Maybe we can be wiser in how we spend our time at the start of trials. Lack of evidence or not, we should have been taking action to check one another long before the halfway mark.
We could have done that - however... would we have known what sorts of injuries to be looking for?
[her brow furrows]
There is certainly merit in verifying our injuries, but to look too soon could be equally risky. The footprints we found... once we discovered that there was a small number of us that could fit them, I do not think suspicion really left members of that group. If we become suspicious of someone too early, it could prevent us from identifying the true culprit.
...and I do not ever wish to see us fail to identify a killer again.
No, you're right on that much. Lili had asked if I wanted an injury check early on. I gave her the same reasoning.
With the powers we all presumably have, though, I can't help but wonder if we need to be a little more suspicious from the start. Not just with injuries, either.
Maybe one of the Directors would be willing to lend us a hand, in exchange for something else.
It's a long shot, but now that the trial's over... we can't exactly go and retrace our steps. But if we can prevent that kind of mistake later, then we might as well try.
Sort of. We could ask for requests and special items in exchange for different tasks. I don't know if the Directors have that kind of flexibility, but the worst that can happen is that they say no.
I suppose that is true... or perhaps more things might appear in the camp store from time to time. That seems to be the purpose of the vouchers and the tasks we are assigned each week.
Possibly. We'll have to see if anything comes up next week. Yu was a good friend, so all of this has been a little hard to swallow.
...
...Maybe we can do something at the memorial hall next week. The dead were able to hear from us in a limited way at the temple. We should try to let them know we're going to keep trying.
No, we didn't. Those that died were able to write us letters which we could respond to, but otherwise we had no idea of knowing where they were or what they were doing.
They were able to figure out some things going on behind the scenes before the living caught on, though. So we definitely shouldn't ignore the ones who are becoming victims here.
Considering their limited writing space on those cards, they probably have to be careful about what they choose to say.
It is a good sign that they are able to communicate with us in some way. I do not believe that anyone intends to ignore anyone who has been killed, Guy.
If anything, we shall all be paying close attention to their insights.

I think perhaps you ought to avoid anywhere there would be something into which he could throw you.

Unless this is a common way to solve problems where you're from, I mean.

You don't have to worry so much about me, Flayn. I'll be fine.
...Are you doing okay? I know the trial was rough on everyone.
no subject
I am as well as I can be. This is not the first time I have seen people die, but... [she shakes her head] It does not ever get any easier, I think.
no subject
Yeah. It really doesn't.
He deserved better from us. They both did.
no subject
...we let them down.
no subject
...
We did.
The best we can do is find a way to turn this game around in our favor.

That's on all of us, though.

Anyway, Tsuru and Evan were able to send others notes, right? Maybe we can find a way to return the favor somehow.

All of us have been through this before. I want to hope we'll have less hesitation as a whole.
Might seem bleak right now, but we'll keep trying.
