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.]

Fucking cruel.

If we can keep someone from killing again, at least we won't have to worry about... that.

[imaginex]

I wish that were possible, but...

[Sakura's not optimistic]

There are so many people here who want to go home, and they're trained... professionals.

[arebetter]

Yeah. The best we can hope for might be hope they at least wait a couple weeks so we can figure some things out.

[A nod]

It might help if everyone meets later. Maybe if we brainstorm ideas...

[arebetter]

A meeting sounds like a good idea. The more everyone acts like a unit about this the better.

[imaginex]

Yes. [Picking lightly at her food]

At least that way we can all work for a common goal. No matter how much we want to get out, I don't think anyone here wants to kill.

[arebetter]

No, I don't think so either. Unless we have a secret serial killer somewhere, but I don't see that in anyone here.
