i'll be dreaming of the day we meet again
[ After she gets Fern patched up, Aligula starts on what might be her Best Party Ever.
...until her next one, anyway. It's no surprise where she's hosting today: it's the dormitory area. Throughout the hours of setting it up, it gets more and more colorful—the doors of the dead (both newly deceased and old) get childish paper cut-out flowers (think the daisy looking ones), while the living get stars. They're all in different colors, with no real discernible pattern! Long strands of ribbon decorate the walls along with more colorful party hat-looking cut-outs, in and out of the little cul-de-sac areas. In the center of the area are blankets laid out with plates of pancakes and trays of tea, stacked on tables made out of books. (There are also parfaits in wine glasses, because of course there are.)
More importantly, there are pillows across the floor of the entire hallway and especially stacked around the center, and in every little room area there's a nice note posted to one of the walls, in Aligula's ever familiar curly handwriting:
Apparently, today's after-party is the slumber party type to even help people who might not want to wander the hallways tonight. ...and look, Luca, she even took your advice. ]

I can commit to that.

... ... ...
Fern, I'm asking you this because... I know if I show this kind of doubt to anyone else, there may be some who will give me an honest, sympathetic answer. But I also know there's some who will just use this to throw it back in my face.
But... I trust your opinion.
What I said, about getting everyone out of here. Do you think we'll be able to?
no subject
Sometimes, when I'm in a... bad place, I think no. I think we should just get used to living here and give up trying to escape.
But I also think... what would we do if we stop trying? What would be the point? Even the killers have hope of getting out of here. So if we lose that, what else is there?
I guess I don't really know what I think. I just know that if there's any chance to do it, we gotta go for it. All of us. Together.

[She looks down at her hands, considering them. There's a very faint pattern of bruising, barely distinguished from the rest of her skin.]
I think that's going to be the real challenge here. Following the rules should lead us out of here eventually, but... you heard Juri, the dead stay dead. Even though Chitoge...
[She pauses, and then lets out a heavy sigh.]
There's no way I can leave here while they're all on the other side of that door. I can't turn my back on them -- my heart won't let me. But... I don't have the first clue on how we can do it.
no subject
We just gotta keep working toward it. Whether we succeed or not... the point is that we need to try. We can't live with ourselves otherwise.
no subject
Yeah. I agree completely. If we let things to be this way, then that's how they'll be. Believing is the first step.
[It's weird. Part of that hearkens back to what Juri told her, of all people. The one she was most angry at about not showing enough humanity is now second on the totem pole after Ferid, who she could have sworn cared in his own strange way.]
I... I know that. I guess it's just been hard. I used to have friends who believed in each other as strongly as I do. They used to keep my spirits up even in my darkest moments. And now, I've had... well...
[You saw that argument in the trial earlier, where people attacked Jean's naivety.]
no subject
But them arguing about philosophy during a trial? That wasn't helping you or anyone here. That was just about distracting things. Which Ferid wanted.
And you were right. He didn't hurt anyone. [She can't say Aymeric's name yet but. He died fighting.]
I don't know about everyone else, but I believe in you.
