I want to save them.

[goalsides]

No matter what it takes?

[overlimit]

I've been saying for a while that I don't plan on leaving anyone behind here. I'll look like a real idiot if I start making exceptions to that now.

So... yeah.

[goalsides]

I was hoping you'd say that. [and yet he sounds resigned more than anything.]

I can't even start to think about what we're going to have to do this week. If the dorm heads are separated from Hugo, Luke, Annie and Iris what do we even do with them next?

[overlimit]

[rita has been assimilated into anime protag culture. it's fine.]

Wish I knew for sure. We can try taking them down without killing them, maybe beat some sense into them... but that won't necessarily prevent the story from taking hold of them again.

[she's thinking... and she gives an irritated scoff.]

... Really hope those field trip clues aren't the answer.

[goalsides]

Didn't you guys get information that said everything we got from those was true? [annoyed...]

Spring bought the last round of information, right? Did you see it?

[overlimit]

[cringing a little at that.] Yeah. To both of those.

"The pen is mightier than the sword"...

Wasn't sure if it's supposed to be a message about pacifism, or... you know, storywriting.

[goalsides]

Could be both. That's the problem. We're gonna have to be careful if we're not sure yet. But...it's weird. I'm afraid of taking it so literal when the whole place is so focused on fighting in the first place.

[overlimit]

They even underlined it and all...

[but how to interpret that? she sighs.]

At any rate, I think most of us are pretty sick of killing, or seeing people getting killed.

[goalsides]

..."most of us" isn't the most reassuring thing in the world, Rita, but I get your point. I'm pretty sick of it myself. It'd be nice not to have to fight so hard for once.

[but he knows that's pretty impossible, so it's a pipe dream.]
