[The blight would not stop.

The world's leading experts have been trying to find a cure, to no avail. Th blight keeps changing, keeps foiling all attempts at being fully understood. It's almost sentient, or at least more sentient than any disease that's been encountered before. People fear the disease jumping from what's left of the grapes into other plants, into animals, or even humans.

You can only watch as entire economies and ecosystems collapse. You can only bury your head in your hands as your own business comes to its end. The destruction of the clusters of grapes has not simply destroyed the wine industry, either-other businesses are being destroyed by the plague. Food, transport, retail, nothing is untouched.

You look on your own vineyard, its yield almost entirely blackened and dead.

This can't keep going on.

A week has passed since everyone's arrival. No one has died, yet. But surely no one is holding their breath to see if they would survive this unscathed. They are veterans of the game, and they must know that whoever it is that is in charge demands their pound of flesh. The question is when it will happen.

It is the second week, after all-and when the second week of the game comes, death is not far behind. Not even when you wake up, feeling something different in your mind as you remember the truths you originally woke up with, deep in your mind. You feel...lighter, somehow, when you realize there is a change.

Even so, there are 15 strangers left in this place.]

[ This was completely expected at some point, so really, he's not entirely surprised when Akira sees the outfit and makes a comment about it. ]

Who knows?

[ He shrugs and moves to brush his fingers along the shirt's surface before drawing it back. ]

Either way it's not even one that would fit me. It's actually something Nagisa wore at one point.

[ He blinks, and then he's laughing softly... ]

By choice, or...? Either way, I have to say whoever picked it has good taste. Very cute.

Definitely not by choice. It was for an undercover thing and he's the only one who could have pulled off looking like a girl without actually being one.

[ Karma can't help but chuckle a bit at the memory itself. ]

I know, right? Definitely cute. I mean, it looks better when worn, but that's not happening here anytime soon.
