[selfimmolation]

... I don't know. We don't exactly know why people have been going along with it. Is someone telling them they have to kill?

[ there is no way to know because so many killers keep just dying. damn. rude of them. ]

And there's nothing we've been able to do that affects it, either.

[squelching]

Maybe it's what happened to Chiemi. But I know Argalia just felt like it. [argalia was really just Like That.] ... Reigen told me he said something to Yae Miko and she apparently got offended enough to try to make him kill himself, and then one thing led to another. So I don't know if they were just randomly awake like Mika and Rocket, or what.

[selfimmolation]

... I don't know. Chiemi must've picked Norma on purpose. [ but that's a thing he hates thinking about so let's move on ] That Argalia guy was "testing" things out, and it sounded like just having the thought of wanting to kill Chiemi was enough to keep him awake. If Yae Miko got offended before that and wanted to kill Reigen... maybe that's how it worked.

[ which is like. damn. betrayed by your thoughts ]

[squelching]

... So, theoretically, it could happen to anyone as long as they think about it hard enough. [which is. not great.] But none of the deaths since Mika and Rocket have been accidental, I think. So you probably still have to be a little bit committed to going through with it?

[selfimmolation]

If anyone was on the fence and woke up on Thursday night, they'd probably go for it, since now it's become obvious it's kill or be killed.

[ reigen tried... and failed... ]

[squelching]

... Yeah. I guess they'd probably assume whoever they run into plans to kill them, anyway. Even if it's not true.

[selfimmolation]

I can't exactly blame everyone for being paranoid at this point, either.

[ our 5 bodies ]

[squelching]

Me neither... I know I'd assume the worst, too.

[selfimmolation]

[ hmmm. speaking of; ]

Hey. If something like what happened to Reigen happened to you... tell someone, alright? Reigen, or Nimona, or-- [ gestures vaguely like he is also an option but he doesn't expect that ]

[squelching]

[she stares in surprise, and then. just. nods? dumbly?]

... Okay.

[a little quietly.]

But— you have to tell someone, too. Okay? It doesn't have to be me, but I'd still want to help you... Just don't do what Reigen did and I promise I won't be mad.

[selfimmolation]

[ he just did it to her but it's still his turn to look a little surprised ]

... Right. [ he grins a little ] I promise I won't be as stupid as Reigen if it happens to me.

[squelching]

... Good.

[and then she's silent for a moment, before she silently holds out her pinkie.

seal the deal like we're in elementary school, sir.]

[selfimmolation]

[ he blinks at her...

then he grins and hooks his pinkie with hers!! ]

[squelching]

[she brightens considerably.]

Now it's a deal.
