w1, post-death announcement

[fishingforcompliments]

[Dimitri had run to the direction of the lighthouse earlier that day, and so Flayn eventually heads there as well, once she is able to... uh, dodge some people who are concerned about her. It's fine, it's fine. Don't worry about it.

That's where she finds Shinobu.]

Ah... Shinobu? Is that you?

[wisterin]

Flayn-san.

[ Shinobu's trying to clean off what she can after trying to bury a man a foot taller than she is. ]

Yes. Are you doing all right?

[fishingforcompliments]

I am as well as anyone can be, after...

[Well. After that announcement. She eyes the mess Shinobu is trying to clean off herself, and her brows furrow with concern.]

...are you all right?

[wisterin]

I'm fine, but it would have been more pleasant to wake up without fire and death on the horizon.

[ She smiles. ]

So many people deserve more than to be murdered.

[fishingforcompliments]

[Flayn nods her agreement, her expression downcast.]

I... had really hoped that the voice was lying. I did not want any of this to be real.

[wisterin]

It would have been nice if the voice was lying from the very beginning, but then someone or multiple someones decided to make it truth.

[ None of that is nice. She really hates so much of this. ]

And now, we are all in danger and the voice wants us to kill even more.

[fishingforcompliments]

Tomorrow.... what shall we do? There must be some way to stop the killing...

[It's a small, fragile hope, because the voice says there isn't, and the voice hasn't been wrong so far. Bad.]

[wisterin]

We must do our best to keep everyone in check. There are those who would want to take justice into their own hands, and there are those who will do anything to get away with murder.

[ She knows both types. ]

It will be difficult, but I don't think it's impossible.

[ Good intentions only get you so far, but sometimes, you only need that jumping point to spring intentions into reality. ]

[fishingforcompliments]

...do you think that whoever killed did so for the pleasure of it?

[Because that is a scary thought.]

Or did they do so because they thought it was the only way to survive?

[wisterin]

Whichever reason, I don't condone it. If it's the latter, that's more understandable.

[ She smiles because even if it's understandable, it still makes her angry. ]

I wouldn't be surprised if it were both.

[fishingforcompliments]

...I hope we can figure out who did it.

[ha ha ha]

[wisterin]

[ I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU LED ME TO POINT MURDER AT SOMEONE CHILDLIKE (i can)

ha ha ha! ]

We will have to live with what we find out, no matter what it is.

[ Or someone can fucking kill Shinobu PLEASE ]

[fishingforcompliments]

[FLAYN WAS JUST TALKING WITH AKANE!!!!]

...yes, you are quite right. The truth is the truth, no matter how much we may dislike it.

[wisterin]

[ stares straight into your soul ok

They were talking. True. ]

I have a feeling I won't like most of the truths this island gives us.

[ She doesn't know how right she'll be. ]

[fishingforcompliments]

I get that feeling as well. But... whatever the truth may be, we will have to accept it nonetheless.

[in retrospect she will really hate this conversation]

[wisterin]

[ Shinobu will also look back on this conversation with less than positive feelings. ]

If only there was a way to make our own truths.

[fishingforcompliments]

...we will search for one. And in the meantime, I am certain that we will all do our best.

[hah.]

[wisterin]

I believe in the good to do good.

[ And the terrible to be more terrible. ]

[fishingforcompliments]

Very well - in that case, let us move forward and do what we can.

...please inform me at once if there is anything I can do to be of assistance, Shinobu.

[wisterin]

Thank you. To you as well, if I can be of any help to you as well, please don't feel afraid to ask.

[fishingforcompliments]

Thank you very much! I will be sure to do so.
