[ god. today was so exhausting and nico very, very desperately kind of wants to drop dead and pass out for a few hours.

but he's not, because he has people to check on, and it's why he makes his way to snorm with the hopes of running into a certain girl. ]

Saya. [ just to get her attention. ] ...it's been...a really, really long day. Are you good?

[squelching]

... I'm fine.

[she is not. she looks the angriest he's ever seen her, really. but she's holding it together for now.]

I just want it to be tomorrow already.

[resumed]

[ can't wait for saya to be the one to kill adlet tbh. but anyway he understands that she's holding it together and he only nods because that is such a mood. he won't call her out on it. ]

Too bad that's not a power we can have. Fast-forwarding through time. Maybe then we could bypass all of these terrible weeks and get out of here. [ ... ] ...I know it's wrong, but I do kind of think things will be a little better after the execution. For him and for us.

[squelching]

[bold of you to assume rng will be that nice to her.]

Yeah... Any sort of time travel would be nice right about now. [where is their option to skip all the cutscenes? god.] Why do you think it's wrong?

[resumed]

Maybe it'll happen later. Like a bonus. [ no. ] I don't necessarily think it's wrong, I just think other people think it's wrong. Like other people might say it's cruel and horrible to look forward to something like that when it's only a matter of restoring balance again.

[squelching]

... Sometimes it's necessary for people to die, though. [so, yeah? she agrees.] And some of them will feel relieved when it happens, even if they say it's wrong.

[resumed]

And then there're the ones who're too scared to admit there's relief in that. [ but he can't judge anybody for that either. ] ...now, as long as someone doesn't decide to try and avenge Adlet, maybe we'll get through the next week a little easier.

[squelching]

[...

she tiredly looks at the horizon.]

You mean, like Hanako?

[the one remaining adlet stan.]

[resumed]

[ an equally tired sigh. ]

Like Hanako. I'm hoping he won't have strong feelings about this whole thing, but that guy's always a little bit of a wildcard.

[squelching]

He's going to make things difficult for everyone if he tries something...

[the adults are not going to vote for a 13-year-old even if he was the only killer that week. chaos.]

[resumed]

We'll just have to try and talk him out of any ideas he gets. I might leave that to one of you guys.

[squelching]

... His team would probably have the best luck. He's pretty attached.

[resumed]

Then I'll leave it to Datz. Not that I don't trust Ryuki, but...I feel like Datz might be the one holding all of them together by now.

[squelching]

Mhmm... Yeah. Ryuki's old, but I don't think he's in any condition to be responsible for them.

["ryuki is old," says local teen, turning a man in his 20s into dust.]

[resumed]

[ sorry, hang on, he has to laugh a little. ]

Did you seriously call Ryuki old? [ it's easier to focus on this rather than ryuki's very obvious brain damage. ]

[squelching]

[she hehes? tiredly.]

He's older than us.

[resumed]

Yeah but not by that much. I guess.
