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

[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.]

Really-- I think what's important is figuring out who, exactly, the Risen are. Misty won't, or can't, address that directly, but I think their exact motivations are key to understanding what's happening.

[ Nod.] They won't even let her accept gifts, even if she wants to.

Yeah. I can't imagine it's easy, whatever she's going through.

I think you're the first person I've heard say that. Everyone else seemed so angry at her during trial.

I'll admit, the trial pissed me off, but I don't think it was her fault. Getting angry at her is a little like shooting the messenger.

[ Nod.] I think she's a kind person, deep down. I like her. [ This may not be the best thing to admit, but oh well.]

[Even if it's not a good thing to admit...]

Yeah, I like her too.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. [ And he truly looks relieved, especially after some other reactions he's gotten.]

Sakura-chan was confused on why I took her out on a date.
