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.]

I suppose there's no harm in asking...but talking with her seems like such a hassle at the same time.

[Or maybe he's just anxious to talk over the phone. Who knows.]

I'm not sure if she would be willing to give up that information, either.

[He can still text! If he knows how to do that...]

Really? This particular piece doesn't seem like that big of a deal.

[He can...but that's so much effort...!]

Maybe it isn't, however with a murder occurring, we should probably make sure it's not an act or something of the like.

An act?

[He hadn't considered this. What does Kogami mean?]

She could be feigning stupidity for all we know. Until we get to know her better, we won't know.

[And it's hard to tell not seeing her face to face.]
