Week 3 Post-Trial

[It's hard to feel much cheer after finding out the culprit. Everyone's welcome to do whatever brings them peace after such a tense time, whether it's jotting down memories before the next loss or finding other things to occupy themselves with.]

What changed?

[scratchitti]

... I had to trust people to survive. Kinda like here- and once I was forced to be around people I started to... you know, see them again. See that I wasn't the only person that mattered. It was rough. I almost didn't manage it and... Alice has taken some of it. But I remember enough for now.

...

If I start acting like a jerk suddenly- uhm... don't hate me too much for it. I won't be able to help it. If she takes all of that away from me.

[xxxx_me]

[Oh. Yeah, he can see how that would be a problem.]

Have you been writing...?

[scratchitti]

[he nods]

But it's not really the same- I... feel like I'm turning into a different person, you know?

[xxxx_me]

...Yeah. I'm trying to write reminders for myself, but...

I feel like I'm becoming hollow again.

[scratchitti]

[he nods]

At least.... she's not taking what we remember about here. So... maybe even if we lose a lot we won't be completely gone.

[He kneels to start the kindling finally, blowing of it carefully]

[He just falls silent, watching Neku work sadly.]
