Week 7

[airlockedmods]

[Well that weekend sucked. The Champions are down a dad and a bean and shrinking their numbers smaller and smaller, less and less.

There's no sign of life in the spaceport aside from PAL's omnipresent voice and SIS, the helpful asSIStant who has some control over certain heres and theres in the spaceport. She (and PAL) are available at all times and can appear anywhere if called. There is, however, a new floor to explore. Just hop in the elevator and pchoo.]

[Yurika hugs Jane tightly and ruffles her hair a little before sighing.]

I'm so sorry, Jane-chan.

[cyan_maid]

H-Hey - no, don't...you have nothing to be sorry for...

[ratherdoweddings]

But I should have known! I gave Kurumi-chan that whistle and I believed she wouldn't kill someone she loved, even to save her friend's sanity.

[cyan_maid]

There's no way you could have known, though...! It's - it's impossible, Yurika, you couldn't have...nobody knew what would happen, we were all messed up inside, and...

[Mmmmmm her voice is cracking dammit she didn't want to cry]

...We all...did what we could do. And I will never, ever hold it against you for giving someone something out of genuine concern.

[ratherdoweddings]

[sniff. Snugs.]

It just feels like all of this could have been prevented. Every time.

[cyan_maid]

...W-Well...we just...ought to be on our guard then, shouldn't we? A little more than usual.

[Because she won't blame Yurika. Not now, not ever.]

[ratherdoweddings]

Right. Even... if it happens again. Or keeps happening. It can't go on forever.

[cyan_maid]

...It'll end. Somehow, someway. We may not like how it ends...but it will. I...I promise, it can't be forever. It can't be all there is for us...!

[ratherdoweddings]

You're right. And I'll make absolute sure to get as many of us through this as I can!

[cyan_maid]

[Just going to hug Yurika real tight...probably not let go for a little bit. She's trying to be the one to reassure you for a change, if you need it.]

[ratherdoweddings]

[Snug snug.]

Thank you, Jane-chan. I don't know what we'd do without you.

[cyan_maid]

...I'd hope if I was anyone else, you'd be at a relatively similar level of okay at least.

[ratherdoweddings]

Oh, don't sell yourself short. You're our friend! You've always been there to help us out.

[cyan_maid]

It's not so much...that is...I'd rather be humble about it, you know? I'm just me.

[ratherdoweddings]

Believe me, I know that`s always important, too. But you are who you are, no matter what anyone says, anyway.

[cyan_maid]

...

[mmmmMMORE HUGGING]

You're wonderful too, Yurika. Just how you are.

[ratherdoweddings]

Well, I'll do my best! For all of us. This can't go on forever.

[cyan_maid]

Mmmm.

[Can she just. Hug you for a while, Yurika? Until she's certain you're going to be okay.]

[ratherdoweddings]

[Yurika hugs Jane back just as tightly as when they thought they were the only ones left.]

I'm right here, and I'm going to be here no matter what they do to us.

[cyan_maid]

...Of course.

[She can't ask Yurika to promise that. They can't promise anything here. But she can accept the words and the comfort now, and hold onto them.]

[ratherdoweddings]

[Even if she dies tomorrow, or the end of this week, or next. Yurika holds onto Jane and nods seriously.]

But if something does happen, I'm not gone, no matter what. I'll be careful, I swear, but just remember that.

[cyan_maid]

...You'll still be in my heart. No matter what.

[ratherdoweddings]

Just like everyone. [sniff] I'm -- I'm so glad you're still here.

[cyan_maid]

I'm glad you're here, too, I - if it was just me...I don't know what I'd do.

[ratherdoweddings]

We won't leave you alone. No matter what they make us do.
