We're Still Here, We Still Have Each Other

[It takes Fukawa some time to pull herself together but when she does-- she moves with a purpose. Everyone will find a note in practiced writing:]

Though all we've be through today was awful, and you might not want to face it-- you're not facing it alone. There will be food and drink in the VIP Lounge. And company. Whatever your feelings are now, it's okay. I won't tell you want to think or how to feel. But you don't have to carry it alone.

[True to her word, she worked hard to make snacks and light warm foods for everyone as well as drinks-- alcoholic and otherwise. Everyone is welcome. She even stops by the information desk to extend an invitation to SIS.]

...I wish to. Not only with this "show," but with everyone. I want to be her friend again.

[ratherdoweddings]

I hope so. ...Wait, you weren't that old girlfriend, were you? Here I am, speculating on Nari-san's salacious past and the lady she loved and left when Pyrrha-chan came along, and I'm being insensitive!

[daughterofthemark]

What?!

[...everyone probably heard that didn't they]

[ratherdoweddings]

...You're not! Okay!

[daughterofthemark]

She was of course very pretty, but aside from already being involved with Dame Cece--it would be akin to dating one's mother!

[ratherdoweddings]

Okay, so I was really off base there. I'm so sorry, please put that out of your mind!

[Behind the panic, there's a shot to the heart. Dame Cece. Cece Diver from the body pillow. A face and a name to someone whose lost love went down disavowing her. Would she have done the same to Pyrrha eventually? Yurika doesn't want to think so. Maybe Nari was just pretending, just trying to make sense of her life. She and Pyrrha really did seem to love each other.

This is hard.]

[daughterofthemark]

No, I--it is all right. You had no way of knowing.

[...yeah.]

[ratherdoweddings]

This is such a mess.

[daughterofthemark]

Yes.

...we need something to change.

[ratherdoweddings]

We have to make it change, and fast. But I think we have some leads now. Things they think they've already taken care of.

[daughterofthemark]

Or that they never thought to take care of, perhaps.

[ratherdoweddings]

That's true enough. No one's perfect, even if they apparently blindsided us once enough to grab us.

[daughterofthemark]

It is merely a matter of finding their weakness...

[ratherdoweddings]

I think we already know it, which makes us better off than our last games.
