They made all that fuss about no one murdering anyone else, and all it takes is for a single, honest accident for someone to completely turn this whole thing on its head. This entire thing is being put on his shoulders because they were both in the wrong place at the wrong time, and we still have to treat it like anything else.
Yeah. Keeping information to ourselves is just going to make things worse.
The bus told me something that I've been having to think about a lot the last week - I still don't know if it's important or not, which is the only reason I can't explain it right this minute. Now that all this has happened... I'm going to see what I can confirm with the directors about my suspicions.
Either way, I'm sure that this isn't going to be anything close to a simple answer. I'm not sure force is going to make things any better, either. But I think we all know better than to just sit and wait.
Who knows. This isn't the first time I've seen the rules changing this rapidly, though. I guess that's why I'm not entirely surprised.
[When you get used to a new set of rules every seven days and sometimes multiple changes throughout the week or even the DAY, it gets. Exhausting!!!!!!!!!]
Fair enough. [He can't judge, he's over here mom-ing at Flayn in as gentle a way as he can, so like... big mood...]
...I'm glad he's got friends like you willing to wait it out with him. To be in that situation all on your own... hah. That would leave you pretty hollow, I think.
Right... How many of them took the full force of not knowing about anything that was happening, only to be attacked and sent off somewhere, wondering if you'd ever be able to come back at all...
Must have been terrifying.
...
[It takes him a second to realize that his shoulders have drawn a bit too tight. Settle down. It's fine.
...]
All the more reason to try and not repeat things as best as we can, right?
[ she sighs. they probably will be here for a few weeks, so it's just trying to solve everything they can in that time with the lowest amount of casualties as possible. ]
Since they said that death is officially part of the competition now... how exactly are they going to ensure that?
I know there was at least one of our groups that's had to kill unwillingly. If not... I imagine bribery, threats, or blackmail aren't out of the question, if things get desperate. Who knows.

Evan was someone you knew, wasn't he? He seemed nervous, but nothing more than that.
I'm not surprised the whole thing was an accident.
[Which makes this more infuriating, honestly.]

It's... such a bad joke.

[NOT. HAPPY ABOUT THAT.]
The damn kid deserves better. They both did.

[ evan obviously does, and given what his friends were saying about him in trial, she can only assume that tsurumaru would too.

We need to figure out how to end this as soon as possible.

It makes me wonder what else we can't say?

We'll probably have to discuss options as a group later.

That's... that's definitely a "later" thing, though.
I'm guessing we won't see you until sometime tomorrow, right?

But I'll be back after... whatever happens.

It really makes me think about the people who died really early on in the other places. Before they got to know others.

I'll ask later, but we might get more answers on Monday.
