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?]

But he is working remotely.

But he's real somewhere. And he can't avoid us forever.

Death comes for us all. But six months [the speculated duration of their brainwashing] is a long time.

Death comes for us all, but it's coming for him way faster than it is for us if I have anything to say about it.

[holyironmade]

...I agree.

He is a monster. He cannot be left to his own devices in this realm where he has so much power.

[gotnothing]

Exactly. Unless he makes one hell of a case for literally anything else at the end of this. Even then, there's only so much a tragic backstory can do.

I do wonder if there is some great evil that our spirits are needed to fight, or any such altruistic explanation. But he certainly offers us none.
