IT'S MY PARTY! AND I'LL CRY IF I WANT TO, CRY IF I WANT TO

[One hour after the execution, prisoners who have gone back down to the dorm floor will find Angela waving outside the mess hall.]

In honor of what Akira definitely would have wanted and Vita probably at least would have laughed about, we're all having dinner together.

[There's pots of coffee, and glasses of soda, and something like garlic bread, and spaghetti, and it sounds like there's even more food cooking in the kitchen.]

This would be a great time to share anything you got from playing ET, too, you know? [She's just trying to start conversation about literally anything else...]

[He examines the picture...and nods. He has questions, but they aren't relevant right now. He pulls out his own picture - a girl, smiling, hair tied up in pigtails like his own. A pure and innocent face, not terribly unlike his, though they look different enough from one another that they wouldn't be assumed to be siblings.]

...She's definitely dead, too. I watched it happen not long before I woke up here - less than a day. Sensei died, too, but I only got a picture of her. Setting aside how close to impossible it should have been to climb the mountain and get me out of the classroom without anyone noticing, she....shouldn't have known about Kayano-chan's death. Not how it happened, maybe not even that it had happened, and....definitely not that she would shake me more than sensei would. Sensei would've been the obvious choice.

But....one of the people Akira-senpai was shown was Karma-kun, another of my classmates. I had no reason to believe he was dead until Akira-senpai told me. But....why would only Akira-senpai receive a picture of him, and not me, too?

It's almost like....she was specifically targeting him.

[losergod]

... It does feel that way. And with our memories tampered with, it's possible this blackmail was focused for that reason.

[ It's definitely concerning. ]

But I don't know what it means. How could they have gotten all this information?

[theserpentsmiles]

I don't know. But....considering how much detail there is, we can probably expect our weaknesses to be targeted again.

[He...doesn't think the government had anything to do with his being brought here, now. It just wouldn't add up, and they definitely wouldn't....know about Kayano....]

Killing is easier than people want to think it is.

[losergod]

It's... definitely an issue.

[ Sigh. ]

And the other two things?

[theserpentsmiles]

The second thing is what Bottson said when giving the suspects list. "Who stole my" what?

[Was that some kind of glitch? What on earth happened?]

...The third.... I'll have to apologize to sensei. That's all.
