Week 5.

[trustfellowship]

WEEK 5 Another week has passed; another two people have died. Tsubasa Hanekawa and Nachetanya Loei Piena Augustra have joined the ranks of the deceased. Whatever you may have thought about them in the end, one thing hovers heavy over the group: the fact that neither their compassion nor their ambition was enough to keep them alive in here. Is yours? Saturday is given to regrouping and rest; the static blares out early on Sunday, but at least there are no bodies to find today - it seems you're safe for now. The night before wasn't necessarily a peaceful one, however; you'll probably feel a bit groggy when you wake up, and it seems you've regained something that you didn't realize you'd lost... And of course, with another successful trial comes a new addition to the building, another corridor opening up on the west side of the building. The doors leading to it branch off of the hallways leading to the second and fourth sections of the building; have those doors always been there? You can't remember... It's a new week. Of course, that means you've been here for over a month, and your stay doesn't seem to be coming to a close yet. PATIENTS REMAINING: 22

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

You were looking for me? I've been, ah, busy. [ That totally sounds like an acceptable answer, sure Ryoji. ]

[arebetter]

[ Here she is, in her skull PJs, having spent much of her day stewing over her own memory, and this boy says this to her. ]

Busy, huh? With what?

[cadmiums]

[ He likes Pizzazz, he really does, but she's a-

He doesn't really have it in him to lie right now. ]

The same thing you've been doing, I imagine.

[arebetter]

[ Welcome to Pizzazz's social circle, Ryoji my dude. ]

If you've been playing guitar all day we need to talk about that asap.

[cadmiums]

[ A muted smile. ]

I can't play any instruments, but I like listening to music.

[arebetter]

I'll have to play something outside of my room again sometime.

[ She sighs. ]

But alright, what's actually up?

[cadmiums]

I don't want to talk about it... [ He could just leave it there, but it feels wrong to when she's helped him so much. ]

I remembered something important, and I don't really regret learning it but...it's still hard.

[arebetter]

Remembered something, huh?

[ She puts her book away on the shelf and picks up another one, holding it experimentally. ]

I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours.

[cadmiums]

[ A hand goes to his scarf and he looks at her, though his eyes are incredibly sad. ]

I can't-shouldn't... I'm sorry.

[arebetter]

Shouldn't? Okay, why shouldn't you tell me?

[cadmiums]

[ He's quiet for a long time as he fusses with his scarf. ]

Because I like you and don't want to hurt you.

[arebetter]

Ryoji, and I say this without any intention to act on it, I could probably knock you cold in like thirty seconds. You're not gonna hurt me.

1/2

[cadmiums]

[ That actually gets him to snap out of this funk he seems to be in, face full of surprise. ]

[cadmiums]

[ He settles back into an expression that is definitely more muted than his usual one, but he seems much better than he was a few moments ago. ]

Yeah, you're right.

[ ... ]

It's my burden to bear, and no one else's. Does that make sense?

[arebetter]

[ "It's my burden to bear." Pizzazz sighs. ]

Hey, Ryoji, do you know what the secret to being in a band is?

[cadmiums]

No, what is it?

[arebetter]

Communication. Nothing's just your burden.

And the way I see it? We're basically a supergroup here. So I'm not going to force you, but I'm not sure keeping a bunch of secrets here is a great idea.

[cadmiums]

Ah...why do you think it's not a good idea?

[arebetter]

Because we're all on the same side. Or we need to be.

[cadmiums]

It has to do with home, not here. It doesn't change that I want everyone to get safely home, either.

[arebetter]

Alright. I don't push when it comes to this kind of thing, that's not what I do. And if you think it doesn't apply here, go for it. But if you want someone like... completely removed from whatever weird thing you probably remembered, I'd listen, I guess is what I'm saying.

[cadmiums]

I wish it was just weird.

[ ... ]

Maybe some other time... thank you.

[arebetter]

No prob. As long as it doesn't hurt anyone here. Except maybe the Risen.

[cadmiums]

The last thing I ever want to do is hurt anyone.

[ .................................... ]

But I can make an exception for them.

[arebetter]

Damn right.

[ ... ]

And... obviously don't hurt the Transmitter, she's part of the "anyone here," but. I get the feeling that's not in the cards for you.
