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

4/4

[heritrix]

[It's only as he's leaving that she remembers to seize back on to that annoyance, even if she has to take it in a new direction.]

H-Hey, what was that about?! [She climbs off the platform, heading back for him.] We were having a good time, weren't we?

[relieable]

[honestly, Osomatsu wasn't really looking to put himself down, rather he is more concerned with Rin taking any stock into what he says. he jokes around a lot, but to call a girl weird... that was rude, no two ways about it. even calling Jyushimatsu weird was rude, but what else can he call Jyushimatsu? it doesn't mean that he doesn't love his brother, but Jyushimatsu is miles away from any of them understanding him.

anyway.

Osomatsu pauses when Rin speaks to him, his hands tucked into his pants pockets. they were having a good time, before he made things awkward]

...Yeah. [a sad smile as he turns his head over his shoulder] Sorry about that.

[heritrix]

[He's trying to smooth things over, but he's gotten her on a roll now because she's completely missed his point.]

"Sorry"? That came out of nowhere! I was annoyed, but I didn't say any of those things.

[relieable]

[just shoot him now. he's going to make everyone mad at him at this rate. ugh, he really is awful]

... [what does he even say? why is he still standing here?]

It's just. Most girls I talk to... that's what they think. [ah, it finally comes out, softly]

[heritrix]

[Huff.] Admittedly I wouldn't look twice at you either, but that's because until this I'd have no reason to. Do you like who you are as a person?

[relieable]

Yes! I mean... Sometimes? For the most part, I do... [but there are some things Osomatsu probably doesn't like about himself]

[heritrix]

[She seems to intuit that; as much because of what he's said about himself as it is due to human nature.]

Then you don't have a problem. Keep the things you like about yourself the same, and change whatever you see as a flaw. Most of the things you're so concerned about are easy fixes.

Cooking and cleaning for yourself like an adult, getting a job? If you can survive this, you'll never have a problem with those things again. And you know something else?

[She leans in, pointing a finger at his chest.] Girls will like you for it. Girls like guys who can take care of themselves, and won't mooch off of them. They're happiest when a guy pays for dinner, or has the money to buy them flowers. Or says "hey, let's have a night in!" and can cook at home.

[relieable]

[but all that sounds so hard.

...then again, Rin is right. if Osomatsu can survive this whole... mess... then getting a job would be easy. though Osomatsu's not sure how he will go back to being normal after this traumatic event. he's not even sure he'll last longer]

...Yeah. [he agrees with her, but he still looks a bit gloomy. he sighs, then takes in a breath, then lightly pats his cheeks to force away the sad thoughts] You're really good at pep-talks, you know?

[heritrix]

[...she turns red a little, head turned.]

I wouldn't call that a pep talk. That was me letting off steam. [She waves a hand at him in a shooing motion, as if to banish those thoughts.] If it benefits you, that's just a bonus.

[relieable]

[heh... Osomatsu is beginning to think he is figuring out how Rin works. he smiles again, at last]

A bonus, huh? [hehe. he rubs his nose, a bit embarrassed about earlier] Whatever you say.

[heritrix]

[Nerds.

A short pause follows as Rin stands there, risking a glance at him after a moment.]

Anyway, whatever happens regarding all of that is up to you. But even if you give up immediately, I think your normalcy is a strength. For everything you lack, you have something incredible.

[relieable]

[his... normalcy is incredible? Osomatsu's never heard anyone say that before]

Incredible... [his eyes flick down for a moment in thought. he's blushing lightly] That's another thing most people don't say when they meet me.

[heritrix]

You really don't get it, huh?

[She doesn't sound annoyed, it's just an observation.]

No, I imagine you wouldn't. It's one of those things that only stands out in a place like this.

[And with that enigmatic statement, she makes to go.] I think I'll go look around the new corridor some more. I'll see you later, Matsuno-san.

[relieable]

[WHAT DO YOU MEAN, RIN]

Ahh... Okay, later... [he holds up his hand in a wave, looking a bit confused. but he's not upset, at least]

[heritrix]

[With no hard feelings on her end, Rin gives him a friendly smile as she leaves. She never intends to explain.

But he might figure it out later.]
