come out of hiding, i'm right here beside you

[barehands]

[A while after the execution has ended, everyone will find a simple note slipped under their door.]

If you don't want to be alone after everything that's happening, some of us will be in the dining room. Even if you decide not to come, please remember that you aren't alone here.

[The note isn't signed, but the handwriting is feminine and neat.

For anyone who decides to come, there's a good array of food laid out on the table. There are some small and simple cakes, cookies, and pastries, a healthy amount of okonomiyaki, okayu, and other Japanese dishes (with a focus on rice and eggs), along with curry. In addition, there are pancakes, and a large pot of soup. It looks like a few people collaborated to make enough food for everyone here.

Just like the meal they shared together earlier in the week, the candles from the storage room lend a more peaceful light than the fluorescent lights above.]

There's always a chance of something going wrong. It would have been nice. Do you believe it'll happen again?

[dangerousfool]

...I don't know. Maybe not? I mean, she didn't know we'd all die, and now we all know. Nobody'd try to kill everyone here like that, right?

[He's really trying to believe it won't happen again]

[crywiththesaints]

There are people who want things more than they fear death. People who will easily kill for their goals. Even people who want nothing more than human extinction. Even if it's true that most people will obey the rules of society, that doesn't indicate that all will.

...

[Well isn't that a cheery thought]

You really think there's people like those in here?

[crywiththesaints]

Who knows? But in a place like this, it would be good to be wary.

[dangerousfool]

[Be wary...okay, fine, he'll be wary. Not that it's easy to do just like that, Wheatley is rather willing to not see enemies in random people]

Well if it happens again we have a few people here who can solve whatever happens. They'll keep us all safe. I don't know how they did it, but they did great!

[crywiththesaints]

You don't believe you contributed, then?

[dangerousfool]

No, I think they did well without me.

[He knows very well he wasn't of any help. That did have him rather dispirited earlier, but by now he seems to have gotten over it]

[crywiththesaints]

I see. Sometimes that happens. There will always be another opportunity, if you're worried.

[dangerousfool]

I bet what I need is to find some really good evidence. Yes, I'll find something good and that'll solve the case!

[crywiththesaints]

Just try not to leave a mess.
