

[All Arianna's got is sads.]

[ratherdoweddings]

I'm not sure. Maybe he'll show up if we have a party at some point? After all, he's a detective, so he'll want to gather information.
