Week 5

Week 5

[It's been five weeks (~~since you looked at me~~) and with the deaths of Shadow and Rukia, the group that was initially 20 strong has dwindled down to ten. Ten people in the span of a month and, even with the Overseers seeming increase in empathy for the remaining Champions, there is no end in sight for the Champion Excellence Program.

And again at 7 am on Sunday the mechanical woman's voice chimes to awaken the remaining champions on Sunday morning. After the initial wake-up call there is no new floor announcement this week.

And again the Champions are awakened they have regained one new memory from the ones they've lost. Starting again on Sunday, as well, Jamie and Bolton will be back to their usual office hours in their usual locations.]

Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday

That explanation? Screw Bolton.

[Well, not for the pedal car but...]

I'm going to burn every last copy. Lying bastard...

Bolton-san writes books now? Or makes cars?

Forget the car. He really likes books by Stephen King. So I'm burning them all.

[At least the ones she had on her possession.]

That seems a little mean-spirited. You don't think they were behind the motive, do you? I know that's their job, but it doesn't seem to make a lot of sense.

They said that no one would find out! They lied.

Wha-- ...your secret. And now the computer hijacked the motive and is threatening us all with them.

...It's been a long time since we got here, hasn't it? Since that very first trial.

[The last time Kurumi took her anger out on the first convenient target.]

I have every right to be angry. I'm not hurting any of us doing this. I'm not thrashing the gym or the art room.

[She's not Shadow.]

I know you do, and I'm not saying you have no reason to be angry at all. Everyone's on edge. Some of us have secrets that can't get out. But trying to hurt the first person you associate with it, even with evidence that they didn't really ask for their motive to be hijacked, isn't going to keep those secrets locked down. Maybe I'm not keeping any secrets, but for all of you, we have to keep it together and focus on what's really keeping us here.

You're right but this is making me feel better.

[She's a kid. Let her quiet protest be heard.]

...Did you get anything out of the dumbwaiter today?

This dumb car.

You're right, there are a lot of them. I bet they have a whole warehouse they're bringing them up from.

Can I at least burn it, then?

As long as we're not all downwind from the smell of burnt plastic, I think you can do whatever you want to the toy cars. I actually still have one if you want to wreck that too, and if you and Ricky-chan hate them that much, I can't really decorate with it.
