Post-Trial I Afterparty

[cellpreservation]

[They're down two of their number, and who knows how many more will follow, but for tonight at least... They have a chance to rest.

The school has already been cleaned, leaving no signs of the deaths that occurred on this very day, but that's just as well. After looking around to make sure of that much, Yuta marches into the kitchen and, after a bit of looking around, ends up gathering some snacks: boxed crackers and apple slices that aren't perfectly even in cut but look, he's not the chef of his group, he did his best. These he sets out on some plates in the cafeteria before finding his usual seat to lounge in, eating some apple slices off of a smaller plate he grabbed just for himself.

And then, he waits - to see who trickles in, and who doesn't.

Where is your character in the aftermath?]

...

'm sorry I couldn't save Reika from being killed...

[keyringwitness]

I should've... I'm so stupid... I should've seen, done something, but she... she was just so nice, and...

[violence_ensues]

mmmmm....

Mao Mao once told me that... a hero can be wrong as long as they never give up and do what's right. It's okay to make mistakes.

[keyringwitness]

A m- mistake can get people killed here if we're not careful... I already make so many mistakes, I've, I've run out of second chances, I can't...

[violence_ensues]

You should...! A hero never abandons their friends, no matter how high the stakes. I don't care how many mistakes you make. I make a lot of mistakes, too.

[So many...]

[keyringwitness]

...you're a hero, Adorabat.

I'm- I'm just some side character. An extra. T- That was always my role.

[She hangs her head.]

That's all dumb Yasu is ever going to be.

[violence_ensues]

ooooo... Anybody can be a hero if they wanted to! I wasn't born one, I just became one!

[keyringwitness]

...how? I don't see how anybody like m- me could... could...

[Be useful. Be smart. Be more than a vessel for something better.]

CW: Adorabat

[violence_ensues]

[THEN ADORABAT DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO TELL YOU. Seriously, this is starting to get annoying to her...]

...Then be that way. But I gotta say... your scar is cool.

[keyringwitness]

[If Adorabat was hoping to cheer Yasu up... that only makes her feel worse. She shrinks back in on herself, starting to cry again.]

APOLOGIES, YASU

[violence_ensues]

[Adorabat gives off a frustrated sigh before just flying off elsewhere. She's not gonna waste her time with someone who doesn't try.]
