[ normally she wouldn't stop, esp as she is trying to hide her cries but it's taichi so ]

... Are you okay?

[goalsides]

I'm fine, I'm...school sucks. [that's what he says first, but he approaches closer.] Are you okay...?

[feytality]

... I'm really glad you're back to normal.

[ her eyes be red wow that's a lot of crying ]

No... but... I just need to... collect my thoughts. So I can be okay tomorrow.

[goalsides]

You and me both. [to all of that. but also no...maya...] ...if you want to talk, you know I'll listen. Or we can just talk a walk and regroup. We've got a long day tomorrow.

[feytality]

.... Let's walk and regroup.

(I don't even know what I'd say...)

[goalsides]

[they will walk! he's keeping a pretty slow pace though...]

...we'll figure it out. We at least know they're both going somewhere safe and they won't be alone.

[feytality]

[ walking with him, not really paying attention to where they're going. ]

Yeah... and... Mr. Sieghart said they were coming back soon, so...

(We just have to hold on for a little longer...)

[goalsides]

...I trust Sieghart to know what he's talking about, at least. [they are aimlessly wandering, because sometimes you just do that.] That has to be a good sign. We're so close to the ending.

[feytality]

[ she nods!! she trusts sieghart too ]

Yeah.... everyone will be saved... including them.

[goalsides]

...you do believe that still, don't you?

[because it's way too easy to lose hope when people keep getting killed, actually.]

[feytality]

I do. I do believe that.

[ she has to. ]

[goalsides]

Good. I do, too. [they don't have another option.] ...I don't even know where to start. We've been doing this for so long, but at the same time it always feels like we're starting over.

[feytality]

... We'll just have to start at the beginning as always, then. Work through the evidence, and everything.

[goalsides]

Yeah...we still have a few tricks left that'll help us sort things out when we start narrowing everything down. It's just going to be about keeping everybody focused.

[maybe this week people won't start fighting about stupid stuff.]

[feytality]

Yeah.... the punch, and the goggles, and the hint... hard to imagine any of the killers getting away this week.

[ especially as sakyou and manwol were not murderers...... as far as she knows anyway. so there's nothing to argue about ]

Hopefully people won't... try to put one life above the other. Both of them are so precious.

[goalsides]

Trust me, I agree with you. Both of them are my friends, so I want to solve both of their cases if we can. It's just...the likelihood that our culprit is somebody we all like is pretty high, too.

[feytality]

[ maya nods. she doesn't believe any of the killers were bad people, it was just.. beyond their control ]

[ and it wears her down, having to watch them be put to the death, over and over again ]

What are we going to do, in that case...?

[goalsides]

That...is what I'm unsure of. [may as well admit that, because it sucks no matter how you look at it.] We're going to have to decide.

[feytality]

I don't think..... there's really a right decision, when it comes down to it.

[ ... ]

Just have to pick the option that's the least horrible, right?

[goalsides]

Yeah. We'll...be fine. We're just going to have to make sure people remember this isn't personal. We have to do what's best for everybody.

[feytality]

Right... of course.

[ ... ]

Are you... okay? It's been a really tough week for you.

[goalsides]

...[he runs a hand through his hair briefly.]

I feel like I've missed a lot even though I didn't even go anywhere. It's a little...weird, I guess.
